MIORA CHAMPION TRIP SINGAPORE–MALAYSIA 2026

MIORA CHAMPION TRIP SINGAPORE–MALAYSIA 2026
August 8–10, 2026
Building Champions. Building Dream Team.

The MIORA Champion Trip Singapore–Malaysia 2026 became one of the most memorable journeys for the MIORA family. A total of 35 participants from Jakarta, Medan, Palembang, and Pontianak joined this special trip filled with fellowship, travel, recognition, celebration, and meaningful moments together.

DAY 1 – Saturday, August 8, 2026 | Johor Bahru – Singapore – Melaka

A total of 19 participants departed from Jakarta to Senai Airport, Johor Bahru. Two participants flew directly from Medan to Changi Airport, while 14 participants from West Kalimantan traveled via Kuching to Changi.

The Jakarta group arrived at Senai Airport at around 9:00 AM. After taking group photos at the airport, we met Bang J (Azam), our Malaysia Tour Guide from Athan Tour, and continued by bus to Singapore.

At around 12:00 PM, we arrived at Changi Airport and met Adel, our Tour Leader from Athan Tour, as well as Mr. Johnson, our Singapore Tour Guide. This was the moment when all 35 participants finally came together as one complete group.

We celebrated the moment with group photos, videos, and the MIORA cheer, then enjoyed the spectacular indoor waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport.

From Changi, we headed to a restaurant for lunch before continuing to Merlion Park. We enjoyed the atmosphere of Singapore, took group, family, and individual photos, and recorded another MIORA cheer video. Mr. Johnson was very helpful and skillful in assisting us with many memorable photos around the Merlion area.

For me personally, this trip was very special because it was the first time I could travel abroad together with MIORA members and my closest family members at the same time. I was joined by my wife, our three children, my two younger siblings, and two nephews. It was truly a precious family moment.

From Merlion Park, we continued to Gardens by the Bay, where we took more photos and videos together. After that, we stopped for shopping and bought Singapore souvenirs and chocolates.

Later in the afternoon, we visited Universal Studios Singapore, where we again enjoyed taking photos, making videos, and sharing the excitement of the trip.

As evening approached, we left Singapore. Before saying goodbye to Mr. Johnson, we expressed our appreciation and gave him a tip as a token of gratitude for his excellent service.

At around 7:00 PM, we arrived at Periuk Kampung Restaurant in Johor Bahru for dinner. After taking several more photos and videos, we continued our journey at around 8:30 PM to Melaka, where we stayed overnight at the Kingston Hotel.

End of Day 1.

DAY 2 – Sunday, August 9, 2026 | Melaka – Kuala Lumpur – Batu Caves – Genting Highlands – Bukit Bintang

The second day started very early. At around 5:00 AM, we had breakfast together at the hotel and recorded some morning documentation.

By around 7:00 AM, everyone was already on the bus. After recording the MIORA cheer in front of the hotel, we departed for Kuala Lumpur.

Our main destination was the Petronas Twin Towers, one of Malaysia’s most iconic landmarks and also one of the places I had long dreamed of visiting.

At around 11:00 AM, we arrived in Kuala Lumpur and first stopped at a premium chocolate shop. From there, we continued to KLCC – Petronas Twin Towers.

For me personally, this was a deeply exciting and emotional moment because one of my dreams had finally come true. We spent about an hour enjoying the area, taking team, family, and individual photos, and recording videos.

From KLCC, we went to a restaurant for a buffet lunch. Interestingly, many of the restaurant staff were from Central Java, which made the atmosphere feel warm and familiar.

After lunch, we continued toward Batu Caves. Before arriving there, we stopped at two shops, where we bought chocolates, Tongkat Ali coffee, T-shirts, souvenirs, and miniature Petronas Twin Towers. Everyone had the opportunity to shop according to their own preferences.

At Batu Caves, we once again recorded the MIORA cheer and took team, family, and individual photos.

After about 30 minutes, we continued to Genting Highlands.

Because it was Sunday, the area was quite crowded. We queued for the cable car and rode up to the top of Genting Highlands. The atmosphere was cool and misty, with temperatures of around 18°C, making the experience even more enjoyable.

At the top, we took more photos and videos before taking the cable car back down. Once everyone had regrouped at the lower station, we boarded the bus again and continued to Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.

The bus ride itself became another memorable part of the trip. We took photos, recorded videos, motivated one another, and enjoyed karaoke together, singing Malaysian, Batak, Javanese, and Dayak songs.

At around 8:00 PM, we arrived at a restaurant in Bukit Bintang for our Gala Dinner.

That evening became one of the highlights of the Champion Trip. We held a semi-formal recognition ceremony and presented the Best Leader Awards to the top-performing Champions:

1st Place – RB SL Tambunan
2nd Place – DM Tuti Sumiati, represented by RB F. Amisah
3rd Place – Ruby Risma Manurung

Recognition was also given to leaders who had achieved the Crown rank.

The evening became even more meaningful with the celebration of the 30th Wedding Anniversary of Dr. Manuntun Sitinjak & Maria Sri Muhenti.

We also celebrated MIORA members whose birthdays fell in July and August.

At around 10:00 PM, the event ended and we returned to the Kingston Hotel, Bukit Bintang.

After a short rest, my wife and I, together with several family members and MIORA members and leaders, went out to enjoy the evening atmosphere around Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang.

At around 11:30 PM, we returned to the hotel and rested.

End of Day 2.

DAY 3 – Monday, August 10, 2026 | Kuala Lumpur – KLIA – Indonesia

The final day started very early. At around 5:00 AM, we were already preparing to leave the hotel for KLIA.

Before departing, we took more group photos and recorded the MIORA cheer one last time.

During the bus ride to the airport, Bang J, Adel, and I shared farewell messages, words of thanks, and heartfelt apologies after three wonderful days together.

Upon arriving at KLIA, we again took group photos, recorded the MIORA cheer, talked together, and enjoyed our final moments before everyone departed for their respective destinations.

Before saying goodbye, we also gave tips to our Tour Leader and Tour Guide as a token of appreciation for their service, care, and support throughout the trip.

The participants then departed in different groups:

• 2 participants to Palembang
• 3 participants to Medan
• 14 participants to Pontianak
• 16 participants to Jakarta

At around 11:00 AM, the Jakarta group arrived safely at Cengkareng after a remarkably smooth landing.

It was a beautiful ending to a journey filled with friendship, celebration, recognition, dreams, and gratitude.

Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Mercy Grotto Sekincau

Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Mercy Grotto
Sekincau, West Lampung, Indonesia
June 18, 2026

We came to West Lampung as part of our ministry and business mission through Miora. This journey was not only about work and building a better future, but also about serving others, encouraging people, and becoming a blessing wherever God sends us.

That morning, we woke up early and at 5:00 AM set out for Our Lady of Mercy Grotto (Gua Maria Bunda Kerahiman) in Sekincau, West Lampung. The cold mountain air did not discourage us. Instead, it strengthened our desire to visit this sacred place, pray, and give thanks to God.

The grotto was only about ten minutes from where we were staying. When we arrived, the main gate of the complex was still closed, so we parked our car outside and walked toward the grotto. Yet even before entering, we already felt a sense of peace and anticipation in our hearts.

Michael and I then lit candles and prayed before the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the silence of the early morning, we entrusted our lives, our family, our ministry, and our future into God's loving hands through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.

We also took time to pray the Rosary together. With every prayer, our hearts were strengthened in faith, hope, and love. We truly believe that this pilgrimage was not a coincidence, but a special invitation from God and the Blessed Virgin Mary for us to draw closer to Him.

It was a beautiful spiritual experience and a precious blessing from God. We came in simplicity, prayed in silence, and returned with hearts filled with peace, gratitude, and renewed strength for the journey ahead.

Thank You, Lord, for this grace-filled pilgrimage.

Blessed Mother Mary, pray for us.

May God bless us all ❤️

Dari Mimpi Sederhana Menjadi Doktor

Gelar Doktor dari UNTAR 2 Juni 2026

Perjalanan Panjang Sebuah Impian

Dari Mimpi Sederhana Menjadi Doktor

Oleh: Dr. Ir. Manuntun Sitinjak, M.M.

Jika ada yang bertanya kepada saya, "Apa pencapaian terbesar dalam hidup Anda?" maka salah satu jawabannya adalah ketika saya dinyatakan lulus dalam Ujian Terbuka Promosi Doktor di Universitas Tarumanagara pada tanggal 2 Juni 2026.

Namun sesungguhnya, kisah ini bukanlah tentang gelar doktor.

Ini adalah kisah tentang mimpi, perjuangan, kegagalan, ketekunan, dan pertolongan Tuhan yang menyertai setiap langkah kehidupan saya.

Saya lahir dan dibesarkan dalam keluarga sederhana di Kampung Siamporik, Desa Sitinjak, Kabupaten Samosir. Dari kampung kecil itulah saya belajar tentang kerja keras, kesederhanaan, dan pentingnya pendidikan. Dengan penuh rasa syukur, saya menjadi sarjana pertama di kampung saya, dan kemudian menjadi doktor pertama. Bagi saya, pencapaian ini bukan hanya kebanggaan pribadi, tetapi juga bukti bahwa siapa pun dapat meraih mimpi besar, tidak peduli dari mana ia berasal.

Dinyatakan Lulus Doktor 2 Juni 2026

Seperti banyak anak muda lainnya, saya memiliki mimpi untuk hidup lebih baik, membahagiakan keluarga, dan memberikan manfaat bagi banyak orang. Perjalanan pendidikan membawa saya menyelesaikan studi sebagai Insinyur Elektro. Setelah lulus kuliah, saya memulai karier sebagai karyawan di sebuah pabrik. Masa-masa tersebut memberikan banyak pelajaran berharga tentang disiplin, profesionalisme, dan pentingnya bekerja dengan sungguh-sungguh.

Namun perjalanan menuju mimpi tidak selalu mudah. Dalam perjalanan hidup, saya menghadapi berbagai tantangan. Ada masa-masa ketika segala sesuatu berjalan sesuai rencana, tetapi ada juga saat-saat ketika kenyataan tidak seindah harapan. Saya belajar bahwa kesuksesan bukanlah jalan lurus. Kesuksesan adalah kumpulan dari ribuan keputusan kecil untuk tetap melangkah meskipun keadaan tidak selalu mendukung.

Setelah bekerja belasan tahun, muncul keinginan kuat dalam diri saya untuk beralih dan terjun ke dunia bisnis. Saya ingin memiliki dampak yang lebih besar dan mengembangkan potensi diri secara lebih luas. Dalam proses pencarian tersebut, saya akhirnya mengenal dan terjun ke bisnis MLM. Pengalaman ini menjadi titik balik yang mengubah cara pandang saya tentang bisnis, kepemimpinan, dan pengembangan diri.

Melalui bisnis MLM, saya belajar bahwa potensi manusia sesungguhnya sangat besar. Saya semakin yakin bahwa setiap orang memiliki kemampuan yang luar biasa dan pada dasarnya tidak terbatas, selama mau terus belajar, bertumbuh, dan mengembangkan dirinya. Dunia MLM mengajarkan saya tentang kepemimpinan, membangun tim, menghadapi penolakan, menciptakan sistem, serta membantu orang lain mencapai kesuksesan.

Pemasangan Toga oleh Rektor UNTAR 

Keinginan untuk berbagi pengalaman dan pembelajaran tersebut mendorong saya untuk menulis sebuah buku berjudul Creating More Quality Leaders in MLM Business. Buku tersebut telah memperoleh ISBN dan diterbitkan oleh IPB Press. Melalui buku itu, saya berharap dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan kepemimpinan dalam industri MLM serta menginspirasi lebih banyak orang untuk melihat potensi besar yang ada dalam diri mereka.

Salah satu pelajaran terbesar yang saya pelajari adalah pentingnya terus belajar. Dunia berubah begitu cepat. Apa yang berhasil hari ini belum tentu berhasil esok hari. Karena itu saya terus mencari pengetahuan baru, mengikuti perkembangan teknologi, dan berusaha mengembangkan diri.

Keinginan untuk terus belajar dan berkontribusi pada pengembangan keilmuan serta industri MLM akhirnya membawa saya kembali ke dunia akademik. Pada Februari 2023, saya memutuskan untuk memulai perjalanan pendidikan doktoral di Universitas Tarumanagara Jakarta. Menempuh pendidikan doktoral bukanlah keputusan yang mudah. Di tengah kesibukan memimpin perusahaan, membina jaringan, mengajar, menulis, dan berbagai tanggung jawab lainnya, saya harus meluangkan waktu untuk membaca, meneliti, menulis, dan menyelesaikan disertasi.

Banyak malam yang dihabiskan di depan komputer. Banyak revisi yang harus dilakukan. Banyak tantangan yang harus dihadapi. Namun setiap kali merasa lelah, saya selalu mengingat alasan mengapa perjalanan ini dimulai.

Pada akhirnya, tanggal 2 Juni 2026 menjadi salah satu hari yang tidak akan pernah saya lupakan. Setelah melalui perjalanan yang panjang, saya berhasil menyelesaikan pendidikan doktoral dan meraih gelar Doktor.

Saat itu saya menyadari bahwa gelar tersebut bukanlah garis akhir. Gelar doktor hanyalah sebuah tonggak dalam perjalanan hidup yang masih panjang. Yang lebih penting adalah bagaimana ilmu, pengalaman, dan kesempatan yang Tuhan berikan dapat digunakan untuk melayani dan memberkati lebih banyak orang.

Hari ini saya semakin yakin bahwa mimpi dapat menjadi kenyataan apabila disertai dengan iman, kerja keras, ketekunan, dan tindakan nyata yang dilakukan setiap hari.

Karena sesungguhnya masa depan tidak dibangun dalam satu hari, tetapi dibangun dari apa yang kita lakukan hari ini.

Dan itulah filosofi yang terus saya pegang:

Action Hari Ini, Ubah Masa Depan.

Tuhan memberkati.

Dr. Ir. Manuntun Sitinjak, M.M.

Report: Insights from ISSLD8 2025 Keynote and Invited Speakers

 Report: Insights from ISSLD8 Keynote and Invited Speakers

The 8th International Symposium of Sustainable Landscape Development (ISSLD8) served as an inspiring platform where global experts shared ideas on addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and urban challenges through innovative and regenerative landscape approaches.

Prof. Alessandro Martinelli from Italy, now based in Taiwan, opened the symposium with a thought-provoking keynote on the evolution of landscape architecture. He traced the discipline’s origins to its role in bridging urban infrastructure with rural nature and emphasized that today’s challenges require revisiting these foundations. By rethinking how landscapes integrate cities and nature, he argued, planners and architects can develop sustainable solutions that respect both ecological integrity and human needs. Alessandro also congratulated IPB University for advancing landscape architecture education in the Asia-Pacific region, underlining the importance of global collaboration.

Prof. Noriko Akita from Japan, Vice Dean at Chiba University, delivered the second keynote, stressing interdisciplinary collaboration as essential in addressing climate change adaptation. Drawing on her extensive involvement with government committees and her experience in post-disaster recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake, she showcased how coordinated efforts among communities, scientists, and policymakers create adaptive, resilient landscapes. Her insights highlighted the power of combining science, culture, and governance to achieve sustainability.

Prof. Nappy L. Navarra from the Philippines presented on the regeneration of wetlands, vital ecosystems that store carbon, protect against floods, and support biodiversity. He explained how these landscapes act as natural buffers and sustain human livelihoods but face severe threats from climate change, land conversion, and pollution. Prof. Nappy advocated for integrated restoration, long-term research, and community engagement to ensure wetlands continue to provide ecological and social benefits.

Prof. Shureen Faris Abd Shukor from Malaysia focused on designing therapeutic and culturally sensitive green spaces within redevelopment programs. She introduced trauma-informed design principles that help communities recover from crises, emphasizing the use of natural elements, accessibility, and cultural considerations to promote healing. Her presentation also stressed the role of green spaces in fostering social cohesion, enhancing mental health, and strengthening resilience against climate-related challenges.

Prof. Syartinilia from Indonesia highlighted the urgent conservation needs of migratory raptors, particularly the Oriental Honey-Buzzard, which serve as indicators of ecosystem health. She revealed how habitat degradation in Southeast Asia, combined with climate change and human pressures, threatens these species. Her talk called for regenerative landscapes, the creation of ecological corridors, and stronger international cooperation to protect migratory pathways and preserve biodiversity.

Together, these five speakers offered comprehensive insights that linked ecological regeneration, cultural sensitivity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community empowerment. Their presentations reinforced a central message: sustainable landscapes must be adaptive, inclusive, and globally coordinated to ensure a resilient future for both nature and humanity.
