A day to be remembered

It was Fathers’ Day on that particular Sunday, also one of the proudest moments for the fathers of the graduates of TOC.

It was TOC’s fourth batch of graduates, this time churning out a total of 238 graduates, with 172 of them in attendance.

This annual prestigious event was held at the Sunway Lagoon Ballroom. Students started arriving in the morning for registration as well as preparation for rehearsal. Parents joined their children shortly before the event started.

The MCs for the day - the charming Mr Farid and the beautiful Ms Nina

The guest of honour this year is Ir. Iain Seymour Hart, the Head of Department of Transport Technology from TOC’s university partner from New Zealand, Unitec Institute of Technology. It was not an easy journey for Mr Iain to Malaysia – given that many of the flights from New Zealand was grounded due to the volcanic ash from Chile’s volcanic eruption from the previous week. Thank you Mr Iain for trying so hard to make it to the graduation! Also in attendance this year for the first time ever, was Jeanette Taylor, the general manager of TOC Australia.

Every year, TOC selects 5 of its most promising students, in terms of results and curricular activities.

This year’s Outstanding Award Achievers are:

Sulaiman Shah Bin Shaik Halauddin, Sachin Raj Shakya, Yong Jenn Yoong, Lim Choon Peng, and last but not least Mochammad Ikhsan Utama.

TOC's 2011 Outstanding Achievers

The Outstanding Award Achievers each received a certificate from the college in recognition of their accomplishment, a trophy sponsored by Proton Holdings Berhad, a 6-month training package from Sime Darby Motor Division Sdn. Bhd. and MOMO steering wheels from Bombshelter Studios.

Overall, the event went well and on schedule.

In closing, Ms. Adelaine Foo, the CEO of The Otomotif College, quoted the wise words of Jason Mraz, “Live, High, Live Mighty, Live Righteously” – a message to all our graduates reminding them to always keep their two feet firmly on the ground even after achieving great success.
