Kuala Lumpur, the capital of the Federation of Malaysia, is centrally located on the west

coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Covering an area of 243sq km (94 square miles), it lies

approximately 35 km from the coast. Kuala Lumpur was conferred city status on February 1, 1972

and declared as a Federal Territory in 1974. The city began as a mining settlement in the late

1800s with the discovery of tin at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers.

About MALAYSIA

A

lorem ipsum dolor

The Federation of Malaysia comprises

Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah

and Sarawak on the island of Borneo.

Malaysia was formed in 1963 through a

federation of the former British colonies of

Malaya and Singapore, including the East

Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on

the northern coast of Borneo. The first

several years of the country's history were

marred by Indonesian efforts to control

Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and

Singapore's secession from the federation in

1965.

About the city:

Although KL's tin trade has since declined, the growth of the

city has remained unabated. Today, with a population of 1.8

million, it is the pulse of the nation. Kuala Lumpur leads the

country's fast paced development in trade and commerce,

banking and finance, manufacturing, transportation,

information technology and tourism.

What kind of work did you do?

I worked as a HIV/AIDS Ambassador

on a global project that AIESEC in

collaboration with Standard Chartered

Bank (Malaysia) have been running

all around Asia Pacific. I was involved

in designing and running

workshops/seminars to raise

awareness for HIV/AIDS amongst the

youth, educating students on the

current realities of the global epidemic

and prevention of HIV infection. I

reached out to more than 2000

students during my internship and

have learnt what it means to really

make a difference in the community

we live in. My office was located in the

MC (National) office, so I had the

fantastic opportunity to meet and work

with the leaders of AIESEC Malaysia.

What were the biggest challenges?

The biggest challenge for me was

being out of my comfort zone and

being away from friends and family.

However I adapted quickly with the

support of AIESEC Malaysia. From

day one, I was embraced by local

AIESECers who treated me like

family.

What were the benefits after

completing / or during internship?

The internship is as much about

learning as it is about enjoyment and

fulfilment. I had so much fun during

my internship! I’ve made life-long

friendships with my colleagues

(international interns) from all over the

world. My network of friends has

expanded to Hong Kong,

Netherlands, Korea, Taiwan, Mexico

and India! Every weekend we

travelled to a different part of

Malaysia, to fully experience the

Malaysian culture and enjoy the

authentic Malaysian street food at the

hawker stalls.

Throughout my internship, I gained

invaluable insights into teamwork,

leadership and cross-culture

experiences. The experience has

given me the opportunity to work and

travel at the same time; to forge

international friendships and most

importantly to develop my potential as

an Agent of Change.

Angela’s

internship experience

Last December, I was sitting on a plane incredibly

nervous and excited ready to embark on an AIESEC

internship to Malaysia’s garden city - Kuala Lumpur.

Upon reflection, it is easily the most satisfying and the

shortest 2 months of my life.

“ I gained invaluable insights into teamwork, leadership and cross-culture experiences. “
