“First, attend courses related to oil and gas because most companies in that sector require specific certifications. Learn to speak English — even basic is enough. Work hard, because Malaysians are known for their dedication. And your resume doesn’t have to look impressive — it just needs to be detailed. Send it to as many companies as possible. You never know which door will open.”
“You need to have a deep interest in welding. Without it, everything else falls apart.”
“Start with welding steel today, and tomorrow you could be managing major projects in construction, oil and gas, or shipbuilding. The world of welding is wide, bro.”
“Jangan takut pergi jauh. Kalau skill kau solid, mana-mana pun boleh pergi. Korea ke, Jepun ke — peluang tu ada untuk orang yang berani ambil langkah.”
“To VETA students who want to succeed — don’t give up on learning. The fatigue, the scoldings — that’s all normal, as long as you keep putting in the effort. Do your best. Ask your parents to pray for you. Make them proud. What matters most is effort and dua. All the best to everyone. 🤍”
