KUANTAN, 17 March 2022 – “This Convocation Ceremony meant so much to me that I was able to receive this degree together with my beloved wife.

Fat-hi, who was present with his wife, Nur Fatihah Abd. Nassir, said when recalling the first time he met his wife, they started to get acquainted while studying at the Faculty of Civil Engineering Technology (FTKA).

“At that time, his wife often contacted him especially to ask about matters related to faculty associations.

“That was when we started to be friends and decided to continue this relationship until we tied the knot.

“This wish also had the blessings of both our families and we agreed to study hard to achieve success,” he said.

“Alhamdulillah, this wish was fulfilled when we successfully obtained the desired degrees.

“My wife received a degree in Bachelor of Civil Engineering while I received a Master of Science.

“Further, we are also already working in our respective fields and we hope to continue to succeed in achieving our ambitions,” he said.
