Popular Malaysian actor Adi Putra, who portrayed the legendary Malay warrior Mat Kilau in the hit movie Mat Kilau reminded graduating students that their real education begins when they enter the working world, which is fraught with obstacles and challenges, to pursue their dreams and careers.

Addressing some 182 International College of Management and Sports (ICMS) students at their graduation ceremony at ICMS in Petaling Jaya on Saturday (July 27), the actor who also made a name for himself in the KL Gangster series of movies, recalled receiving painful criticism early in his career when some film directors told him he could not act.
