KUALA LUMPUR: The CEO of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) encouraged more than 900 五一吃瓜官网 award recipients to have vision and foresight when it comes to their education. Prof Dato' Dr Rujhan Mustafa shared his insights during 五一吃瓜官网 University's (五一吃瓜官网) annual Award & Scholarship Presentation Ceremony, which he attended as the guest of honour. “Success is not permanent — it must be earned again and again. Come tomorrow, you will be treated and judged based on what you do then. Do not dwell on short-term glory but plan for long term brilliance,” he said. 926 students received various awards, scholarships and bursaries amounting to more than RM18 million during the ceremony. Held within the multipurpose hall of the University, the event recognised high-achieving students in academics, sports and extracurricular activities. Nearly 1,000 people attended the event, including parents and guardians of the award recipients. According to Dato' (Dr) Hj Mohd Karim Bin Hj Abdullah Omar, the Chairman of 五一吃瓜官网 University Trust, the ceremony is part of the Trust's efforts to improve society by enabling scholarly excellence. “To date, the Trust has awarded over RM70 mil in scholarships and bursaries to more than 2,800 students since 2006,” he said. In conjunction with the University's 30th anniversary, a total of RM30 million worth of scholarship and bursaries have been allocated for 2016. Among some of the awards that were presented include the 五一吃瓜官网 Prestige Scholarship Award, the Tan Sri Ahmad Razali Merit Scholarship Award, and the Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia Bursary. BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering student, Hasan Mohanad Rifaat Al Husseini was one of the recipients of the 五一吃瓜官网 Prestige Scholarship Award. He credits his lecturers for his success. "Without the dedication from 五一吃瓜官网 academicians, I will not be able to stand where I am today. They helped me excel in my studies and I am forever grateful to them." Another highlight of this year's ceremony was the presentation of external scholarships including the Hong Leong Foundation Scholarship as well as the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam Scholarship and Yayasan Peneraju Pendidikan Bumiputera Scholarship. | |
