Sultan Pahang’s Brother conferred with UMP Lifelong Professional Learning Award

Despite being a busy businessman and serving as Commanding Officer of the First Battalion 505 Territorial Army Regiment, it did not stop Lieutenant Colonel Tengku Dato’ Sri Kamarulzaman Al-Haj Ibni AlMarhum Sultan Sir Abu Bakar from continuing to pursue an Executive Masters’ Degree in Project Management in Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP).

The Regent of Pahang and UMP Chancellor, His Royal Highness Tengku Mahkota Tengku Abdullah Al-Haj Ibni Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta’in Billah presented the scroll to Lieutenant Colonel Tengku Dato’ Sri Kamarulzaman during the university’s 13th convocation ceremony that was held at UMP Gambang Campus on November 10 and 11, 2018.

Lieutenant Colonel Tengku Dato’ Sri Kamarulzaman, who is the younger brother of Sultan of Pahang, said he planned to continue his studies at the doctorate level and advised young people to seek knowledge so they could improve their skills and themselves, and their careers too.

Another recipient of the same award was Kumaran s/o Alagamuthu Nadar, a graduate of Executive Masters’ in Safety, Health and Environment. He now works as a manager at Daya CMT Sdn. Bhd. 

Kumaran said discipline and effective time management were top on his list in order to achieve excellence.

“I believe that if we have good discipline, it would shape us into being excellent people. We can attain the success that we have always wanted.

“The experience of seeking knowledge in UMP will be a pleasant memory because we have study groups and hold discussions among us. The lecturers are also accomplished professionals.

“My hope is that one day I will get to be a Professor and train more graduates in this field,” he added.

He also said that he had not expected to receive the award, given to a graduate of UMP Advanced Education, adding, those who were working should be given the opportunity to improve themselves and enhance their skills.

“Even working adults, housewives and senior citizens who wished to make their own contributions to the country need to improve and diversify their skills,” he added.
