KUALA LUMPUR: TUN Daim Zainuddin has proved that persistence at any age will pay off.
“At my age, I fall sick easily. When I enrolled in the programme, I could walk just fine. But I have finally earned my doctorate and I now need a walking stick,” he said. “For the thesis, I was required to do a lot of research. In a way, this helped me with my speeches and allowed me to come up with a publication as well,” he said.
Daim said a challenge he faced in completing his doctorate was when supervisors asked him to give dates for historical events mentioned in his research. In his speech, Sultan Nazrin said data showed that about 100,000 graduates were produced every year since NEP ended in 1990, so within 30 years, Malaysia would have produced about three million graduates.He said when NEP began in 1971, it generated a lot of interest from a lot of people who wanted to know more about it.He said his studies had allowed him to put on record, through publication, the achievements and failures of the policy in an academic manner.
“Together, we formulated a way for Daim to put together his ideas in a structured manner, which is relevant in academic writing.
