Students Need To Take Up Entreprenuership

Arau, May 24 - Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Dato 'Prof. Dr. Zul Azhar Zahid Jamal urged students to be involved in entrepreneurship even while still studying at university.

"University students are the backbone in driving entrepreneurship which is a sector that will help the nation’s economy in the future.

"In fact, the Ministry of Education (MOE) had also targeted that at least five percent of students that are still in the education system should be active in entrepreneurship.

"This is to produce entrepreneurs and technopreneurs when they graduate," he said while officiating the 2017 Women Entrepreneurship Forum and Exhibitions at the Dewan Kecemerlangan UniMAP, recently.

He hoped that their interest in entrepreneurship will continue to flourish and will be beneficial to them, their family, community and country in the future.

Among those who were present as the guest panels of the one day forum are The founder of De Riche Lurve Sdn Bhd, Sharifah Ngadiron; the Chief Executive Officer of Modvier, Siti Sarah Shah Nor; the founder of Vida Beauty Sdn. Bhd. Dato 'Seri Dr. Hasmiza Othman, better known as Dato 'Seri Vida; and the Icon for Muslim entrepreneur, CEO for Sam Beautilogy Lab Sdn. Bhd. and Profit Magnet Sdn. Bhd.
