The Mecha Staff Games 2025 officially began with an energetic and lively morning programme, Riadah Fit@FKM, held on 28 July 2025 at the parking area of Block E07, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Organized by the Badan Rekreasi Amal dan Kebajikan Staf (BRAKe) in collaboration with FKM, the event brought together academic staff, administrative officers, and support personnel for a refreshing start to the faculty’s annual sports initiative.
The morning programme featured several engaging activities, including Senamrobik, the FKM Morning Briefing, and a casual “Ngopi Ngeteh Sama-Sama” session that created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere among participants. Staff members arrived early in sports attire, filling the venue with enthusiasm and positive energy as colleagues from different departments gathered to participate.
A key highlight of the event was the official launching ceremony of Mecha Staff Games 2025, officiated by the Dean of FKM, Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Zaini Ahmad. The launch shows the faculty’s commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle, building stronger staff relationships, and creating a supportive working culture.
To further enhance team spirit, staff members were divided into four contingents, namely The Tigris, The Panther, The Bison, and The Cobra, each representing friendly competition and unity among departments. Throughout the programme, participants actively interacted with their teammates, strengthening camaraderie as they prepared for upcoming sports events.
The Mecha Staff Games 2025 were held from 30 July to 23 December 2025, featuring seven sports: Petanque, Woodball, Futsal, Bowling, Volleyball, Carrom, and Badminton. These activities aim to promote active living while providing opportunities for staff to connect beyond their daily professional roles. Overall, the programme marked a vibrant beginning for the faculty’s sports calendar, reinforcing the spirit of teamwork, wellbeing, and community within FKM.
