𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬: 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗸 𝗦𝘆𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻, 𝗣𝗵𝗗 (𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁) In early February 2023, Professor Dr. Jegak Uli and I visited the Alumni Association of UPM Serdang to discuss the formation of the UPM Sarawak Chapter of the Alumni Association. On arrival, I noticed the sign for Putra Business School (PBS) and remarked to Professor Dr. Jegak, “I was pleasantly surprised to discover that such a distinguished business school existed at Serdang.” This sparked my interest, and I thought it would undoubtedly be a prestigious, government-accredited institution where I could enrol in a PhD program. I spoke with Prof. Datuk Dr Mad Nasir Shamsudin FASc about joining PBS and submitted my proposal. I was subsequently invited to a PhD orientation on March 6 and an interview on March 7, leading to my acceptance as a PhD candidate. Pursuing a PhD in Management at PBS felt like an academic choice, as UPM is my alma mater and is renowned for its academic excellence in my research field. I find it challenging to pinpoint the single most enjoyable aspect of my studies at PBS. Studying at PBS was a fulfilling journey. I enjoyed studying alongside international students from China, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and across Malaysia. I particularly enjoyed the in-class presentations of our assignments. These sessions fostered serious discussions, and after each presentation, we would share hearty laughs and support one another. Lively discussions and lunches with lecturers created camaraderie and further enriched my experience. As a member of the older generation, my initial challenge was learning to use computer programs. At first, I struggled to utilise these tools for my class assignments. Occasionally, I sought assistance from my colleagues, but I remained determined to work on my assignments independently, gradually enhancing my skills. The next hurdle was grasping research methodology since it required extensive reading to identify the appropriate approach for conducting research. However, through determination and diligence, I overcame these obstacles and successfully prepared my thesis in accordance with PBS requirements. I was driven to obtain an academic qualification by embracing the full rigours of being a full-time student. I needed to attend classes to gain an authentic academic experience. I have always believed in my determination, assertiveness, and confidence to achieve my ambitions. This journey has provided me with immense personal fulfilment and academic success, fuelling my enthusiasm for what lies ahead. Ultimately, I have attained the academic recognition I have long sought. PBS students must maintain a focused determination to succeed in their studies. Collaborating closely with members of the supervisory committee is essential for seeking appropriate guidance throughout the journey. Finally, I would like to put on record my heartfelt appreciation to Prof. Datuk Dr Mad Nasir Shamsudin, as well as my co-supervisors, Dr. Ahmad Hanis Izani Abdul Hadi and Dr. Risidaxshinni Kumarusamy. Their unwavering support and dedication were instrumental in guiding me through my PhD journey in Management at Putra Business School, Universiti Putra Malaysia. I also want to extend my thanks to Associate Professor Dr. Devika, who taught me Research Methodology. Her guidance was crucial and enabled me to conduct my research effectively. I am grateful to everyone who played a part in my academic success. I want to place my heartfelt appreciation for Madam Nor Iylia Juainy, who had always been incredibly approachable, offering thoughtful advice on guiding the requirements for PhD studies. From the moment I joined, I felt right at home with the team. Their genuine support really made my experience much more enjoyable and meaningful.
