SEGi College Sarawak Students Awarded Dean’s List of Upper Iowa University, USA

Congratulations Kuek (right) and Lim (left) for your achievement

KUCHING: Ms. Allister Kuek Mong Yee and Mr. Lim Chiaw Soon from the American Degree Program (ADP) of SEGi College Sarawak  were recently awarded for their achievement in academics and received the Dean’s List award from Upper Iowa University, United States of America.

“I am very proud that I am able to get into the Dean’s List. Honestly, it is not an easy task to get into the Dean’s List as the requirement from UIU is high”, said Lim after receiving this award.

Apart from their academic achievements, Kuek and Lim are active in their respective clubs and societies where they were appointed as Club President. Kuek was Vice President of the Student Council of SEGi College Sarawak.

“Studying in ADP is quite challenging, but this motivates me to put more effort so that I can be an achiever. Although ADP is a challenging program, it still did not deter me to join other activities such as the Basketball Club and Bible Study Club. In my opinion, being exposed to various activities and also reading stimulated my mind and helped me to gain more knowledge”, said Lim.

When asked about how they are able to cope with both studies and other activities, Allister said that time management and self discipline are equally important to maintain balance between the two.

“A planner is the best tool, to keep everything listed and help me keep my activities within a time frame. When I play, I play hard; when I study, I study smart. ‘Nothing is impossible’ is my motto in life”, added Kuek.

“ADP is flexible and encourages students to participate in class activities, therefore it teaches students to be critical thinkers and to share their opinions. Plus, I can study this program locally without going to the States and graduate within 4 and a half years”, said Kuek when asked about her education path.

“In ADP, I have learnt how to think critically, learn to be independent and at the same time learn how to work together with people. After I graduate from ADP, I will still further my studies in both of my majors. Learning never ends”, said Lim

“To my juniors, learn as much as you can in ADP, and you will find that it helps a lot in your career. And that is the reason I choose ADP, as it exposes us to various fields and we can apply what we learnt”, added Lim.


Kuek and Lim are now working and will be attending their graduation ceremony in October 2013.  

Talk On Becoming a Barrister in the UK talk session by AAS @ SEGi College Sarawak

KUCHING: The Kuching Branch of the Advocate’s Association of Sarawak (AAS) will be holding a talk session at SEGi College Sarawak on Wednesday, 28th August 2013 at 2pm on the topic of becoming a barrister in the UK and some insights into the study of law there.


A panel of distinguished speakers will take to the stage to talk about this topic and answer questions from the audience. They are, Mr Patrick Maddams, Tan Sri James Foong and Datuk Seri Panglima Sulong bin Matjeraie.

Mr Patrick Maddams is currently the Sub-Treasurer of the Inner Temple, UK and is responsible for the day to day management of the Inner Temple. In England and Wales, the Inns of Court are unincorporated associations that date back to the 14th Century and play the important role of recruiting and training aspiring barristers. Together with the Bar Council and Bar Standards Board, the Inns of Court also perform supervisory and disciplinary functions over student members and hold the exclusive rights to call candidates to practise as barristers at the Bar of England and Wales.

Mr Maddams is placed in the best position to talk about entry requirements to the Inner Temple and will explain the process of training to become a barrister in the UK.

Datuk Seri Panglima Sulong bin Matjeraie is a retired Federal Court judge, the apex Court of Malaysia and has more than 30 years of legal and judicial experience. He was also appointed by the Prime Minister as one of the four eminent persons to serve on the Judicial Appointments Commission since February 2013. 

Datuk Seri Panglima Sulong Matjeraie served as a member of the Malaysian Judiciary for 15 years, commencing with this time as a High Court judge from 1988 to 2007; a Judge of the Court of Appeal Malaysia from 2007 to 2012 and a Federal Court Judge from 2012 until his retirement in January this year. He will share his insights into the lives of judges and the role of the judiciary in general in the administration of justice.

Tan Sri James Foong is also a retired Judge of the Federal Court of Malaysia having served in the Judiciary in the capacity as a High Court Judge from 1990 to 2005; as a Judge of the Court of Appeal Malaysia from 2005 – 2009 and a Federal Court Judge from 2005 until his retirement in 2012. During his time on the Bench, Tan Sri James Foong was also the presiding judge in the Bakun Dam and Highland Towers cases both of which received widespread attention from the media and legal commentators nationally and abroad. Tan Sri James Foong was also the Chairman of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the death of Teoh Beng Hock.

Tan Sri James Foong will talk about admissions to the University of West England in Bristol, UK and discuss with students their lives as international students abroad.

Having these distinguished speakers with high knowledge and vast experience in both the legal and judicial fields presents a rare and special opportunity for students and those interested to pursue a career in law to meet, hear and ask questions on the study of law in the UK as an international student. 

As an added advantage to their Law students, SEGi College Sarawak ensures their programmes deliver mostly UK syllabus as a precursor to the degree programme.

This talk session is also open to the public, especially those who are considering law as their future career path. 

This is the third event jointly organised with the AAS, the previous being a talk in 2012 on entry requirements to the Sarawak Bar and more recently in March this year on the Federal Constitution of Malaysia as part of the AAS’ MyConstitution campaign to educate citizens on their rights and freedoms.

Standing (from left): Ms. Kathy Atkins (competition judge and Clinical Associate Professor at Bond University’s Faculty of Law), Mr. Derrick Moh (senior law student from SEGi College) and Mr. Voon (father of participant Ezra Voon).

KUCHING – SEGi College Sarawak’s A-Levels Team finished as Runners-Up in the Bond University High School Mooting Competition held from the 24th-25th of April. The team, comprising Ezra Voon, Rene Yap and Jeffrey Foo, have never mooted before but spent weeks engrossed in extensive research, drafting and practice for their delivery. Notably, this was the first time SEGi College Sarawak has ever participated in the competition, which featured teams of students up to Year 12 or A-Levels from numerous public and private schools within the State. 

Having mooted on the first day of the competition, they were announced as one of the final two teams who would stand a chance to win the Grand Prize of a partial scholarship to pursue a Degree in Law at Bond University. Their opponents, SM Lodge (Team 1) eventually triumphed in what was admitted to be arguably the most tightly-contested final ever. 

“This was a very tough decision; both teams were so close in the Final Moot,” said Ms. Kathy Atkins, the judge and a Clinical Associate Professor from the University’s renowned Faculty of Law. 


“Considering this is the first time SEGi College is participating in this competition, to come second is a highly commendable achievement. We certainly look forward to seeing more of what the college has to offer in the years to come.” 

Ezra Voon, who acted as Senior Counsel for the team, states “This has been a fantastic learning process for us. We thank the organisers for this opportunity to hone and display our skills as budding advocates/solicitors. Most of all, we would like to show our appreciation to our friends, family and supporters, particularly our trainer Ms. Suhana Razali, who worked with us intensively, and our senior Derrick Moh, for keeping us motivated under pressure.” 

All three students are currently pursuing their A-Levels at SEGi College Sarawak, which offers the pre-university requisite programme under Edexcel UK.

A new career in banking

Banking industries has been with us since the dawn of trading. Over time, banking industries have developed in line with the needs of the business environment.

Within the industry of banking, Malaysia is one of the countries which is aggressively implementing Islamic Banking and Finance, currently ranking 5th globally in the Islamic Finance sector after United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.

This rise of Islamic Banking Institutions in Malaysia has resulted in widened career scopes in banking industries.

While a career focussing in this areas is not new, the lack of professionals who are qualified in Islamic Banking and Finance makes graduates with qualifications specific to this field in demand.

Islamic Banking is also one area in the Government’s Key National Economic Area (NKEA) under the 10th Malaysia Plan’s Entry Pont Project (EPP) whereby they aim to provide the benchmark for minimum standards in Islamic Banking and Finance education.

SPM students who have a minimum of 3 credits and would like to pursue a career in the Islamic Banking industry can apply for SEGi College Sarawak’s Diploma in Islamic Banking (DIIB).

“Graduates with Islamic Banking qualification have a wider career perspective in both Islamic banking and conventional banking compared to graduates who only possess a conventional banking qualification,” said Madam Elina Tiu, the Principal of SCSwk.

The DIIB programme is recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and Malaysia Qualification Agency (MQA).

SCSwk is currently having their Open Day on 30th and 31st March 2013 with promotions including RM500 Open Day registration and ‘A’ rebates for those who have A’s in their SPM results.

SCSwk offers Scholarships to SPM and STPM high achievers. Financial assistance in terms of study loans are also available.

SEGi Sarawak makes a new wish on RED OPEN DAY


22 Feb 2013, KUCHING: SEGi College Sarawak (SCSwk) makes a new wish during Chinese New Year celebration on RED Open Day. 


SCSwk believes that having a quality education as well as recognition by the Malaysian government is very important for anyone who pursues education and career thereafter. 

“We are always dedicated to provide quality education and on this New Year, together, we will give extra efforts in order to provide the best education to our students”, said Madam Elina Tiu, Principal of SCSwk. 

Quality education is not just about providing good theoretical materials, but it is also to provide good facilities to enhance theoretical principles into practical skills and knowledge. 

SCSwk has facilities ready for students who wish to pursue education such as a Simulation Ward for the Nursing programme, a Science Laboratory for the Medical Laboratory Technology programme, an Art Studio for the Design and Creative Arts programme and many more. 

Law programmes are also available in SCSwk, plus with the availability of a Moot Court to compliment practical classes, law students are equipped with hands-on experience before they even graduate. 

SCSwk encourages students to apply their theoretical knowledge and practical skills into practice. Therefore, most of SCSwk programmes are adopting an internship programme as a component of the syllabus. Students will have better experience in both class sessions and the workplace. 


“Having a great text book and teaching materials is not enough to ensure quality education. Without passionate and experienced lecturers, the knowledge cannot be delivered in a great way. SCSwk lecturers are equipped with academic qualification and industrial experience to guide students in both their academic and career paths”, added Tiu. 


SCSwk offers programmes that are recognised by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA). 

Financial assistance in terms of study loans and scholarships for high achievers in SPM and STPM are also provided.
