DS R O IS SW R’ O A DV Dear Reader, It gives me great pleasure to pen down some notes in conjunction with the launching of the AIESEC @ UTP newsletter in August 2013. The newsletter is aimed at improving the communication by AIESEC to non-AIESEC for the purpose of providing the right perspectives of the society and with this newsletter, I hope the constraint faced by the AIESEC @ UTP could be overcome. I have always encouraged the management teams of AIESEC to continue attracting membership across nationalities given the multinational and multicultural societies within UTP. In my opinion, by having a rich composition of nationalities within the society, it will help in educating its member to understand and appreciate the various values and practices within various nations which ultimately will help in developing people with global perspective.. Throughout the 4 years since establishment of AIESEC at UTP, I have seen it growing significantly in many ways. From a handful of students having noble vision and working hard to attract additional members, they have now attained a commendable number of membership which comprised of students from various nations. More importantly, the fact that they have undertaken many activities which have high community values apart from the ability to engage international people coming from several countries of the world to participate, has always amazed me. Whenever I met them either as individual representing the management team of AIESEC @ UTP or during their activities, I constantly wonder on the high level of enthusiasm depicted by each of them as if they will be able to overcome whatever challenges thrown to them collectively as one. With such high energy constantly within them, I have the confidence that they will all go very far either as a person or as a society. My hope is that they will always have the humility and respect of people and continue to reflect on their achievements. building upon what they have succeeded today. It is going to be difficult given that they too have to give their commitment to their studies but I believe with the spirit and the wisdom in dividing their time wisely, they will be able to surprise many people in UTP with their achievements including me. My gratitude to UTP management whom have been very supportive throughout the four years in providing AISEC @ UTP with most of their request to undertake their activities. I hope this will continues and one of these days I believe the AIESEC @ UTP will repay back with their contribution and achievements in making UTP a brand for the future. Thank you.
