UKM’s 38th Convocation

I have just returned home from the 4th Session of UKM’s 38th Convocation. I witnessed 666 FSSK undergraduates receiving their scrolls from the Pro-Chancellor. The ceremony commenced at 2.00pm and ended at about 5.30pm.

I take this opportunity to wish them, especially my former Communication students, all the best in their future undertakings!
