A 22-year-old student received Universiti Tun Abdul Razak’s (UniRazak) highest honours for her outstanding academic performance.
The importance of equal opportunities at education regardless of the socio-economic status of an individual can make all the difference in the world. An underprivileged person has to have the same opportunity at education as a person who can afford to attend an expensive school.

The award was presented to her by UniRazak's Chancellor Tun Dr Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid during the 16th Convocation Ceremony on Saturday, November 5th.
