Celine Wong Internship Update: Lecturer Visit

We had a visit by Celine Wong’s lecturer, Che Wan Jasimah, from the Department of Science and Technology Studies, University Malaya, this morning. She is currently in Melaka touring the southern states to visit several intern students which she has been tasked to look after.

We had a good discussion on several issues but mainly it revolved around the academic world and academic-industry relationship. Celine Wong had been task to assist us on some science communication issues and she had done very well so far.

DANAU Internship Program is one of several community programs which we are committed to. Sometimes there is not much an internship student can help a company in such a short duration. However, we are committed to providing a training ground for students to understand the real world in which they will be entering when they graduate. We are continuously improving our internship program.

Thank you for coming and we loook forward to another batch of University Malaya students next year.
