International Recognition

Written by : Syazril Izwan bin Ahmad

As you readers out there might be aware, Universiti Tenaga Nasional (a.k.a. Uniten) prestigious awards, from local to international, over the past 3 years. However, the one that got my attention is the International Standard Quality(ISQ) Award 2011. The award was presented to Yg. Berbahagia Dato Seri Prof. Mashkuri Yaacob(Vice Chancellor of Uniten) at a ceremony at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Thus, Uniten has been bestowed the award for Quality College and University. Now you guys out there might be wondering, "Eh, so what?".

Well, just so you know, this particular award is given by the European Union Analysis Alliance(EUAA), an organization whose aim is to build an economic alliance with other nations, in this case ASEAN

countries. What this means is that Uniten has been recognized by the European Union as a top quality university not only in Malaysia but in other countries as well. This shows that despite being a private university (with strangely little recognition among local youths nowadays), Uniten has proved once again it has the potential to show itself to the world that it continues to generate quality education and well, professionals (pun intended : P) and hopefully will continue to do so for years to come.

This is Syazril, signing off.
