Overview

The video reports the closing ceremony of the UiTM 2026 National Patriotism Convention and the 50th anniversary of Kesatria (UiTM’s knights/co-curricular uniformed body).

The event features official speeches, cluster-based resolution presentations delivered earlier in the convention, prayers and pledges, performances by UiTM bands, and symbolic milestones celebrating Kesatria’s 50 years.

Core Messages and Significance

  • The convention’s purpose is to present resolutions from seven discussion clusters focused on strengthening:

    • patriotism values
    • leadership identity
    • holistic student development

  • Kesatria is framed as a long-standing pillar of UiTM character-building since its establishment in 1976, now marking 50 years.

  • The closing emphasizes that patriotism and identity-building must be more than ceremonial—students should show real responsibility, particularly in defending UiTM’s reputation online, especially amid social media disputes.

Key Program and Innovation Highlights

  • Digital tracking/management for Kesatria activities, including programs such as:

    • “Ketsatria / Ijak Pro”

  • AI certification pathway featuring large participation (the video references tens of thousands of participants) and multiple certification offerings.

  • Record-setting achievements, including references to national records.

  • Initiatives for co-curricular knowledge resources:

    • a digital knights’ library
    • knights’ e-books
    • continuation/establishment of Knight Commander alumni (XCOM)

  • Upgrades to co-curricular infrastructure, including:

    • digitization measures
    • AI-related skill-building to improve co-curricular graduates’ employability

Resolutions Presented by the Seven Clusters

1. National / Nationhood Cluster

  • Reinforce understanding of laws related to “3Rs” (race, religion, royalty) to ensure the intent is not misunderstood as oppression.
  • Improve youth legal literacy via:
    • applying Rukun Negara principles
    • legal compliance simulations at higher education level
    • early legal education/awareness for secondary students
  • Strengthen agencies to develop digital literacy policies aligned with constitutional principles.

2. Social & Unity Cluster

  • Implement volunteering KPIs for each association:
    • require multiple volunteer programs
    • reward participation (certificates/appreciation)
  • Promote high-impact, sustainable programs to prevent allocation waste.
  • Position youth as agents of unity through:
    • national digital literacy campaigns to reduce fake news and harmful online behavior

4. Education, Knowledge & Human Development Cluster

  • Address low educational awareness among youth via awareness programs.
  • Reduce dropout risk for B40/low-income students using a mentor-mentee approach (teachers/counselors).
  • Provide “capital grants” so students can run businesses/contracts and use profits for education.
  • Improve low-income support via better dissemination/access to PTPTN and zakat information.
  • Use AI/digital technology responsibly with limits and incentives for tools like Turnitin.
  • Counter erosion of patriotism through digitalization of patriotism content (e.g., animated/digital videos) and stronger controls/filtering of harmful misinformation.

5. Digital Cluster & Modern National Security

  • Balance digital progress with character-building, patriotism, and national identity.
  • Proposed resolutions include:
    • digital civic education + technology ethics
    • digital patriotism and media literacy (increase creative national content; verify information before sharing)

    • increase youth participation in national development through greater budget allocations

6. Culture & National Identity Cluster

    • sustainable schemes including job opportunities
  • Strengthen TVET by organizing Training of Trainers (TOT) to expand mentors and community knowledge, referencing national emphasis on TVET as industry demand increases.

Closing Remarks: What Leadership Stresses

  • Kesatria is described as UiTM’s “DNA”—not only a uniformed co-curricular body, but a mechanism to shape identity, discipline, and patriotism.
  • A major emphasis is the duty of Kesatria/community members to defend UiTM’s name, especially online—highlighting the importance of student response and corrective action when misinformation or negative narratives arise.
  • The closing reinforces the drive toward AI certification for co-curricular students to meet future job market needs (with targets mentioned, such as moving toward a higher proportion of graduates by 2030).

Additional Ceremony Components
