| Summary: | LAST Saturday was a memorable one for Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). As early as 8am on a Ramadan morning, hundreds of students and staff gathered around the iconic Tasik Harapan to collectively perform a simple gesture that would bring back the lake to life — not that the Tasik is lifeless, but it is not the way it was before.
More than a decade ago, a lake was created around one of USM students' residence, called Desasiswa Harapan, hence, the name Tasik Harapan, which acts as a retention pond to prevent floods. The Tasik, which was aesthetically conceived, also beautifies Desasiswa Harapan, which is privileged to have a view of the lake. |
