Arshad expressed gratitude for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari’s commitment to improving Unisel facilities.

Arshad also expressed congratulations to graduates, saying they must consistently pursue excellence in their future careers.
“Become a proactive younger generation and be ready to change your behaviour and mind(sets) to achieve better success in your next stage of life,” he said.
