Kuih Lapis

Kuih Lapis

The vibrant colours of the logo are inspired by kuih lapis, a beloved Malaysian delicacy known for its beautifully layered hues. Just like this traditional kuih, the logo symbolizes diversity, innovation, and unity, reflecting the rich tapestry of ideas and cultures that come together at the Congress. And just as each layer of kuih lapis is essential to its deliciousness, every participant and perspective at the Congress adds to the event’s success!
