Whilst Tan Sri Sahol Hamid spoke on the topic "Leading Intellectuals at a Large University: Case Study of UiTM"; Tan Sri Shukor showcased LHDN for his talk on "Smart Leadership". Both leaders spoke of the fact that "Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience" Later in the afternoon, the two leaders signed a Memorandum of Understanding to signify smart collaborations between UiTM and PBBM.
