From Negeri Sembilan
Why are you interested to be in Student Representative Council?
I want to show that normal students can become a leader and can fulfil the interests and demands of others. As a student, he must have a mechanism or a platform to be a leader and to be chosen to sit in the SRC is part of that platform.
What is your strategy that differentiates you from other candidates?
I want to unite all six Human Sciences departments including the department of Bachelor of English and Literature whenever they have an activity or event. I want to create a sports carnival for all Human Sciences departments to participate in and compete against one another. Through this mechanism, all Human Sciences departments will know each other even though they are from different departments.
Are you confident of winning this election?
We all have equal chances and opportunities, it depends on the students themselves who they want to vote for. What I want to stress is that what we offer can satisfy all students and let them experience the actual life on campus.
What experience do you have so that we can trust your capability?
I had experience joining Yayasan Dakwah SeMalaysia and Historium. I learnt many things through joining society and my hope is that all other students experience like what I had experienced because students have the potential to do all kinds of things but they dont get a chance due to not having a suitable platform to do it.
Any last word for student and other candidates?
I hope other candidates succeed and do the best to win. And I hope the election is about number so I hope all students are going for voting because it is related with their future and we as candidates only can offer what we can do and it depends on them who do they want to vote.
