During my foundation studies at CFS IIUM, Gambang in 2020, I joined an event for Independence Day and won 1st place in the sketch competition.
I took the courageous step to join one of the major student societies at IIUM Pagoh, KLMSS, now known as CASTELLAN. I ran for the division of Culture and Arts because I have a passion for exploring and showcasing the artistic talents of our students and the diverse cultures we may know little about. There are many artistic opportunities for students here, and they need a platform to express them. This belief motivated me to step up. Being part of such an influential society during my tenure has challenged and improved me, making me a better leader, critical thinker, and team player. I am very grateful for the trust the students and the main boards placed in me, allowing me to organise various programs, projects, and events under this division. The success achieved by the Culture and Arts division is a testament to the support of my chairperson and the dedicated C&A team.
On the 24th July 2024, Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tengku Ampuan Pahang, Tunku Hajjah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah came to Malay Food Heritage Branding Flagship under KSTCL IIUM's booth, read and signed the magazine that I have partake as one of the editors. This has to be one of the most memorable achievement that I have gotten so far, and this On July 24, 2024, Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tengku Ampuan Pahang, Tunku Hajjah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, visited the Malay Food Heritage Branding Flagship under the KSTCL IIUM's booth. During her visit, she took the time to read and sign the magazine in which I had the honor of serving as one of the editors. This moment stands out as one of the most memorable achievements in my journey so far.
Having such a distinguished figure appreciate our work has significantly bolstered my motivation and dedication. This experience has heightened my determination to continue striving for excellence, recognition, and appreciation in all my future endeavours. The encouragement I gained from this acknowledgement fuels my passion for contributing to projects that celebrate and preserve our rich cultural heritage. Being part of such a prestigious event has been an inspiration, pushing me to aim higher in my professional and personal growth.
I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and the trust placed in me to contribute to a project of such significance. This milestone has reaffirmed my belief in the value of hard work and perseverance and has set a high bar for my future aspirations.
