Closing Day of Phase I in ABI
It has already been 4 months gone by. How time flies indeed.
The second batch of BIDP students in ABI Serdang has come to their own
“Closing”, on the 31st December 2013.
The mood around was generally moody to begin with, as it was
New Year’s eve. But it got better as they got excited about finishing the first
phase of the program. It got even better
as the VIPs came, namely from TalentCorp Malaysia, and the events started.
The day’s event started with the recap of the training
program’s objectives in Phase I by Dr Leong Chuei Wuei, a time to look back and
remember why the training was started and also the reasons for the trainees
attending. But more importantly, what have the trainees gained and obtained
from all the months of theory and practical sessions.
Next was a time of seriousness by En Azhar Amin, looking
back at the post assessment results for all the modules in Phase I. For those
who unfortunately failed some modules, they would have had a time of learning
why they did so and also how they can do better or understand better the
subjects.
After a brief tea break, the day’s event continued with the
presentations by each trainee on their company’s profiles and/or the projects
they are involved in. The majority of the crowd was from Biocon and they had
presentations in pairs. Since there were so many of them, the presentations
continued after lunch.
The fun time that the participants had from their time at
the Children’s Home in Petaling Jaya were recollected through a session by
Steven Ng from Dream Catcher. We do hope that the spirit of sharing with
children the joys of science will remain in the participants and continue to
grow with time as they go into the working world.
Agilent Technologies Malaysia representative Ms Khairul
Azreena had a session of introducing Agilent Technologies Malaysia to the participants
as an eye opener to what Agilent does. After that, the
certificate presentations were done and many pictures were taken in memory of
the whole day.
The participants wore happy smiles as they left the
premises, some even had tears in their eyes!

They will have a month’s break before coming back for the
Phase 2 in the same place. We hope that they will be ready and refreshed when
they do return. Meanwhile, we do wish them all the very best for whatever their
projects may be in their work places!
