CLSC: The Team

当一个发扬传统文化的团体碰上了日益蓬勃的资讯科技，那将会产生怎样的化学作用？资讯的发达，以致传统不能再固步自封，停留在孤芳自赏的状况。要如何将五千年来的历史文化重新呈现在时代的尖端，成了处于这大时代的我们应该思索的问题。运用中华文化独有的色彩来滋润那冰冷的科技，更成了我们新生代的挑战。资讯与媒体股欣然接受了这项艰巨的任务，天降之大任，期许着把华文学会引领到以科技主导的新时代。

（三）让会员们感受到归属感及关怀
（四）培养拥有领导能力的大专生

如果说大学生活不应该只是读书，相信大家都同意。如果说大学生活是我们建立自身的品性、修养、见识与才能的关键时期，同意的人又有多少？有时候，大学刻板的生活，一个个犹如重复的日子，就像例行公事般不断重演。要如何在平凡中活出不平凡，在刻板中寻求不一样的精彩，我们费尽脑汁、绞尽心思，只为了给平淡的生活带来一丝火花。文娱股的成立，正代表着华文学会对会员们大学生活品质的关注，并希望在他们的生活中书写了一页又一页的精彩。
康乐组
此小组成立的宗旨为：
（一）带出以康乐为主的活动，促进华文学会理事、股委、特别活动筹委及会员的关系

华乐团
此小组成立的宗旨为：
（一）积极推广华乐
（二）培养学生们对华人传统乐器的喜爱

华乐团于第三届华文学会成立。纵使有这一群对华族传统音乐及文化充满热情的学生，无奈于华乐乐器过于昂贵，而华文学会的能力有限，不能为华乐组购买所需的乐器，致使华乐组不能正常运作。因此，在第五届华文学会文化股的努力下，于2003年1月21日，举办了一项命名为《双响》的华乐演奏会，并成功地邀请太平华联国中华乐团与八打灵公教中学华乐团前来演奏，反应空前热烈。在未来的一年内，华乐团将会筹划华乐班。

文学股
宗旨：
（一）让华文文学普及化
（二）提供文学爱好者交流的管道
（三）提供与友族同胞及外国学生分享华文文学的管道
（四）提升会员们的文学修养
文字的出现代表着一个文明的兴起，自秦始皇统一文字以来，汉字就扮演着记载中华文明数千年历史的角色。从竹简到纸张，我们看到了文字的兴旺，从西游记、水浒传到三国演义、红楼梦，我们看到了文字的多变。中华文学走过了一段漫长的时光旅途，它漂洋过海，到了南洋，到了马来西亚，更到了赛城，体现于你我眼前。正如巫族同胞常挂在嘴边的“Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa”，意思为语文是民族的灵魂，因此，文学股凭着这股信念，要在这仍处于婴儿时期的新成都，建立一个中文的乐土。

华文班
此小班成立的宗旨为：
（一）介绍华语华文予学生们，积极推广华语
（二）促进非华裔者和外国学生对中华文化的认识
为了让更多的人能够共同欣赏美丽而奇妙的方块字，于一九九七年，华文班成立了。华文班开放给所有想要学习中文的外籍朋友们和想要对本身文化有更深认识的同学们参与，共同学习。由学生本身组成的助教团，除了在上课时负责辅助导师外，也负责检讨并编排每年的课本课程。华文班如今有三个等级的小班，即初级、中级及高级班。

书会组
此小组成立的宗旨为：
（一）促进校园内阅读及写作风气
（二）提供一个管道予学生欣赏及讨论文学
（三）提供管道予学生接触华文书籍
喜欢和朋友们分享看了一本好书后的感觉、看法与想法，书会将会是个好去处。2001年，在华文学会的努力下，多媒体大学成为了第一所在大学图书馆内拥有中文书籍的私立大专，同时拨款购进了六十多本书，翌年再一口气置入约130本书，使藏书量激增至近200本。自此，书会组积极增加藏书量。书会组也不时与全马各大中文书局联办小型书展，让学生能在校园内购书。此外，书会组也不定时举办文学聚会，以轻松的方式如欣赏由文学刊物所改编的电影来探讨文学，吸引学生的参与。
