MMU celebrated a momentous chapter in its history during the 25th Convocation Ceremony, a landmark occasion that saw the conferment of the prestigious Honorary Doctorate of Management upon a royal couple for the first time ever. The Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, and The Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah Binti Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj, were honored for their exceptional leadership in administration and governance. Their steadfast dedication has significantly contributed to the nation’s stability and prosperity, even amidst numerous challenges during their reign.
MMU’s Chancellor, Tun Dato’ Seri Zaki Tun Azmi, conferred the degree in a ceremony witnessed by MMU’s President, Prof. Dato’ Dr. Mazliham Mohd Su’ud, during the first session of the convocation ceremony. The event was further distinguished by the presence of MMU’s Pro-Chancellor, YBhg. Academician Tan Sri Dr. Zakri Abdul Hamid, Mr. Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Telekom Malaysia (TM), as well as university representatives and special guests.
The university also announced its 12 top-performing graduates from the Class of 2024, who were honoured with the Chancellor’s Award, President’s Award, Best Postgraduate Research Award, and Permata Award. Muhammad Asif bin Shaik Saffaruddin, who graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) in Electronics, majoring in Telecommunications, and achieved a CGPA of 3.93, was named the recipient of the prestigious Chancellor’s Award. Meanwhile, the President’s Awards were presented to Ong Yong Xun, a graduate of the Bachelor of Accounting (Hons.); Abimanyu A/L Sivasankar, a graduate of the Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons.); and Teoh Sing Jian, a graduate of the Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons.) (Virtual Reality).
Another highlight of the ceremony was the graduation of 40 officers from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), who completed their Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees. They were part of the innovative Accelerated Leadership Programme Series (ALPs)—a collaborative initiative between MMU and MCMC. This program is designed to nurture high-potential talents and shape the next generation of digital leaders for the nation.
Throughout the convocation, Tun Dato’ Seri Zaki Tun Azmi and Academician Tan Sri Dr. Zakri Abdul Hamid conferred diplomas to 1,172 graduates, 2,141 bachelor’s degree recipients, and 344 postgraduate degree recipients.
