Research Unit is a unit consisting of 10 members of PERKEMAS who aim to provide a platform for other members of PERKEMAS to express their thoughts, views on general issues and also their talents through writings and other forms of expressionism.
Research Unit also hopes that it can serves as an upfront of PERKEMAS, showcasting Azharis as strong, ambitious and intellectually able individuals.
Recently, Research Unit has publicized OUR VOICES – an online magazine consisting works from our very own Azharis.
