TMC Dancer KTETM Shines In Bulgaria With Anti-Corruption Performance Theme
PETALING JAYA: The use of creative arts as a platform to promote integrity and anti-corruption awareness gained international recognition after the TMC Dancer team from Kolej Tingkatan Enam Tuanku Muhriz achieved major success at a global dance competition in Bulgaria.
The team delivered an outstanding performance at the 11th World Cup of Folklore 2026 by incorporating themes of integrity and anti-corruption into traditional cultural performances.
The achievement highlighted how arts and culture can play an important role in educating society about moral values and social responsibility through more creative and youth-friendly approaches.
TMC Dancer KTETM secured Gold Awards in the Solo, Duo and Group categories while also winning the Grand Prix for dance and the Super Grand Prix overall championship title.
Chief Commissioner of the Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia, Azam Baki said the accomplishment demonstrated that anti-corruption messages can be delivered more effectively through creative artistic platforms.
He said the Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia continues supporting arts and cultural programmes capable of spreading integrity awareness and educating society about the dangers of corruption.
“Creative arts approaches help deliver anti-corruption messages more effectively to the public while creating broader impact, especially among younger generations,” he said in a statement today.
He also praised the discipline and dedication shown by the TMC Dancer KTETM team, which continued intensive training despite balancing academic commitments.
The prestigious competition was organised by the European Association of Folklore Festivals in collaboration with UNESCO and involved around 100 teams from three continents.
The TMC Dancer KTETM team, based at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in Bangi, consisted of 10 students performing traditional folk dances blended with local cultural elements and social awareness messages.
They were accompanied throughout the competition in Bulgaria by teachers Nadia Hanis Noordin and Nur Bazlina Syakirin Ramli.
To ensure high-quality performances, the team underwent seven months of intensive preparation under the guidance of Muhammad Nazri Lanibi and Muhammad Izwan Suhairi.
Meanwhile, Selangor MACC director Mohd Azwan Ramli said the agency collaborated with Kolej Tingkatan Enam Tuanku Muhriz to strengthen the role of creative arts as a platform for integrity education.
According to him, the programme was implemented together with Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad as part of efforts to cultivate integrity values among students and society.
He added that the initiative also helped bring the “Keep Malaysian Clean” campaign onto the international stage through artistic and cultural performances.
