Award for their thoughtful responses to the competition’s
question and answer session. Ten other Pharmacy students
also received cash prizes for their outstanding academic
performances, including Mah Chain Chain for the Best
Graduate Award and Kang Ying Zhe for Best All-Round
Graduate. Monash and AbbVie have been in partnership since
2012 to provide education grants and awards to deserving
students. A multidisciplinary group of students placed first in The Grand
Challenge Hackathon, a competition organised by the Malaysia
Digital Economy Corporation. Business, IT and Engineering
undergraduates Kong Lip Yoong, John Goh Rengwu, Lam Hsien
Jin, Tan Wei Shen, Gabriel Derek Tan and Lim Yun Mun worked
on creating occupancy sensors for parking lots. These Internet
of Things sensors and system will conserve energy by dimming
