Talking his way to the top

Gift of the gab: Ahmad Irfan was clearly the favourite for he not only spoke with conviction but laced his speech with some humour.

HIS creative style and presentation on the common traits of all successful people was what made Ahmad Irfan Jawahar Ali triumph at a public speaking competition. It was their ability to take on risks and their determination to move on that made successful people shine, said the 16-year-old when he spoke on the topic: Traits of a Successful Individual. It also centred on his personal experiences as a teenager that made him the clear and unanimous winner at the competition held at Sunway College.

The Form Four student of SMK Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, won himself a cash prize of RM600, full tuition fee waiver for any pre-university programme at Sunway College and a trophy.
