I just participated in sports activities to gain experience in handling the programme other than been selected to be former president of <em>mahallah<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0Uthman and representative of LAWSOC previously.<\/p>\n<p>\u0153Besides that, I want to do something outside the box and challenge myself because I am aware that I am not a good sportsman but I want to participate in activities I am interested in, but not all programmes that I joined I become a committee member. There were programmes that I just became the master of ceremony and as a reciter of <em>dua<\/em> but without these two things the ceremony is incomplete, right? By this award, I notice that the Sports Development Centre actually appreciated volunteers who have assisted them in the programme that had been organised,\u009d Syazwan said.<\/p>\n<p>This award giving ceremony was also attended by IIUM Rector, \u00c2\u00a0Prof. Dato&#8217; Sri Dr. Zaleha Kamarudin and Director of Sports Development Centre, Noor Kefli Md.Sulong.<\/p>\n<p>Syazwan said he was really inspired by the Directors speech because in his speech he said \u0153to be an excellent person we need to act like a successful man.&#8221; He said &#8220;we should not be arrogant but to show we are excellent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u0153For me, this is not only an inspiration to participate actively in organising the \u00c2\u00a0programme but it can be applied in academic too. For example, if we want to get into the Dean&#8217;s list, we must act like one to achieve it,\u009d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u0153In my opinion, I would encourage for the award to be carried out in future because it would help motivate the athletes, even though they are not good sportsmen, to actively participate in organising sports activities and always offer themselves to join sports programmes,&#8221; Syazwan added.***<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Najwa binti Mazlan GOMBAK, 5 April 2015: The 2014 IIUM Sports Award conferred Syazwan Muhsin Negara as the winner of Leadership Award 2014 organised&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"nelio_content":{"isAutoShareEnabled":true,"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"followers":[],"suggestedReferences":[],"efiUrl":"","efiAlt":"","highlights":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[]},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67493"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67493"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67726,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67493\/revisions\/67726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
