I received a call from Dato Wan Asmadi, the President of Malaysian Business Council (MBC) di Jeddah early morning today to tell me that my son Amirul was in the Saudi National News paper - the Arab News.
There was a whole page article about what he and his colleagues have achieved. There were a few things about the accomplishment which made me proud...the entrepeneur spirit he showed in getting sponsors, the independence and self-and-team leadership he displayed throughout the period of the project, the positive attitude and camaradrie in his approach towards overcoming obstancles, and the fun he had in pursuing excellence with a passion!
They have put the Saudi Flag amongst the victors list, and fully deserved the full page splash in the national newspaper!
Yet again, I am reminded of one of the main reasons why I am here - for a better quality education for my children. They are exposed to a learning process which prepares them to succeed in a borderless global village - which awaits their generation in the not so far future!
Pakpayne,
ReplyDeleteYes you did the right thing for your children. Their exposure to the world at large will ensure that they will be able to survive anywhere in this world. Let us see if the recently established Talent Corporation can spot him or not. Don't be surprised if they can't as they may have other agendas to pursue.
