In his welcome speech Tun Ling expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the committee members of MMLM who have dedicated much effort in sharing the knowledge and importance about mental literacy to the community. Tun Ling proceeded to talk about the importance of memory in life. He said, “If you want to remember more, pictorialise as much as you can to get a clearer picture. The human brain has boundless potential to enable us for creation, innovation, advancement, development and transformation. Hence, the key element to activate the potential of the human brain is to educate society about the significance of mind literacy and techniques to optimise the human brainpower.”

Hew, who attended the inaugural launch of the Festival in 2007, shared with the audience how his family members have benefitted from the memory boosting tips taught by speakers. “Our minds are so powerful that if used positively, it can heal and create,” he said, drawing a parallel between the impact of a positive mind full of great ideas and the reinvigorated Kampar town. “What seemed to be a mission impossible to transform a buffalo town into an education hub became a dream come true following the establishment of UTAR Kampar Campus. The influx of students transformed Kampar into a young, vibrant and international education hub, which also encouraged the growth of business and start-ups. And the mastermind behind these possibilities is none other than Tun Ling, whose idea was transformed into an impact.”

The annual Festival of the Mind aims to imprint the importance of mental literacy among the general public and to create greater awareness about the human mind and ways of tapping into and developing one’s brain power. It also aims to introduce and to promote various techniques and skills pertaining to the improvement of mental literacy, such as memory skill, thinking skills, creativity, personality profiling, mind mapping, emotional intelligence, brainpower, mind power and other memory management tools.

Supported by The Star, Grand Kampar Hotel, MBA Edge, Berroca, Redoxon, Delfi, Dilmah and Hosen Group, the 11th MFotM will also be held at Tunku Abdul Rahman University College Main Campus, Setapak from 3 to 4 October 2015.
