Nation Needs Well-rounded Graduates To Drive Positive Change - Tuanku Aishah Rohani
NILAI, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- The country must produce well-rounded graduates who are not only academically competent but also possess strong moral values and the ability to lead positive change in society.
The Tunku Ampuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Aishah Rohani Tengku Besar Mahmud, said universities should go beyond imparting knowledge and awarding degrees to nurture well-rounded individuals with strong moral character.
“In an increasingly challenging world, academic knowledge alone is not enough. We need graduates who possess critical thinking skills, empathy and integrity, and are capable of driving meaningful change.
“I am confident that the knowledge and guidance you have received at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) will enable you to become future leaders with high aspirations, compassion for the people and a firm commitment to truth,” she said at the 24th USIM Convocation Ceremony here today.
Tunku Panglima Besar Tunku Zain Al-‘Abidin Tuanku Muhriz, who is also USIM Pro-Chancellor, was in attendance.
Also present were USIM Pro-Chancellor Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar and Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Ts Dr Sharifudin Md Shaarani.
Tuanku Aishah Rohani, who is also USIM Chancellor, reminded graduates that their responsibilities extended beyond earning a degree, urging them to serve as ambassadors of Islamic values wherever they go.
Her Royal Highness also congratulated Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Hussain, who was conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Da’wah and Islamic Management, and Professor Technologist Dr Norita Md Norwawi, who was awarded the title of Professor Emerita.
She said their contributions had helped strengthen USIM's international standing as a respected institution committed to integrating Naqli (revealed) and Aqli (rational) knowledge.
Tuanku Aishah Rohani also conveyed her congratulations to the bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree recipients and prayed for their continued success in contributing to society and the nation.
A total of 3,363 graduates are receiving their scrolls at USIM's 24th Convocation Ceremony, which runs from today until Nov 6 at Dewan Tuanku Canselor.
They comprise 2,709 bachelor's degree recipients and 654 graduates of postgraduate diploma, master's and doctoral programmes.
