Sharpen your brainpower at the 12th MFotM

Visitors thronged the 11th MFotM’s exhibition hall.

KAMPAR – 01 July 2016: We all have known that playing with a Rubik’s cube; a three-dimensional geometry puzzle has mental perquisites. The number of algorithms and techniques needed to solve it just once has to stimulate the brain somehow. However, most of us never realised the vast capacity of mental and emotional benefits tied to the Rubik’s cube. To explore more about Rubik’s cube and its various methods for solving the puzzle faster, come and join us at the 12th Malaysia Festival of the Mind (MFotM).

This year, besides the festival’s regular locations in Perak and Klang Valley, the 12th MFotM will also be held in Penang in order to reach out to more communities in the country. The first station of the 12th MFotM will be held at Dewan Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik in the UTAR Kampar Campus, Perak on 16 and 17 July 2016, followed by the second station at Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) Penang Branch Campus on 23 and 24 July 2016. More excitingly, the main affair will take place at the Mines International Exhibition and Convention Centre in Seri Kembangan, Selangor from 4 to 6 November 2016, which is also held in conjunction with the Kuala Lumpur Engineering Science Fair.

A concerted effort by the MMLM, UTAR and TAR UC, the crowd-pulling festival in the past has invited scores of seasoned and qualified speakers and trainers introducing and promoting various techniques and skills pertaining to the improvement of mental literacy among Malaysians. These include memory skills, creativity, thinking skills, personality profiling, mind mapping, emotional intelligence, brainpower, mind power and other mental literacy tools.

Aptly themed “Great Mind, Great Future”, the 12th MFotM which is aspired to imprint on the national consciousness of the significance of mental literacy, offers a line-up of enriching talks and workshops ranging from understanding the nature and versatility of the human mind to bringing out the best of the human mind, with the aim of improving our lives.

MMLM Chairman Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik said, “In today’s globalised and competitive world, maximising brainpower is no longer an option. It is a necessity. To excel in life, one needs to adapt oneself and face new challenges intelligently and positively. These new challenges require one to find new and creative ways of problem solving.”
