The First Residential College (ASTAR), University of Malaya is veritably entitled as the oldest pioneer among the overall twelve hostels situated in the campus. Zealous with its hospitality as such, ASTAR was celebrating its 57th anniversary of Fiesta Hari Terbuka (FHT) from 24th February 2017 to 26th February 2017. FHT is an event organized annually aiming to strengthen the bonding of the college residents from different races and courses.

One of the highlights of the event was Borneo Night as the theme of opening ceremony. On Friday night, Tun Perak Hall, as used to be, once again became the conflux of ASTARians. The crowd was immensely entertained by the Ngajat and Limbai Bajau dances performed by SEKAR and also, the grandioso duet singing by two Borneo ASTARians which shot the peak of the night insomuch they won the standing ovation of the audience with their proprietary melodious vocal. A small number of audiences even hopped onto the stage, adding hues to the performance with their free-style dance, epitomising a warming display of harmony. It was a great night full of cheers and laughter as every attendee grabbed the chance to taste the Borneo Mee Kolok and Teh 3 Layer as supper.

Haunted House, unprecedented for the past 56 years, had piqued hundreds of public to congregate at our hostel. The feedback collected was unexpectedly whopping compliments as if the satisfaction and adventure were worth for the RM3 entrance fee, marking the success of this activity. Besides, the Open Floor session was typically for the visitation of residents and felos to both male and female hostels.  Each floor was mesmerizingly decorated according to the theme assigned respectively with the main theme, Art.

The three-day-event comprised blood donation, dental checkup, sports games, running man, food stalls and book stalls. It was truly a success as it inadvertently strengthened the bond among ASTARians through the spectrum of activities, involving the interaction with other hostel as well. Tremendously, FHT ASTAR 2017 would like to grab this opportunity to thank all the sponsors for their support and contribution.
