MILO® is back on campus and this time, it’s bigger and bolder than before. Pentas Tenaga MILO®, the brand’s signature youth empowerment series, made a vibrant return this year with inspiring sessions at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN). The campaign continued its mission to energise Malaysian students with “Tenaga untuk Berani”, the energy to be courageous.
This marks the second consecutive year MILO® has taken its movement directly to local campuses, amplifying its impact on mental, emotional, and physical strength among the next generation. From real-life success stories to empowering activities, the event united university students with public icons who showed them how courage starts from within.
A Stage for Stories that Inspire
The first stop of Pentas Tenaga MILO® 2025 kicked off at UKM, drawing over 220 students eager to hear the untold struggles and triumphs of successful Malaysians. The stage was filled with energy, honesty, and purpose as speakers shared stories that touched on resilience, identity, and ambition.
Among the speakers was Nadhir Nasar, a rising actor and filmmaker who spoke candidly about taking creative risks in Malaysia’s entertainment industry. Alongside him, Erysha Emyra, winner of the New Popular Female Artist award, shared her journey of stepping out of her mother’s shadow to build her own name.
The spotlight also shone on UKM’s very own talents. Al-Amin, a young entrepreneur and second-year student, revealed how he juggles academics with managing three small businesses. Meanwhile, Nuraliya Natasha, a Silat athlete and student leader, inspired many with her commitment to both sports and academics.
Fueling Youth with More Than Words
It wasn’t just talk. MILO® brought the full experience to campus by serving over 5,000 cups of MILO® straight from their iconic truck and introducing an interactive 40kg tyre-flip challenge. This activity symbolised students flipping negative thoughts into positive ones, a visual and physical metaphor for turning self-doubt into self-belief.
By combining nourishment, inspiration, and action, MILO® gave students a meaningful way to engage with the theme of courage mentally and physically. The event truly lived up to MILO®’s vision of shaping not just strong bodies, but strong minds and hearts.
UNITEN and Beyond
Following the success at UKM, Pentas Tenaga MILO® will continue its journey at UNITEN next month. Students can expect another electrifying session and this time featuring notable Malaysian athletes as guest speakers, offering new layers of inspiration from the world of sports.

A Legacy of Support That Grows With Time
For 75 years, MILO® has stood beside Malaysian youth not just as a drink, but as a symbol of support in sports, academics, and life itself. Now, with Pentas Tenaga MILO®, that support is evolving into a louder, bolder presence for a generation ready to lead with courage.
Whether you’re an aspiring leader, creator, athlete, or entrepreneur, this is your call to be brave, be bold, and be energised.
