The first UNIMAS Student's Bazaar was launched in 11 February 2009 at Cempaka Residential College. The "open air market" which is similar to our famous Malaysian night markets is the first of its kind in UNIMAS and the idea was put forward by the Deputy Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs & Alumni, Associate Professor Mohd Fadzil Abdul Rahman. He hopes that the weekly event would infuse excitement and create a fun atmosphere in the campus. The idea was realised by the main committee of the Student's Bazaar in collaboration with Cempaka Students Representative Committee. The Bazaar was launched by Dr Sopian Bujang, the Principal of Bunga Raya College, who prepared an Ice Kacang to symbolise the launching of the event.
