For many parents, the primary reason behind their
sending the children to private higher education
institutions is to ensure they can secure a rewarding and
lucrative career. We do everything in our power to
ensure this happens. From the delivery of quality
diploma, degree and post-graduate programmes to the
availability of courses designed
to equip our students with the
relevant soft skills, everything is
geared towards producing
academically competent and
socially confident young
adults. To add to these efforts
we are proud to be privileged
in being involved in the Sector
Focused Career Fair for 2014.
Co-organised by Talent
Corporation Malaysia Berhad
and Nilai University’s Students’
Representative Council, this event brought over 30 of the
top employers in Malaysia to our very own President Hall.
The event not only allowed students (from Nilai University
as well as the surrounding institutions) to network with
potential employers but also learn first-hand what it is
that these blue chip firms are looking for.
I certainly hope many students obtained many valuable
lessons from resumé writing to interview techniques and
that these will help them secure their dream job.
Speaking of which, this issue features two alumni who
have gone on to secure their dream jobs almost
immediately after graduation. One is a graduate from
the BBA (Hons) in Management who is now working with
one of the top IT companies in the world while the other
is a Diploma in Culinary Arts graduate who is working
under the tutelage of famed TV chef Emmanuel
Stroobant south of the Causeway. These alumni are
testament to Nilai U’s Blueprint for Success and
‘Enrichment for Life’ philosophy.
I would like to invite all school leavers and their parents
to visit our beautiful campus to see for themselves what
is on offer. I am confident you will not be disappointed.

such a resounding success. Walking among the throng of
students, it was immediately palpable the eagerness of
the students to join the workforce.
I would like to remind all Nilai U students that there are a

Authoring Your Own Destiny
Nilai U graduate launches self-published leadership book
at SMK Sultan Abdul Samad.
"I was a very shy and reserved guy when I
first arrived at Nilai University (Nilai U). I
read a lot of self-development books
which helped me come out of my shell,"
admits Nelson David Bassey, who recently
graduated from the Diploma in
Mechanical Engineering programme with
a Distinction. "It was then that I thought I
would try to write a similar book in
simple-to-understand English to help
benefit other students." David (as he is
known to his friends) then approached
the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering,
Science and Technology, Prof.
Dr.R.Logeswaran N.Rajasvaran, to help
with this ambitious project. "When he
approached me, he had already started
on the first draft and I fully encouraged
him as this was a very worthwhile effort. I
know PhD holders who have not even
thought of writing a book and here was a
diploma holder who was keen to do so,"
recalls Prof Loges, the co-author.
Fast forward two-and-a-half years, the
21-year old Nigerian is the proud author of
“The New Generation of Leadership:
Transforming Ordinary Young People into
Outstanding and Growing Leaders“ and
he was invited to launch his book at SMK
Sultan Abdul Samad, Petaling Jaya by the
secondary school's principal, Sarawasthy
Narayanasamy. The principal says she
hand-picked the students to attend the
launch which comprised senior prefects,
presidents of clubs and societies and
members of the school debating team.
Having read the book, Saraswathy says
she found the contents to be extremely
helpful and its easy-to-digest English
language allowed for secondary school
students to comprehend the lessons
contained within. She also said that as a
young author, David is a great role model
to her young students and she encouraged
her charges to purchase a copy.
(L-R) David Oh (mentor to author), Prof. Dr.R.Logeswaran N.Rajasvaran (Nilai U Dean of the Faculty
of Science, Engineering and Technology), Nelson David Bassey (author of New Generation of
Leadership), Prof. Datuk Dr. Megat Burhainuddin B. Megat Abdul Rahman (Nilai U Vice-Chancellor),
Saraswathy Naranasamy (Principal of SMK Sultan Abdul Samad) and Dr C.K. Lee (US Fulbrighter
Accelerated Training International and mentor to author) and his daughter, Jane.
Echoing their principal's sentiments, the
assembled students bombarded David
with their questions and also highlighted
some of the lessons they garnered from
reading the book. "A leader must learn to
deal with criticism and also learn how to
deal with pressure. Leaders not only have
a great responsibility to achieve their own
dreams but also lead their team to
success," says Emmanuel Yogan Lourdes,
a fifth former and debating team member
at SMK Sultan Abdul Samad. His cohort
Ethan Gomes also said that "leaders had
to first seek to understand before looking
to be understood. That is the true sign
of leadership."
David also conducted a workshop and a
reading as part of the launch. Also present
at the launch were Professor Datuk Dr.
Megat Burhainuddin (Nilai U
Vice-Chancellor), Dr CK Lee (US
Fullbrighter, Accelerated Training
International), and David Oh. The latter
two having been mentors to David in
writing the book. There was also a taped
video message from the US from
self-development author Sarah Michel,
who is also the third author of the book,
congratulating David on his feat.
Beyond Books
Nilai U's motto is 'Enrichment for Life' and this
means that administrators take a holistic
approach to studies. Every effort is taken to
allow students to broaden their horizons
beyond the confines of the classroom. David's
efforts to get himself published is one such
example and Nilai U is proud to have a
published author as its alumni.

Minister of Youth and Sports officiates opening of Sector Focused

This event was planned & pitched to

Students’ Representative Council President Jude Leonard John
Leonard congratulated his peers who helped set up the Sector
Focused Career Fair Nilai U 2014.
(L-R) Prof. Datuk Dr. Megat Burhainuddin B. Megat Abdul Rahman
(Nilai U Vice-Chancellor), Khairy Jamaluddin (Minister of Youth

Students and exhibitors take the opportunity to have their picture
taken with the Minister of Youth and Sports.
Almost 40 companies took part in SCFC Nilai U 2014.

questions during the press conference.
Students were eager to find their ideal job during the career fair.
Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar (Minister of Youth and Sports) signs a mock passport to signal the opening
of the Sector Focused Career Fair Nilai U 2014.
“Nothing beats having students meet
prospective employers face-to-face,”
declared Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar,
Minister of Youth and Sports, when
officiating the opening of the Sector
Focused Career Fair Nilai University 2014.
“Bringing the right sort of companies into
campuses is absolutely the right way to
approach recruitment.” The career fair is
co-organised by Nilai University’s Students’
Representative Council (SRC) and Talent
Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp).
Held from 17-18 June at Nilai University’s
President Hall, the event is designed to
raise awareness among Malaysian
students on exciting career opportunities
as well as provide guidance on relevant
areas such as CV writing and
interview techniques.
The career fair focuses on the areas of
hospitality, business, engineering and
science and is supported by over 30
participating companies, including
Celcom Axiata, Malaysian Airlines System
Bhd, RHB Banking Group, KFC (Peninsular
Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, and Mah Sing Group.
“One of TalentCorp’s missions is to ensure
local students have a clear and seamless
pathway from education to employment,”
said Khairy. “That is why this Sector Focused
Career Fair is so important because one of

the problems we keep hearing over the last
few years is ‘graduate unemployment’. This
completely perplexes Johan (Mahmood –
TalentCorp CEO) and myself who have
been involved in career fairs, as there are a
lot of jobs going round.” Citing the
Economic Transformation Programme
whereby the government will create in
excess of 3 million jobs over the next five
years, Khairy believes there is an
asymmetry of information in the
marketplace where students do not have
enough information on the jobs available,
career pathways and what is required to
impress prospective employers. “Graduates
need to build relevant soft skills to thrive in
today’s working envrionment. This will help
them gain employment that best fit their
qualifications, and carve out a successful
career of their choosing,” he advised.
Khairy commended the SRC on a fine job
in organising the event, reminding the
audience that the SRC had to pitch to
TalentCorp why their university was the
right venue to host the Sector Focused
Career Fair.He also congratulated Nilai
University on being innovative citing the
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering
programmes and the on campus facilities
which include a hangar with two planes as
an example of an education institution
rising to meet the demands of the
marketplace. The Minister of Youth and
Sports also made special mention of the
fact that Nilai University had been
named (by the Ministry of Education) as
a ‘Pusat Sukan Tumpuan Khas’ for the
sport of fencing. He hoped that by
having the necessary facilities will foster
greater interest in this niche sport and it
would also allow national atheletes to
continue their vigourous training while
continuing their studies (Nilai University
currently has two national fencers
pursuing higher qualifications).
“When we create those 3 million jobs
under the Economic Transformation
Programme, we need to make sure that
these jobs are filled by the right people.
That they are filled by Malaysians who
have the right experience, the right skills
and the right education,” Khairy
concluded, urging students to make the
most of the opportunities available at
this Sector Focused Career Fair.
Nilai University strongly believes in
facilitating student initiatives such as this
Sector Focused Career Fair which
allowed the SRC to gain valuable
hands-on experience in organising such
an event.

Stage Lessons
Students can choose from various
University Courses, such as this
Introduction to Theatre & Acting.
Nilai U students stage play as end of term project for the Theatre and Acting module.
“There are many lessons which students
gain from the Theatre and Acting module.
But the most important ones are teamwork,
communication, and unleashing the
power of one’s imagination,” says Mano
Maniam who conducts the Theatre and
Acting module at Nilai University (Nilai U).
The noted thespian admits that students
were a bit wary when the module was
introduced four years ago but has grown
in popularity immensely. “They probably
heard that there were no books involved!”
he laughs.
The omission of text books
notwithstanding, the enthusiasm and
exuberance displayed by students who
sign up for the Theatre and Acting module
is a clear sign that they have thoroughly
enjoyed their classes and are eager to
absorb lessons from the veteran actor.
Mano notes that there has been a
sizeable contingent of international
students who sign up for his classes. “This is
probably because the module represents
a great way for them to improve their
language and public speaking skills. It is
also a fantastic way to boost one’s
self-confidence. After having performed on
stage for an audience, everything else
seems easy,” says Mano.
Students in this Theatre and Acting module
are graded on the end-of-term staging of
a play, which they must produce, direct
and script themselves. “It is a completely
original endeavour which really allow
students to fully explore their imaginations.
But this is not a one-man show, thus
making effective communication and
teamwork essential if the production is to
work,” he counsels. This year’s production
saw 30 students divided into four groups to
produce four vignettes with the theme of
‘Light and Dark’. Mano says apart from
instruction that each play had to be about
20 minutes and some guidance on
scripting, the students were pretty much
left to their own devices to come up with a
play that would vow the audience.
Students in Nilai U’s Theatre and Acting module had to produce, direct and script their own
end-of-term play.
years later. ‘Christina’s Secret’ delves on
how two brothers fall for a schizophrenic
girl and how they are almost torn apart as
a result. Appropriately, as the thunder and
the rain lashed outside the President Hall
where the play was being staged, the last
piece was called ‘Light in the Haunted
House’ which saw how a young neglected
child befriends a puppet which comes to
life with drastic consequences. Mano had
in the past asserted that the success of a
play was not determined by whether the
lines were delivered perfectly or if the stage
looked professionally set up but rather
whether the audience had a good time.
Judging by the loud guffaws of the
near-capacity crowd and the even louder
applause, the students seem to have
pulled off an amazing feat.
Nilai U administrators take a holistic
approach to education and provides
students with various opportunities to
broaden their horizons. Besides the Theatre
and Acting module, students can also opt
for modules such as Dale Carnegie’s Skills
for Success, Mizuno Golf School and
Outward Bound’s Skills for Survival. Students
who successfully complete these modules
will receive enhanced certification giving
them an added cutting edge when they
enter the working world as bold, confident
and sociable young adults.
The first play was called ‘Blind Love’ and
details the complexities of teenage love
and infatuation. This was followed by
‘Biggest Mistake’ which was a cautionary
tale about a pregnancy out of wedlock
which leads to tragic consequences 25

Living the Dream
Young Business graduate is excited to be working in one of the giants of the computing industry.
“Set goals, know your passion and be
determined to strive all out to achieve your
dreams. Always have the right attitude and
stay positive!” declares Yee Yin Sinn who is
currently employed as a Business Controls
Professionals at IBM Malaysia Sdn Bhd. A
bright and vivacious young lady, Yin Sinn
has been striving to make her mark in the
corporate world since enrolling in Nilai
University (Nilai U) in the BBA (Hons) in
Management programme in 2010. The
21-year-old admits to being seduced by
images of successful corporate high-flyers
in films and books when she was a
teenager and says she was incredibly
excited about joining an organisation with
over a hundred years history. “I am very
proud to be hired by one of the top
corporations in the world. It would not
have been possible without the help from
my Nilai U lecturers who shared their own
experiences of the corporate sector with
students. Their help and advice certainly
helped me prepare for life in the corporate
world,” she affirms.
Nilai U’s Faculty of Business offers a host of
diploma and degree options, including
BBAs in the fields of Finance, Human
Resource Management, International
Business, Marketing, Management and a
general BBA alongside the ever popular
Accounting and Finance degree and the
Diploma in Business Administration, there
are also post-graduate options to choose
from. Yin Sinn opted for the BBA (Hons) in
Management programme as she felt that
this was where her forte lay, pointing out
her organisational and communication
skills as among her strong points. “I was
President of the DIY Club and Treasurer of
the Students’ Representative Council while
at Nilai U. These positions taught me many
valuable lessons in responsibility as well as
how best to communicate with my peers,”
she says. Yin Sinn is at pains to stress the
importance of such soft skills as she says
she has to deal and communicate with
colleagues from all over the world.
“Cultural literacy is very important as you
outline plans with peers from offices in
various parts of the globe. Being able to
communicate effectively is key in these
situations,” states the Malacca-born lass.
It is thus no surprise that Yin Sinn advices
all school leavers who want to follow in her
footsteps to brush up on their soft skills.
“Nilai U offers plenty of opportunities to do
so. Besides the many clubs and
associations which help students become
more confident with their own
organisational abilities, there are also a
number of ‘university courses’ designed to
specifically improve communication skills,”
she recommends. Nilai U undergraduates
are required to do four credits in subjects
unrelated to their core fields. The
administrators have gone to great lengths
to offer courses that will give graduates an
added cutting edge in the employment
market. These include Dale Carnegie Skills
for Success, Outward Bound Survival Skills
and a Theatre and Acting module
conducted by veteran thespian, Mano
Maniam. These are just some of the courses
available to students who will receive
certification upon successful completion.
Yin Sinn is keen to point out that these soft
skills along with a quality degree are what
attract potential employers. She singles out
‘determination’, ‘passion’ and ‘attitude’ as
the essential characteristics that
multinational organisations look for in
graduates. “I believe Nilai U offers the right
combination of academic pursuit along
with social and extra-curricular activities
that help mould students into confident
young adults. It is a winning combination!”
she declares.

Making the Grade
Nilai U Culinary Arts graduate is excited to be working with a celebrity chef.
“A mere ‘interest’ in cooking is not good
enough a reason to enter a culinary arts
programme. You need to have ‘passion’
and it better be a burning and fiery one at
that,” exclaims Nicholas Jason Cox, who is
currently working at Saint Pierre Relais &
Chateaux in Sentosa Cove, Singapore. He
is extremely excited to be honing his craft
in a fine-dining French restaurant under
the guidance of celebrity chef, Emmanuel
Stroobant. (The Belgian chef is best known
for the ‘Chef in Black’ series on the Asian
Food Channel.)
“The reason I say that potential students
need to have a burning desire is because
this is a very tough profession and students
will need to have a burning desire to
succeed,” he cautions. “You will be
subjected to long hours, plenty of scolding
from chefs and even practical jokes when
you are the junior member of a kitchen!”
He points to the time when he was made
to iron every single piece of linen on his first
day of work, only to be told that they
actually had to be folded after he finished
the chore. “It was a prank by the assistant
manager but I took it in the right spirit.
Everyone has to go through this whilst
working in a kitchen,” smiles Nicholas.
“Working in a professional kitchen is very
different from training in culinary school
kitchens. You will very likely cut, burn, shred,
and possibly even slice a digit or two,” he
states matter-of-factly. If you still love what
you do after that, then culinary arts is
definitely the programme for you!”
Nicholas’s culinary journey began when
he helped his mother prepare the family
meals when he was a wee lad growing up
in Miri, Sarawak. He then started watching
lots of cooking programmes, including
Chef in Black, and that was when he
realised he wanted to further his studies in
this field. “Like I said, ‘interest’ alone is not
enough; professional kitchens are no
place for shrinking violets. But I discovered
that I liked the hustle and bustle of a
working kitchen and that I really love the
whole process of preparing food in a
restaurant, which is very different from
home cooking,” he explains. “For instance,
in a restaurant, every plate has to be
exactly the same. We also need to be able
to work perfectly in a team to ensure the
food service runs smoothly.” He says he
applied to Saint Pierre Relais & Chateaux
because he wanted to learn from
Stroobant. Nicholas must have impressed
the Chef in Black as he has been retained
after completing his internship. He feels
very privileged to be able to learn from a
famous chef and says Stroobant has no
airs about him. “He is very much like on TV friendly, approachable and likeable!”
The 21-year-old says that he had very
positive experiences at Nilai U and is full of
praise for the lecturers in the Faculty of
Hospitality and Tourism. “Many of them
have become friends. I always drop by to
say ‘hi’ when I am in town,” he smiles. “In
fact, the relationship among students and
teachers in the faculty is very good as the
lecturers are always available to guide
and counsel students, whether it is
academic, professional or personal.” He
goes as far as to say that the quality and
dedication of the lecturers is the one
reason students should consider joining
Nilai U. “They really make a difference.”
Though he is currently focussed on
learning as much as he can from the Chef
in Black, Nicholas says he would like to do
a degree later on. This is to allow him to
have something to fall back on should he
no longer able to cut it in the physically
demanding environment of a professional
kitchen. Inspired by his own lecturers, he
hopes to someday pass on his knowledge
to a new generation of budding chefs. “But
I will only want to teach those who have a
burning desire to be great chefs!” he adds
with a twinkle in his eye.
Graduates from Nilai U’s Faculty of
Hospitality and Tourism will also receive
enhanced certification from the Malaysian
Food and Beverage Executives Association,
giving them an added competitive edge.
