MPPC 2015
Held in Sunway University from 28th to 30th August 2015, MPPC 2015 continued to scale greater heights by partnering with PR1MA and the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government. A new “crisis” element was introduced in the semi-final. Participants were tested by a change in the current ceteris paribus condition (assuming all being equal), prompting them to think on their feet and to react to the crisis accordingly.
