An institution that exists as a beacon of hope for aspirational individuals from diverse backgrounds, providing the brightest paths to achieving goals and success.

I ventured into the great field of higher education over thirty years ago, coming from the corporate and accounting spheres, and watched how the walls and space of this institution expanded over the years, creating significant impacts on many individuals and families around the Klang Valley and beyond, empowering them to realise their dreams, evolving as individuals, and developing great friendships.

As a passionate educator who has witnessed the transformation in the education field, I actively collaborate with our Peninsula community, bringing the best for youth like you, who will serve and develop our nation tomorrow.
