On 12 June 2024, the stage was set for the much-anticipated finale of the Good Virtues Co. Do Good Challenge Season 2. In a spectacular closing ceremony, Good Virtues Co., a leading halal personal care brand, in partnership with Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), proudly declared the winner of the RM 30,000 prize.
Launched in October 2023, the challenge was a collaborative initiative between Good Virtues Co., UiTM and MYC aimed at equipping young Malaysians with practical entrepreneurial skills. Under the banner "In Doing Good, We Believe That Good Is Returned," the contest inspired participants to contribute positively to society while engaging in spirited competition.
This season marked a significant milestone as Good Virtues Co. became the first brand to tie submissions from the Do Good Challenge to the credit-bearing SULAM Program, an integral part of the curriculum approved by the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia. This innovative approach not only enhances academic offerings but also nurtures well-rounded graduates with an entrepreneurial spirit.
Now in its second year following a triumphant inaugural season, the Do Good Challenge presents an opportunity for UiTM students to present their creative solutions to a panel of experts. The competition focuses on four critical areas of Community Engagement: Education, Health, Humanitarianism, and Environment, fostering a platform for impactful ideas and transformative community service.

Spanning 30 UiTM campuses, including East Malaysia for the first time, the competition attracted over 10,000 entries, providing students a unique platform to apply their academic insights to real-world challenges while promoting civic responsibility. The contest unfolded in four rigorous phases: submissions, workshops, training, and the selection of five finalists who each received seed funding of RM8,000.
These finalists' relentless dedication led to a compelling display of their projects, impressing a distinguished panel of judges with their innovative solutions. At the eagerly anticipated finale, the atmosphere was electric with excitement as the Grand Prize announcement was made. The winner, securing the coveted RM30,000, was celebrated with resounding applause, marking a memorable culmination of the event.

In an interview, we had the opportunity to speak with a group of students who recently embarked on a challenging but rewarding project. They shared their experiences, emphasizing the vital lessons they learned along the way.
The students collectively highlighted the importance of communication and teamwork. "It was crucial for us to communicate and work together," one student said. "Without a strong team dynamic, we wouldn't have been able to overcome the obstacles we faced."
They also stressed the significance of perseverance. "There were moments when we felt like giving up, but we learned that it's essential to never give up and keep striving," another student explained. "Each setback was a learning opportunity that made us stronger and more determined."
For those considering a similar initiative, the students had a clear message: "Just do it and don't let anything hold you back. The experience is incredibly rewarding, and you'll gain invaluable skills and insights."
Their journey is a testament to the power of collaboration, resilience, and the courage to take on new challenges. Their advice to future innovators and dreamers is simple but profound: take the leap and believe in your ability to succeed.

The Do Good Challenge transcends mere competition; it reaffirms the universal value of kindness that resonates across generations. By participating in acts of kindness and extending a helping hand, individuals tap into deep wells of empathy and compassion, cultivating a profound sense of fulfilment and purpose.
We extend our deepest thanks to Good Virtues Co. for spearheading the Do Good Challenge Season 2, enriching the lives of students and the broader community.
