Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia: Determined to succeed


Johor Police Chief Comm Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay learnt about striving to bring about positive changes as a student at UKM.

I was extremely excited when I was offered the chance to pursue the Business Management degree programme at UKM. Not many STPM students had the privilege to go after their dreams at public institutions of higher learning as there were so few universities in the 1980s. The offer allowed me to chart my future, determine my career, and contribute to my family, society and nation.

Initially, I had doubts about being able to complete my course as mathematics was not my forte. Nevertheless, through perseverance and support from my lecturers and peers, I embraced the challenge. Since young, I had strongly believed in the principle that success can be attained with hard work, commitment and blessings. I was a “slow learner” and was only able to start reading at age 10. Since then, I have read voraciously.
