Lim Wei Chih, a Year One student of the Advanced Diploma in Commerce (Financial Accounting) did the College proud by achieving a “double” win; clinching the Top Prize of RM 2,300 cash and winning the ‘Most Creative’ Presentation in an inter-varsity competition based on simulated tax case studies organized by Deloitte; a reputable international tax management consultancy group.

The Competition was set in stages and our student breezed through the initial stages where he answered multiple choice questions and did a presentation on “Badges of Trade” in the taxation topic. He was picked as one of top 5 finalists selected for the final competition.

Lim Wei Chih recalled the unforgettable moments in the final event..
“For the actual competition, we were given 2 hours to finish a report and prepare our presentation slides. It was quite a rush to finish both report and slides in such a short time. Then, each participant was given 15 minutes to present and I was being drawn to be the 2nd presenter. At the end of my presentation, I was grilled by the judges and after that, I was just relieved that everything was over.”

When being interviewed after the win, a beaming and happy Lim Wei Chih thanked his lecturers Mr Michael, Mr Chong and Ms Geh for their support and encouragement. He added “To succeed in a competition, I believe that the most important thing is to believe in one’s own abilities and not to be fazed by the obstacles along the way”. This is a sound piece of advice for our students and indeed, has helped Wei Chih to secure the bonus of a double win.

We congratulate Lim Wei Chih on his achievements and for putting our College on the victory map.

The champion, Lim Wei Chih, with Advisors, Mr. Chong Geok Chuang and
Mr Michael Yeo.
