Sheng Chuang with his Medallion of Excellence after the conclusion of the 12th WorldSkills ASEAN Bangkok 2018 in Thailand.
TAR UC student Wong Sheng Chuang demonstrated excellent skills and knowledge at the 12th WorldSkills ASEAN Bangkok 2018 in Thailand from 31 August – 2 September 2018 to claim the much coveted Medallion of Excellence award in the Web Design and Development category.
Held biennially, the competition aims to promote and elevate skills standards in the ASEAN region, as well as to recognise highly skilled youths for their work excellence that complies with international standards.
In the Web Design and Development category, Sheng Chuang, who recently completed his Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) in Internet Technology, went up against 13 other participants from seven countries en route to his accomplishment.
“It was not an easy journey because I needed to be familiar with the different modules in order to solve the problems in the competition. Adaptability is also very important to keep up with any change that might occur days before and during the competition.
“But I was blessed with lecturers and tutors who equipped me with the fundamental knowledge throughout my academic journey at TAR UC to prepare well and earn this result,” he said.
Sheng Chuang, who was also the Gold Medal winner at the WorldSkills Malaysia Belia 2017 competition, said a lifelong learning attitude is needed if students want to achieve success like he did.
“An effort to learn is key to growth, which in turn will open up endless possibilities in life,” he advised.
