“The Walhalla Hall is adorned with hues of yellow, orange and brown once again. It was a clear indication that a large-scale event was happening…”
Light showers of rain cooled the surroundings – the temperature dropped but did not dampen the spirits of our young attendees. Cars and buses started filling our entrance, guests kept pouring in, all with smiles. The blasting of the K-Pop song Ditto eased their excitement and was a great sing-along choice.
The event began with a short and delicate welcoming speech from our Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Wong Shee Kian, to the students and lecturers of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (uniMAP), SEGi College Penang, Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC) and INTI International College Penang.
Ng Khang Hsiang, our Senior R&D Manager, was next to give a technical overview of our products and services and spill the tea on current (and future) market trends, as well as the career pathways they can explore. A detailed plant tour ensued alongside career booths for our students to pose questions to our technical managers/leads regarding available job positions, job expectations, culture, etc. A handful of games were up for them to win some exclusive merchandise as well.
Lunch was served and the morning was none other than fulfilling.
Our participants, who took part in the Shuttle Your Way! 2024 Badminton Tournament, proceeded to Relau Sports Complex for the most anticipated tournament. The matches were intense, with players displaying their skills and defeating their opponents round after round.
After hours of the fiery tournament, the winners emerged! Medals were presented, and the flashes of shutterbugs went off hysterically. The tournament showcased many great (and young) badminton players, and we were glad it was a wonderful wrap-up!
In a nutshell, the event itself is part of our efforts to advocate the importance of staying active and to boost athleticism within the students.
