Summary:The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) organised its first indigenous world games (i-games) at its Gombak campus last week.

This means celebrating an immensely rich diversity beyond the conventional cultural activities of dances and songs, in the form of recreational sports that are of indigenous significance.
