Pentas Tenaga Milo, a platform dedicated to empowering Malaysian youths both mentally and physically, has returned for its second year which is now bigger, bolder and more inspiring than ever.
This year, Milo brings the stage to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten) to inspire and energize more local university students to be courageous, reinforcing it’s commitment to continue nourishing young champions and empowering them with core life values.
The first event kicked off at UKM with more than 220 students empowered through engaging stories of courage shared by inspiring speakers, including prominent local celebrities and UKM’s student representatives.
Key speakers included Nadhir Nasar, a rising Malaysian actor and filmmaker, who spoke about navigating creative risks in the Malaysian entertainment industry and Erysha Emyra, a rising actress and recent award winner of the ‘New Popular Female Artist’ at Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian, who shared her experience stepping out of her mother’s shadow and building a name for herself.
Al-Amin, a second-year undergraduate UKM student and winner of the Best Ramadan Bazaar Entrepreneur award shared how he successfully manages his three small businesses alongside his studies.
Meanwhile, Nuraliya Natasha, a silat martial arts athlete, who shared how she excelled academically while actively participating in leadership roles and the Economics Club.
The programme continues to serve as a platform for Milo to nourish young champions – not only through nutrition and sports, but by celebrating the strength in their personal stories and shared experiences.
Through this initiative, Milo collaborated with notable industry leaders and inspiring student voices from UKM and Uniten to share real-life stories, as the brand continued to champion a new generation of youth who dared to dream big, break barriers and uplift one another.
“For 75 years, Milo has played a significant role in nurturing Malaysia’s next generation – not just through nutrition and taking part in sports, but by being a constant presence in their growth journey,” said Milo Malaysia business executive officer Ng Su Yen.
“Through Pentas Tenaga Milo, we want to continue being that source of support by creating a platform for young voices to be heard and find strength in their own stories and the stories of others,” she added.
The event was more than just meaningful conversations as Milo also engaged with students via various activities, including serving over 5,000 cups of Milo via the Milo truck, and a 40kg tyre-flip activity where students were challenged to work together or individually to flip a tyre inscribed with negative words to positive words – symbolising the collective strength, both mental and physical, needed to rise above doubt and adversity.
The Pentas Tenaga Milo journey will next head to Uniten in July with a line-up of notable Malaysian athletes as guest speakers of the programme.
