Excel Activity 1: ANNUAL RAMADAN ISLAMIC COMPETITION - 2022
I have participated in the Annual Ramadan Islamic Competition after I got to know about it through some of my friends. I filled up the form with my personal details and the category I was interested to participate in. The organizers were cooperative enough with fill me in with necessary details and requirements. The entry was absolutely free. I participated in the category no.3 - Islamic Singing. I love to sing Islamic song and this was my chance to give my best. So I prepared for it and made a video through my phone. Finally on 17th April I submitted my video. Then on 30th of April when the Prize giving ceremony happened, turns our I got the Second Prize in the Category! I was so happy. Since I wasn't present physically in Malaysia due to COVID-19, my crest and certificate was handed over to the authority for delivering to me whenever I come to Malaysia. It was such a great experience for me!
The graduate attributes that this event focused on were:
- Communication Skills: Communication skills were one of the graduate attributes the speaker has focused on because we need better communication skills for a a happy work environment and better outcome of life.
- Adaptability: Adaptability was also one of the topics touched during the session for us to know that we must have the ability to work effectively under pressure because if we are not able to work effectively under pressure, we will be eliminated as we cannot do the job competently.
- Global Citizens: The speaker talked about Global Citizens too because we need to stay on top of current world issues to avoid being derailed from the world during work time.
Ramadan is a month of great spiritual renewal and devotion, during which Muslims devote more time to reading the Qur'an and performing special prayers.
