Marsya, the second of three siblings, is now stepping into university life after completing her diploma studies.

She began her academic journey by enrolling in the Diploma in Construction Engineering Technology (Green Building) at Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi MARA (KKTM) Sri Gading, where she achieved an outstanding CGPA of 3.98.

“I aspire to contribute significantly to the country when I enter the workforce one day.

“I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my mother, who has always given me unwavering support, as well as my sister, younger sibling, grandfather, and grandmother, who have always been by my side.

“Thank you also to UMPSA for giving me the opportunity to be part of this institution,” she said.

She further added that without the sacrifices of her late father, she would not have been able to be where she is today.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dr. Yatimah Alias, also took the time to meet Marsya during the new student registration session and offered words of encouragement.

May Marsya’s academic journey at UMPSA be a successful one, inspiring the younger generation to continue pursuing their dreams.
