Milestone for Olympia grads




See Toh, who accepts the Nottingham Trent University

Vice-Chancellor’s Award from Ong, hopes to do his part for

the nation.
It was a proud day for over 600 graduands of Olympia College, Raffles Education Group recently as they were bestowed awards in various disciplines by guest-of-honour Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.



The occasion also saw nine graduates receiving prestigious awards named in honour of Malaysia’s founding fathers and distinguished political figures.

"I had the opportunity to learn from fellow colleagues and lecturers from different industries," See Tho said of his achievement. "I came with a scientific approach in mind and ended with broader skill sets."



"My long-term plan is to serve as a part-time lecturer so that I can contribute to the younger generation. I believe how a nation progresses highly depends on its future leaders."



Ong, in his address, congratulated the graduands. "The government under the leadership of Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak aspires to attain a knowledge-based and developed society by 2020. It is the duty of institutions of higher learning such as the Raffles Education Group, in collaboration with its various international and local partners, to develop and impart the attributes, skills and knowledge to our human capital. I am confident that all of you who are graduating today will no doubt be contributing to nation-building in one way or another."
