University of Malaya General Staff Union (UMGSU), Malaysia , Youth Committee organised a training workshop from 27 May to 30 May 2009 at Gunung Ledang Resort, Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The training workshop was a team building effort which will develop awareness and organizational skills of young members on unionism.
