Abdullah Mustaffar Razali and Heah Chee Shean, both 22, recently won the Gold and Best Colour Choice award in their respective competition categories at the 2013 Nippon Paint Young Designer Award (NPYDA). Abdullah, who won the Architecture category's top title, transformed a single-function futsal court into a multiple-use "Kuantan Youth Centre". He introduced canopies on his building design to harvest rainwater as well as green-coloured walls to reduce building temperature and induce better air filtration. "It is not just a conducive environment for the younger community, it is a place that incorporates functionality with ecological features," explained the Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah student. Champions: Abdullah Mustaffar (left) and Heah with their trophies. Heah, from Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, won the Interior Design category's coveted award for her colourful "Flamboyant Pier Play School". Reinterpreting tradition, she played around with basic industrial containers, arranging them in a cluster that allows ventilation, wind flow and natural sunlight. "My design is made from simple green ideas, but it is cost-effective and easy to construct. Most importantly, safety is key since it is meant for pre-schoolers," said Heah. This year's competition theme, "Re:Think. Re:Create", challenged students to dig deep into what they perceive to be functional site development. "Current landscape trends demand design concepts that are developed in response to current issues such as sustainability, community and health," said Nippon Paint Malaysia Sdn Bhd group general manager Gladys Goh. Unique:Heah's Flamboyant 'Pier Play School' won the Interior Design Category gold. "Re:Think.Re:Create wasn't just a colour competition. It works on the platform that recognises green factors, efficient use of space, and purpose, which is what students need to learn now as they are the ones who build the future." The architecture category's Silver Award went to Wan Mei Zhen from UCSI University for "Cultural Centre of KL", honorary mention to UCSI's Tan Kwon Chong for "Helio Health Centre" and Zheng Xing from Linton College for "KLCC" while the Best Green Innovation award also went to Tan.

Deputy Education Minister Datuk Mary Yap Kain Ching said with the accreditation given by the commission, it was time for polytechnics as higher education institutions to allow for the intake of foreign students. "This international recognition which we should be proud of, shows that Malaysia has been moving forward in the field of technical education and vocational training (TEVT). "This recognition also means that our polytechnic graduates have reached international standard and have good potential in the employment market up to the global level," she told reporters, here, last night. She had earlier presented the APACC recognition to three premier polytechnics, namely Politeknik Ungku Omar, Ipoh, Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, Pasir Gudang, Johor dan Polytechnic Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam, which had been selected and assessed based on seven criteria set. The criteria are governance and management, teaching and learning, faculty and staff, research and development, extension consultancy and linkages, resources and support for students. Yap said the APACC accreditation would also facilitate the mobiliy of polytechnic graduates to Asean countries, besides portraying the high quality of studies at the polytechnics. The APACC is under the Colombo Plan Staff College For Technical Education (CPSP) with a membership of 17 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Malaysia. This year, four polytechnics have been proposed to go through the APACC accreditation process, namely Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah in Kuantan, Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah in Behrang, Politeknik Seberang Perai, Penang and  Politeknik Kota Bharu, Kelantan. – BERNAMA You are subscribed to email updates from Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah - Google Blog Search To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
