                       Best Business Project Idea 2017 Competition
                       The Student Entrepreneur Programme is an initiative set up by KDU Penang University College to
                       encourage student-run start-ups, essentially providing a platform for students to gain practical,
                       real-life experiences in setting up and running their own businesses.
                       In addition to expanding their knowledge and skills, the management of their start-ups, as well as
                       integrated project work, provides them with hands-on experience.
                       The initiative bridges the gap between academia and industry, bringing a business world element to
                       the campus, and provides students with a better picture of what one might face as an entrepreneur.

                       Kingdom, Sri Lanka, Korea, Thailand, Brunei, Turkestan and Malaysia. This 3-day conference was
                       filled with talks by prominent speakers sharing their valuable experiences and knowledge. On the
                       first two days, workshops and teambuilding activities were also included. The event ended with a
                       full day tour of Penang.

                       Sharing Moment with Successful Entrepreneurs
                       KDU Penang UC students were treated to an eye-opening session in 2017 as two established
                       entrepreneurs shared their experiences and insights on having a start-up business. Clarence Leong,
                       founder and CEO of easyParcel, was a Top 10 entrepreneur in 2016’s JCI CYEA (Creative Young
                       Entrepreneur Award) and recently received Merit for SOBA (Star Outstanding Business Award).
                       Leong Shir Mein, CEO of Delivereat, was Top 10 in a list of remarkable female entrepreneurs (Vulcan

                       The KDU Business Startup Coaching Day was held on 21 April 2017, featuring highly-experienced
                       speakers Dr Supi Yeoh and Mr Richard Oon Hock Chye, who both have years of invaluable
                       experience in their respective fields. Attendees were taught the fundamentals of how to achieve

     “Start Today, Save Tomorrow” Mud Ball Project
     Organised by Junior Chamber International (JCI) Batu Kawan and co-organised by KDU Penang,
     “Start Today, Save Tomorrow” Mud Ball Project was held at Sungai Jawi, on 14 October 2017.
     JCI Batu Kawan and KDU Penang spent two months preparing for this event. Lecturers and
     staff from KDU Penang took a week to run workshops on environmental protection and river
     pollution awareness at secondary schools in Seberang Perai Selatan. The preparation of mud balls
     involved about 600 teachers and students as well as parents. The main objective was to create
     environmental awareness on clean and healthy rivers among students.

     KDU Penang Launched Christmas Donation to Charity Organisations
     Due to the overwhelming response, members of the Engineering Society of KDU Penang again
     held a charity event called Rudolph’s Shoebox to celebrate Christmas last year. Rudolph’s Shoebox
     encouraged students and staff to place gifts around the Christmas tree at the foyer. The gifts were
     donated to Kechara Soup Kitchen Penang and St Joseph’s Home Penang.
     The Engineering Society also raised funds for both charities to help them get some extra cash for
     the holiday season. The Christmas tree and Snowman built with recycled plastic cups remained at
     the foyer until the end of the year.

     Community Service Accompanied by Fun and Games!
     Twenty students from KDU Penang were involved in the Community Service of International
     Scout Exchange Program for Chung Ling High School Penang and Zhonghua Secondary School
     Singapore. Lead by Ms Ng Fong Chiu, senior lecturer of the Department of Computing, the event
     saw about 80 students participating in the project.

     Staff Development Programme for SMJK Chung Ling
     KDU Penang’s senior lecturers from the School of Engineering, Computing and Built Environment
     conducted a staff development programme for 200 staff members (academic and nonacademic)
     from SMJK Chung Ling on the campus. Topics covered included “The Flipped Classroom and
     Instructional Video-Developing Using SOM” by Ms Ng Fong Chiu and Ms Tan Mei Hooi.

     Hand-in-Hand for Penang Flood Victims
     Students and staff from KDU Penang collaborated with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to help
     victims when massive floods hit Penang in early November 2017.
     The Student Service Department (SSD) set up a donation box to collect essential items, money and
     cleaning accessories. Together, they cleaned KDU Penang’s lecturer Mr Saravanan Maniam’s house
     in Bukit Mertajam, which was inundated.
     Another team of 20 KDU Penang students helped prepare food and packed essential items for
     victims at Dewan Besar, Sungai Dua.

student’s creativity and innovation through access to real-world
design opportunities,” he said in his speech.

The Echo of Dristhi
Chi Yu Qian

Enough with night life haunts and unhealthy
entertainment centres. Better to find calm through yoga.

A final year student of KDU Penang University College
pursuing her diploma in creative media design offered
a wholesome paradigm shift when she embarked on a
project idea that turns an entertainment centre into a
yoga centre integrated with cafes and parks.

“I came out with an idea of a huge transformation of an
original entertainment space into a calming yoga centre,”
said Chi Yu Qian. “These days, working adults tend to be
overstressed and find ways to release their tensions at
clubs and bars till past midnight,” she added.

Chi had a vision in which her yoga centre would be
equipped with yoga elements, a café and parks where
people can socialise while adopting a healthy lifestyle.

“I usually get inspiration from my daily life because
the design is just all about everything around us,” she
expressed.

Chi was among 16 students who showcased their final
year projects in the A.G.E Final Year Exhibition held on
Aug 24, 2018, in First Avenue Mall. This is the finale for
the students, who were pursuing their Diploma in Interior
Design or Diploma in Creative Media Design.

KDU ALUMNI
KDU believes that people should learn more from people and not just from books.
Here at KDU Penang University College, not only is that practised, but people also celebrate the inspiration they bring to each
other.

                                          I still remember the first day I stepped into college on a Monday morning, realising a
                                          new path of my life would begin. Time passed in the glimpse of an eye and 2 years went
                                          by. Now, I am looking forward to attending the first lecture of my degree in BA (Hons) in
                                          Interior Architecture.
                                          I learned useful tips and knowledge from highly skilled lecturers and, of course, hard
                                          work and the determination to learn helped a lot in developing a better me. Learning
                                          will always be much more fun and easy with the help of lecturers and tutors who share
                                          their knowledge and experience with us young interior designers.
                                          In the second semester, we had 2 main core design subjects, Interior Design Studio
                                          1: Interior Architecture and Design Studio 2: Computer Aided Design Visualisation. We
                                          learned new design software and new methods of presenting our projects to clients by
                                          utilising Virtual Reality (VR) and barcode scanners. By using these technologies and
                                          a new way of presenting our projects with a 360-degree view, we managed to amaze
                                          architects from Paramount Property who came for our final presentation.
                                          Now I truly hoped to complete my degree with flying colours and good reviews to face
                                          the future working industry. I am looking forward to the next few remaining semesters
JOHN POH                                  and will continue to work harder than ever to achieve my dreams and make everyone
                                          proud.
Alumni of Diploma in Interior Design
2nd Year Student of
B. Arts (Hons) in Interior Architecture

                                          I am an Interior Designer from Penang who recently completed my diploma course in
                                          KDU Penang University College. Throughout my years studying, not only did I enhance
                                          myself as an interior designer, but I also gained many precious memories and came
                                          across different kinds of people.
                                          I started my life in KDU Penang UC in January, 2015, with just a handful of classmates.
                                          The first semester passed uneventfully but on my second semester, I met many new
                                          people from the March 2015 intake. Slowly but surely, I was making new friends.
                                          We once had a task given by our lecturer to work as a team to decorate an event’s
                                          backdrop. It was like a bonding session for us to get to know one another but surely,
                                          arguments were inevitable. It made us grow and learn to respect each other. From that
                                          point onwards, I gained confidence and close friends. That was the true beginning of my
                                          life in KDU Penang UC.
                                          The memories we shared and the bonds we made allowed me to improve myself as a
                                          person. KDU Penang UC changed an introverted person like me. I left my comfort zone
                                          and embraced challenges. One of the most memorable experiences was being a curator
                                          for our final year exhibition in 2017, M.A.D.E. Being in a spot where you must balance
                                          the need to get good grades with the desire to organise the event successfully was
YEAP WEI TING
                                          certainly tiring yet fulfilling. I’m glad that my life in KDU Penang’s Department of Built
Alumni of Diploma in Interior Design      Environment was a fun and fulfilling one. Currently, I am looking forward to furthering my
Best Student for 2017                     studies once again in KDU Penang UC, in which I hope to experience another exciting
                                          time.
