General Knowledge Quiz x Business Challenge 2021

 In the year 2021, Professional Accountancy Club (PAC) organizes the first-ever event, General Knowledge Quiz x Business Challenge 2021. We hope that through this event, we could help students to improve their verbal communication skills and boost creativity in them. Besides that, we think that this could also be the perfect moment for us to promote a fun way to study out-of-classroom skills and general knowledge.

This event was separated into 2 stages: General Knowledge Quiz and Business Challenge. General Knowledge Quiz will be open to all students who are currently studying in UOWMKDU, and the top 15 students who scored the highest in this round, would proceed to the next stage, Business Challenge.


General Knowledge Quiz is open from 20th April to 24th June 2021. In this stage, students would need to register themselves via the google form that we have attached in our posts on our social media accounts. Once they have registered, we will send them the link for the quiz, along with a “special code”. They will need to use the “special code” to get access to answer the quiz questions. They could attempt the questions any time before 1st July and each participant are given 1 attempt only.


On 5th July 2021, we had a talk given by Mr Joshua Chan, who is an entrepreneur, speaker and CEO of Red Ascend Consultancy Sdn Bhd. Talk topic for the day is “Fundamental to Professional Presentation Design”. On the same day after the talk, the top 15 finalist who would proceed to the next stage, Business Challenge, is announced.
