A key highlight of the evening was the Rock the Goal Adaptive Fashion Show, inspired by the spirit of punk rock to showcase fashion as a force for inclusivity and sustainability. The runway featured individuals from diverse backgrounds, all dressed in sustainable fabric creations by Sunway Fashion Design and Technology students.
The celebration also featured video messages of support from world-leading organisations, including the world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay, who sent a personal message all the way from London, congratulating Sunway University on its remarkable efforts in advancing the SDGs, quoting "Sunway, you really are a Campus With A Conscience."
United Nations Malaysia Resident Coordinator a.i., Robert Gass said, "To all the young people here, you are the heartbeat of this movement. 10 years ago, the world united over the 17 SDGs, but these goals need more than governments and United Nations, they need your ideas, your courage, and your action. Music inspires, unites and reminds us that change is possible. Every action, big or small, brings us closer to the world we want. Together, we can achieve the SDGs and let's keep rocking the goals."
President and Vice Chancellor of Sunway University, Professor Sibrandes Poppema added, "We were honoured to host this landmark celebration in partnership with the United Nations. The energy and passion of our students and community reflected Sunway's commitment to sustainability and inclusivity. Rock the Goals 2025 truly showed how education can inspire action and nurture a generation ready to achieve the SDGs."
Rock the Goals 2025 was hailed as a credit to Malaysia, amplifying the nation's commitment to sustainability on the global stage.
