Datuk Seri Dr Sabin Samitah entered UKM with dreams of working towards a better future.
As a young lad from a rural area of Sabah, I was very hopeful entering UKM – hopeful for better access to education, to improve myself, and contribute to the community when the time came. I had big dreams of opportunities to prove that my background would not hinder me from being successful in the future.
I was a very social student. I represented my faculty in football, and I was active in the Student Council. One of my best moments was meeting then-Deputy Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Tan Sri Dr Mohamed Yusof Mohamed Noor, to voice our grievances about the lack of campus facilities and the issues surrounding student welfare. It was a rare opportunity that helped shape my leadership and communication skills.
