Amirul Ariff Takes Gold at UTP Tennis Close

By Marc Raphael, PE 1st/2nd

Tronoh, 23th November – “I never thought I could actually win the tournament!” This is what Amirul Ariff bin Sazali (CE, 2nd Year, 2nd Sem) had to say of his triumph in the recent UTP Tennis Close Championship. The event, which saw a healthy number of participants this year, was organised by Sekretariat Rakan Muda, and held at UTP tennis courts on the 22nd and 23rd of November.

Amirul, whose preparation for the tournament was constantly being disrupted by unfavourable weather conditions, expressed immense surprise at his victory, and thanked God for his achievement. He was also delighted at being able to gain revenge over his fellow finalist Mohd Zulkarnain B. Hashim, who knocked him out in last year’s semi-finals.  “My opponent in the final is an extremely good player.  Alhamdulillah, thanks to God, after playing under the burning hot sun I managed to beat him,” said Amirul.

In the women’s category, it was newcomer Syazwani binti Mohd Ali (ME, 1st Year, 1st Sem) who emerged as champion, beating Wan Nooraishah binti Wan Abdul Kadir (CV, 1st Year, 1st Sem) in the final. Syazwani (Syaza), who only enrolled here at UTP back in September, was just as surprised at her win: “I wasn't expecting the victory at all since all the players have played really well during the tournament!” Like Amirul, Syaza only began training a week prior to the event, which explained why the victory exceeded her expectations.

When asked if they would be returning to defend their titles, both champions expressed their eagerness to do just that, with Amirul hoping he won’t be too busy in his 3rd Year to prepare for next year’s tournament.

Unfortunately, not everyone went home a winner that day. For some, it was simply a learning experience. Vincent Koh (CE, 1st Year, 1st Sem) and Cedric Lemuel Lee (CE, 2nd Year, 2nd Sem), teaming up for the doubles event, lost all their matches but were still happy to have participated. “Next year we’ll be champs!” said Vincent, who tells us that his partnership with Cedric is still new, and will take time to develop into a force to be reckoned with. That’s the spirit guys!

Event organising committee member Khairil Anwar Bn. Muhajir (2nd Year, 2nd Sem) told HOT that there’s talk of an official UTP Tennis Club on the way soon. According to Khairil, rumour has it that Block B (a reference to the co-curriculum department) is looking to establish some new sports clubs, as the new Vice-Chancellor is apparently a sports-lover himself. Are there some exciting changes in store for sports fans here at UTP? We’ll just have to wait to see!

IM Nole sweeps top prizes at National Rapid and Blitz 2012

By Marc Raphael, PE 1st/2nd

Tronoh, 18^th November- It was a day of few surprises at UTP’s Multi-Purpose Hall, venue to the National Rapid & Blitz Chess Championships held on the 17^th and 18^th of November. The tournament’s highest rated participant, Pilipino player Rolando Nole (International Master) bagged first place in the Open category for both the Rapid and Blitz tournaments, with his compatriot and fellow tournament favourite Ian Udani finishing just behind him in both events. Nole, the only player that day with the coveted chess title of International Master (IM), left with total winnings of RM1500.

UTP’s very own Cedric Lemuel Lee (CE, 1^st Year, 2^nd Sem) completed his first ever Open tournament with a respectable 3.5 points from a possible 8 in each event, taking home a special award for best UTP player. It was a considerable feat for the relaxed and jovial 19-year-old, as he was competing against experienced professional chess players. He had this to say of his small but meaningful triumph: “It’s pretty cool la. I really didn’t have anywhere else to spend my 60 bucks, so I took part, and now I’m UTP’s top player! Haha.” Cedric is a former district player from the state of Johor.

It was also a memorable day for young chess prodigy Jagathees Guna Balan, who produced a remarkable performance for someone his age in an Open event, finishing with 5 points in the Rapid tournament. Jagathees, whose father is a full time chess coach, is no stranger to overachieving in the chess arena, having previously represented Malaysia in the World Youth U-8 Championships, with his name also recorded in the Malaysian Book of Records for his exploits in simultaneous chess. His proud father, Mr Guna Balan, said he entered his son into the event because he believed Jagathees was ripe for this kind of exposure (in an Open event), having already won everything there is to win in his age group. Undoubtedly, young Jagathees Guna Balan is a name to start looking out for in the Malaysia chess scene.

Event organising committee member Lee Weng Soon (CE 1^st Year, 2^nd Sem) says that this is the first time UTP has organised a FIDE rated (tournaments recognised by international chess body FIDE, where players may improve their universal FIDE ratings with strong performances in the tournament) event. This year also marks the introduction of the Blitz format tournament, with previous UTP events having only been in Rapid format. The event was jointly organised by UTP Chess Dragon, Fundamental and Applied Science Student Ambassadors (FASSA), Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF), Persatuan Catur Negeri Perak (PICA), and Jabatan Belia Dan Sukan Negeri Perak.

Full standings for all age groups in both tournament categories and further information regarding the tournament can be obtained from the event website: www.nrbcc2012.blogspot.com.

Datuk Zainal Bids Farewell To Students With Parting Advice

Tronoh, 29^th October – After 7 ½ years at the helm of the university’s administration, it was time for outgoing Vice Chancellor Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Hj Kasim to make his last live address to students of UTP. Datuk Zainal Abidin was invited to share his experiences while on his long road to success at an event entitled “The Leadership Journey – My Experience”, held at Undercroft recently. Entry to the sharing session, a joint initiative by Rakan Masjid and MPPUTP, was open to all.

The VC cut a figure of humility and calmness as he made his unceremonious entry to Seminar room 7, going straight for the microphone, evidently not expecting any formalities to be observed on his account. The casually dressed VC began his speech by providing some background information on his education and also his career at Petronas, a company he has been attached to for 36 years. The audience, comprising students from all faculties and academic years, were constantly in stitches listening to the VC’s amusing anecdotes and impromptu humour. For many of those in attendance, this was a comedic side to the VC that they had never witnessed before. For S.Kesavarthiny (PE, 1^st Sem), the experience altered her view of the VC entirely. “I’ve always thought of him as a serious and quiet man. He’s actually a really funny guy! He gives very practical advice too!” said Kesavarthiny, who has been a student here since September.

As he went along, Datuk Zainal offered more details of his personal life, including photographs of his childhood and schooling years at Malay College Kuala Kangsar, of which Datuk Zainal is a proud alumnus. At this point he expressed his unhappiness with the severe lack of racial integration he observes here on campus, something that was never a problem during his time as a student. The VC also talked about the sacrifices he has made to arrive at where he is today, including having to spend a year away from his wife soon after marriage to complete his Masters. Datuk Dr Zainal is now a PhD holder, having completed his doctorate in Paris. Other topics touched on by the VC were how to deal with failure and on being a good leader. According to Datuk Dr Zainal, “The essence of good leadership is one’s character” and “It is not what you say, but what people hear that matters”.

After he was done, Datuk Dr Zainal began to take questions from the audience. When asked what his aspirations were for the future of the university, he humorously commented, “There are too many black-haired people here. I want to see more blondes!” to which he received an exuberant reaction from the crowd.  He went on to clarify that he meant that he hopes the university will one day begin to attract students from developed nations and Western countries as well. During the Q&A session, some senior students took the opportunity to express their long-standing admiration for Datuk Zainal and their regret at his retirement.

The event drew to a close with a short video montage prepared by Rakan Masjid, preceded by a gift-giving ceremony in which various organisations and clubs presented their tokens of appreciation to Datuk Zainal.
