A big part of this magazine is made possible with the help and support of student helpers. A great example would be the 1World Culture and Future Leaders Camp. These are big events and coverage and photographs were made possible with the help of student helpers. They ran, harried and covered every inch of the venues in the hope of catching the perfect photo that captured the mood of these events. The cover shot for this issue is a great example of the work put in by the student helpers.

I urge any student who wants to learn about editorial work to contact us. Not only will it look good on your résumé, the Explorer is a great opportunity for you to learn many new things. At Nilai U, we believe in providing plenty of opportunity for our students to spread their wings. This is one such opportunity and I sincerely hope that more students will take up the challenge of learning firsthand how to put out a university newsletter.

“Whilst the government urges to think in terms of 1Malaysia and for us to extend our friendship to all races, we have gone a step further by having this event that promotes better cultural understanding among all peoples. It is hoped that these events will lead to you, the participants, making new friends from all corners of the globe,” says Prof Dr Lee Boon Thong, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Nilai University (Nilai U). He was speaking a the closing ceremony of the fifth annual 1World Culture event which was co-hosted by Nilai U and Universiti Putra Malaysia, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and National Department for Culture and Arts (Ministry of Tourism and Culture).

Organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and National Department for Culture and Arts (Ministry of Tourism and Culture), the1World Culture event aims to showcase the art and culture of the different nationalities. This will create a scenario allowing students to have a realistic perception of various cultures. Open to all universities in Malaysia, the event has drawn comparisons with some of the popular television talent shows for its level of professionalism and commitment from the participants. The fact that the 1World Culture is a competition gives students the added incentive to practice and perform a perfect rendition on the day. Along with the bright costumes, the participants have

been steadily raising the bar at each edition of the event.

The vocal category actually had international students tackle tunes in Bahasa Malaysia. This twist is to highlight how well the international students have acclimatised to their new surroundings and will feature two categories – ‘international’ and ‘nusantara’. The latter category is for students from Indonesia, Brunei and Singapore who are familiar with Bahasa Malaysia. At this year’s event, the champion for the vocal category Nusantara (female) was Universiti Utara Malaysia student Yuannisa Aisanafi from Indonesia who vowed the judges and the crowd with her rendition of Siti Nurhaliza’s ‘Percayalah’. However, it was her countryman, Septian M Harris from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, who really got the crowd on their feet with his passionate rendition of Search’s slow rock classic ‘Fantasia Bulan Madu’. He deservedly took first prize in the vocal category Nusantara (male).

In the international vocal competition, Monash University’s Kazi Yasin Islam from Bangladesh won the male category with his spirited rendition of Hafiz’s ‘Bahagia Mu Derita Ku’. In the battle among the ladies, Help University’s Lin Jing Nan from China showcased her vocal range with Sarah Raisuddin’s ‘Ku Teruskan’ which duly won her the gong. Other big winners of the

night was the team from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (Johor) which won the dance category with a performance that combined elements of Dutch, Indonesian and Malaysian cultures. The team from Universiti Malaysia Perlis walked away with the Best Costume trophy with their intricate Tajik outfits.

In his speech, Prof Lee urged all participants and students to broaden their horizons by extending their hand of friendship to as many international students as possible. “This is one way you can make your varsity years the most memorable time of your lives,” he concludes.

End of year at Nilai University (Nilai U) is an especially hectic time. This is because apart from the usual examinations and projects, students and staff were involved in the organising, hosting and participating in the 1World Culture and Future Leaders camp events. It is the fifth consecutive year we have done this and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who worked tirelessly to make each of these events a success.

These events have become an important part of the academic calendar for students from institutions of higher learning from all over the country, both private and public. They provide students with opportunities to expand their network and to broaden their horizons. And that is why Nilai U has volunteered to host and organise these events for the past five years. They chime perfectly with our own motto – ‘Enrichment for Life’.

The varsity experience should be one of the most memorable experiences of a person’s life and these events are very much part of making it memorable. It is hoped all the participants got to make plenty of new friends and took away many valuable lessons. I also hope that they will tell their peers and to spread the word about these events. After all, they are organised for the benefit of students and it is imperative that they hear about it. I look forward to seeing many more excited faces at both the 1World Culture and the Future Leaders Camp next year.

“Do not waste any time after SPM! Students may feel that the hard work has already been done with the conclusion of the exams but it is only the beginning of their academic journey,” counsels Datuk Dr Megat Burhainuddin Megat Abdul Rahman (Nilai U Vice-Chancellor). “Too many students take their foot off the pedal as soon as the SPM exams are over. It’s fine to take a few days off to recharge their batteries but not weeks and months. Time is of the essence to ensure they know which programmes are best suited to them and that they apply for a place in their preferred institution.”

Dr Megat Burhainuddin is keen to stress to these students that their post-SPM spare time can be best utilised preparing for the next step of their academic journey. For starters, it would be great for students to start thinking about what they want to do. “I am talking about identifying what these students themselves want to pursue, not what their parents or peers are suggesting,” he says. The first step is to browse the internet for information on the programmes that have piqued the students’ interest. With so much information available online, it is not too difficult for students to determine which areas appeal to them. Having identified the areas which they want to pursue, Dr Megat Burhainuddin says that the next logical step would be for these students to understand what each programme entails and whether they have the aptitude to complete the programme. “For instance, Nilai U receives many applications for the Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering programme. It is indeed an exciting field with great career opportunities. But what applicants need to realise is that to succeed in this programme, they will need to be strong in both maths and physics.”

Personality TestsNilai U Vice-Chancellor strongly advocatesthat students use the downtime after exams to visit the campuses of the institutions that they intend to apply to. By visiting the campuses, they will get a better feel of the environment and also under-

respect, Nilai U is no different with a High Achievers Scholarship rewarding excep-tional students with 100% waiver on tuition and accommodation fees. But what sets Nilai U apart is that it also offers extra-curriculum excellence award for students with exemplary achievements at state, national or regional level. Students who have been active in leadership and extra-curricular activities can also apply for the Enrichment for Life award which allows for substantial discounts.

Time is of the EssencePrompt action essential for SPM students to ensure students make right

decision regarding higher education route, says Nilai U Vice-Chancellor.

stand the logistics involved such as travelling time from home, availability of accommodation, parking, public transport and various other issues which can have a huge impact on their varsity experience. “Some students enrol in a city campus not realising the daily commute and parking woes can become a massive headache,” says Dr Megat Burhainuddin. “At Nilai U, none of these problems exist as there is ample parking and a great network of public transportation.” But the most important thing is that when students visit Nilai U (during Open Days or through scheduled appointments), students will be given a personality test to help determine which areas they are best suited to. With the guidance of Nilai U’s experienced counsellors and lecturers, students can narrow their choices and make an informed and educated choice on their next step. “I cannot stress how important this is as their decision will have a major impact on their future,” underlines Dr Megat Burhainuddin. “Students who do this can avoid the hassle and disappointment of choosing a programme which is entirely unsuitable for them. Such missteps are costly and time consuming.”

Scholarships &financial aidPrivate higher education can be anexpensive affair. Students should act quickly by finding out what scholarship and financial aid schemes are available to them. “Scour newspapers and the internet for relevant information in this area. Media corporations offer a number of scholar-ships each year as do organisations such as the British Council. Many private institutions also offer scholarships as incentive to attract the cream of the crop,” explains Dr Megat Burhainuddin. In this

There is also a Merit scholarship which offers a sliding scale of discounts for students who have done reasonably well in their examinations. Nilai U also offers the Education for All financial aid scheme which allows students to commence their studies with just RM650. This is for house-hold with a monthly income of below RM4,000. Tuition fees will be covered by full PTPTN loan (any shortfall will be waived).“All these schemes offer students the chance to fulfil their potential through higher education without huge financial burden. But students must realise that these awards are over-subscribed and they must act quickly if they wish to benefit from them,” says Dr Megat Burhainuddin.

Alternative RouteFor those who qualify based on their forecast result, it is advisable to apply for the Foundation Programme be it Business or Science. From this the entry into a degree programme is clearly defined. Moreover the Foundation Programme would help them get to know the degree programme much better through interac-tions with the academic staff and senior students. “Usually the top students who are expected to do well will be busy looking for scholarships and applyfor places in the preferred programmes. What about students whose forecast results do not meet the minimum entry requirements for their preferred programmes? I wish to communicate to these students that higher education is still available to them and it is imperative they make the right choices,” he stresses. For students who wish to obtain a degree but do not have the necessary credits to enter a pre-university programme, they can opt for the diploma route. By entering a diploma programme straight after SPM, they will have several benefits. Firstly, these students will be

entitled to credit exemptions when they later join the relevant degree programme in the second year. Secondly, diploma students will be better prepared for the degree as they will have undergone similar subjects or modules. For instance, engineering diploma students will adapt better to the degree programmes than their pre-university counterparts as they will have greater in-depth knowledge in the area. Thirdly, such students will graduate with two qualifications and also have the option of working after gaining the diploma, making the slightly longer completion period seem neglible.

“In today’s education landscape, every effort is made to be as inclusive as possible. There are vocational courses and polytechnics offer a wide variety of programmes. Students can opt to get a certificate as a means to enter the diploma programmes later on,” counsels Dr Megat Burhainuddin. “What I want to say to these students is to not give up hope. There are still avenues for them to attain higher education qualifications even if their forecast results are less-than-stellar. However, the bottom line is for all SPM students to act immediately after their examinations are over. This is to ensure they have all the right information and are clear about their own strengths and capabilities. Once they do this, they can make the best decision possible on their futures.”

Nilai University (Nilai U), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, hosted and organised the Future Leaders Camp for the fifth consecutive year. Participants hailed from both private and public higher education centres from all over the country and were selected based on their contri-butions as student leaders in their respec-tive institutions. The latest edition of the Future leaders Camp (FLC) was held at the Nilai Springs Resort Hotel from 16-18 November and attracted 102 participants who came to develop their personal and interpersonal qualities, sharpen their leadership skills and to expand their network. The theme for this year’s camp was ‘Cultural Relations – Leading in Solidarity’.

In his welcoming speech, Nilai U Chancel-lor Prof Emeritus Tengku Dato’ Shamsul Bahrin thanked the Ministry of Education for its continued support and that it was an endorsement of the FLC’s extracurricular value. Tengku Shamsul also explained that Nilai U subscribes to a philosophy of ‘enrichment for life’ and believes that the time students spend at university will affect them for their rest of their lives. This was not just limited to their academic endeavours

but also their social experiences. He also thanked Tunku Ali Redhauddin ibni Tuanku Muhriz (Tunku Besar Seri Menanti, Negeri Sembilan) for his continued support and adding some “royal flavour” to proceedings. Tunku Ali had delivered the keynote address at three previous camps but this year opted to take a more interactive approach by having an open forum with the participants. The prince was queried on a number of issues including his experi-ences of studying abroad, institutionalised racism, as well as on how best to conquer the cultural divides within the halls of learning.

The FLC was designed to allow participants to gain valuable soft skills via workshops by the likes of Dale Carnegie Training and Chapter One Asia Sdn Bhd. Response to both workshops was especially enthusias-tic, in particular the latter, where partici-pants were given handy tips on corporate etiquette and grooming. Participants also got to listen to former FLC alumnus Lo Chee Hoe who gave a speech on ‘Leading the Youth’ and the involvement of other alumnus as student helpers, photogra-phers and ushers served to underline how well-liked the event is among students.

Second day of the FLC saw noted column-ist and social activist Dina Zaman present a speech on inter-cultural relations while prominent lawyer Edmund Bon, moderated a mock Parliamentary session. Participants were invited to make proposals to a Bill that would improve inter-cultural relations in institutions of higher learning. For many, this was their first taste of being involved in the democratic process and highlighted the myriad difficulties in drafting law that improved the scenario without impinging on minority rights.

At the end of the camp, participants were seen proudly clutching their certificates and assured all the facilitators that they would spread the word about their positive experiences at the FLC. Common consen-sus was that this was yet another success-ful edition of the FLC and with its ever-growing cachet; it would be no surprise for this event to come back bigger and better next year.

Nilai U administrators believe in providing every opportunity for students to fulfil their potential and to expose them to a wide variety of experiences allowing them to mature into confident and competent young adults. For more photos of this event, please go to Nilai U’s facebook page.

The FLC provides a safe environment for students to make new friends.

“Indo Mee Goreng satu, tak mau sayur,” laughs Brunhilde Marie Julia Geuth, as she shows off her limited Malay vocabulary. This is a big surprise given that Julia (as she is known to her friends) had won third place in the PALMA singing competition, held at Angkasapuri recently. In this competition which was broadcast live on TV2, interna-tional students were judged on their ability to sing and perform a local song. And Julia wowed the judges with her rendition of Elyana’s ‘Kalis Rindu’.

Julia explains that she has been singing that song for many years given that she had moved here with her family from Bastogne, Belgium almost six years ago. “My parents had been here on holiday and loved the weather and the laidback lifestyle, so we all moved here,” she explains. “I was enrolled in a Diploma in Sound and Music technology programme at another college as music is my passion. I got to meet other aspiring musicians and was privileged enough to jam with them. That is a song I am very familiar with."

She says that music has always been a passion as she has been singing since she was eight and has been actively singing in various bands and producing demos. "So when I told my parents that this is what I wanted to pursue, they were okay with it and let me choose a music-oriented program."

most important factor, not whether the facilities are the best and most modern," she stresses. “Machines and equipment don't teach you anything. People do." As for her singing exploits, Julia got a cheque for RM6,000 for finishing third in the competition. "I was totally shocked when the announcer called my name, I really didn't expect it," she says. But that wasn't the biggest surprise as there was a large contingent of Nilai U students and staff at the auditorium supporting her. "I am a very shy person. I come to class, do my work and go home. I hardly socialize. To see so many people cheering me on was really a wonderful surprise. It made me feel part of the Nilai U family."

Now that she has proven her vocal prowess in a televised competition, Julia is more confident of her abilities and also knows the value of good time management. "I had to juggle my coursework while competing. I wasn't going to let it affect my studies and disappoint my parents. If anything, I want to show my parents I can do well in both fields," she proclaims.

However, the 22-year-old lass is mature enough to realise that the music industry is full of pitfalls and there are many obstacles to having a successful career. So when her mother requested that she do another diploma programme as a back-up, Julia had no hesitation in accepting the mother's choice. "She chose the Diploma in Tourism at Nilai University and I am happy to study this program as it is knowledge that is applicable anywhere in the world. She was cool enough to let me follow my dream of doing music, so the least I could do is listen to her on this."

Julia admits that she has been bitten by the travel bug and says she envisions travelling to destinations where her music career can take off. "Having a Diploma in Tourism will allow me to work in the hospitality industry while I try to get my music career started," she smiles.Describing her music as electronica, Julia says she shifted towards this genre as she could do everything herself on computers. "I have been in bands before and musicians are not the most reliable people," she says arching her eyebrows, "so I wanted to be able to do something on my own."

At the moment she is enjoying her classes at Nilai University (Nilai U) and has her younger sister for company who is also enrolled in the same programme. "The great thing about Nilai U are the lecturers, in particular those from the Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism. They are very friendly and take great concern over their students' welfare. I believe at a place of education, it is the teachers who are the

Harmonica Group and Open categories.

“I started playing harmonica at an early age simply because I like the sound of the instrument and I love music. But compet-ing at an international competition has given me renewed confidence in my abilities and also boosted my self-esteem. Being world champion does that to you!” he says grinning broadly. The experience certainly left its mark on the 21-year-old as he got to meet harmonica players from all over the world and hear how their different cultural backgrounds surfaced in their playing styles. “This has certainly allowed me to grow musically as I now have a better feel of my instrument,” he says. “It was also a great being able to visit and experience a foreign country.”

Weng Hong is currently pursuing a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Nilai U. Though practice sessions Fresco Harmonica for the world meet were long and strenuous, the Ipoh native never let it interfere with his studies. If anything, it has taught him the importance of good time-management and discipline. “We may practice as a group for many hours but it was never at the expense of our studies. I always made sure that my coursework is up-to-date,” he says. With a minimum of three hour practice sessions daily, Weng Hong says he maximized his time by paying attention in class. “I sit in the front row and pay close attention during class. This way, I absorb much more and don’t need to revise as much after class,” he counsels.

He says he is enjoying his lessons at Nilai U and this is down to the friendly lecturers. “They are very experienced and are always on hand to guide us. In fact, many of them have been very supportive of my harmonica playing as well and actively encourage me to use it as a platform for greater things,” he says. For now, those ‘greater things’ are limited to teaching some primary and secondary school students. Although he enjoys teaching, he has no plans on becoming a music instructor; rather he plans to further his studies onto the Degree in Mechanical Engineering. “Paper qualification is very important. I have made my parents proud with my harmonica playing. I now want to do the same again with my studies,” he smiles.

Sweet Sound of SuccessNilai U student wins top award at World Harmonica festival.

It’s not every day that you get to call yourself a ‘world champion’ but for Nilai University (Nilai U) student, Soo Weng Hong, that is precisely what he is. Having joined fellow like-minded students from various universities, the group of aspiring harmonica players decided to form a group which they christened Fresco Harmonica. They entered the World Harmonica Festival at Trossingen, Germany in October 2013 where they vowed the audience and judges alike. Facing stiff competition from over a thousand contest-ants from 30 different countries, Weng Hong says they had to rely on all their expertise and showmanship to stand out. It must have worked as Fresco Harmonica bagged five awards including the top prizes in the

“Indo Mee Goreng satu, tak mau sayur,” laughs Brunhilde Marie Julia Geuth, as she shows off her limited Malay vocabulary. This is a big surprise given that Julia (as she is known to her friends) had won third place in the PALMA singing competition, held at Angkasapuri recently. In this competition which was broadcast live on TV2, interna-tional students were judged on their ability to sing and perform a local song. And Julia wowed the judges with her rendition of Elyana’s ‘Kalis Rindu’.

Julia explains that she has been singing that song for many years given that she had moved here with her family from Bastogne, Belgium almost six years ago. “My parents had been here on holiday and loved the weather and the laidback lifestyle, so we all moved here,” she explains. “I was enrolled in a Diploma in Sound and Music technology programme at another college as music is my passion. I got to meet other aspiring musicians and was privileged enough to jam with them. That is a song I am very familiar with."

She says that music has always been a passion as she has been singing since she was eight and has been actively singing in various bands and producing demos. "So when I told my parents that this is what I wanted to pursue, they were okay with it and let me choose a music-oriented program."

Book SmartNilai U engineering graduate publishes self-help book on new generation leadership.

Nelson David Bassey is seen with a permanent grin on his face these days. The young lad from Nigeria has plenty to smile about as he recently graduated with distinction from the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering progamme at Nilai University (Nilai U). But what has really delighted David (as he prefers to be called) is the personal development book which he has been working on for the last two years is ready to hit the shelves. Entitled ‘The New Generation of Leadership – Transforming Ordinary Young People Into Outstanding and Growing Leaders’, the book is a labour of love for the 22-year old who readily admits to being a bookworm.

“Truth be told, I was an extremely shy and reserved guy when I first arrived at Nilai U. I hardly ever left my room during my first semester,” admits David. “Slowly but surely, through reading many self-development books and getting involved in various extra-curricular activities, I began to come out of my shell.” It was then I realised that there are many young people like me who are shy and reserved and need some guidance on how to fully realise their leadership potential.” He says that he focussed on the importance of ‘leadership’ as being the essential quality after speaking to a professional financial planner and a talent manager who had been invited to be

guest speakers at Nilai U. Both speakers told him that ‘leadership’ was the essential characteristic they look for in individuals when employing or promoting.

This sparked the idea for him to write a book which would help students become potential leaders in their respective fields and communities. This may sound like a daunting task to many but it was just a challenge for David to rise to. “I had experience in setting up a new club with the Leaders of Tomorrow at Nilai U. I was also responsible for ‘I Am A Winner’ project which highlighted high achiever students on campus who would act as role models. So I was not at all daunted by the task of writing this book from scratch,” he says. He admits that much credit has to go to academic staff that actively encouraged him to pursue this idea. In fact, the Dean of the School of Engineering, Science and Technology, Prof Dr R Logeswaran N Rajasvaran, is credited as co-author. “Prof Loges was very helpful when I first approached him with this idea of self-publishing this book. He gave me plenty of ideas and also helped greatly with the editing of content,” says a grateful David. He is also extremely excited about getting an American certified professional speaker and networking expert, Sarah Michel, to contribute to the book. “I contacted Sarah and was thrilled when she responded that she would be glad to be part of my project.”

David is also indebted to his parents who backed him all the way and fronted the money required to get his book published. He advises any person who is looking to

publish a book to search online on the many self-publishing packages available and to choose one that best fits their budget and needs. In David’s case, he chose a publisher in the US who provided him with editorial, design and printing services. He plans to market his book by contacting institutions of higher learning to stock the book in their libraries. A book launch is also planned for the beginning of 2014.

Although he has yet to decide on his next academic move, David is certain that there will be another book. In fact, he sees his future as a professional development speaker. He sees no problem with that by pointing out that Nilai U had always prided itself in bringing out the best in each student. “I am living proof that Nilai U graduates can achieve whatever they put their mind to. Who would have thought two years ago that this shy, young guy from Nigeria would end up as a published author!”
