“I started job hunting even before graduation and fortunately found one at Mewah Oleo Industries, which is a palm oil refinery company in Johore, just before graduation day.

“What do I cherish most about my university experience? I think the many friends I made was the most important aspect of my experience. I was involved in various student organisations like the VAD57, Curtin Bowling Club and Curtin Volunteers!. It was a wonderful experience being able to organise and participate in activities and making lots of friends and acquaintances.

“My advice to current students is strike a good balance between your studies and leisure, and most importantly, take the opportunity to interact with all sorts of people in your university life. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience and you should make the most of it.” –Yap Zhe Yang, Chemical Engineering graduate
