My first experience of PhD study in Malaysia
I'm a lecturer from Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Teuku Umar University. Previously, I have strategy position as Head of Marine Science Department. Alhamdulillah, after finishing my tenure. I have opportunity to continue my PhD study in the Institute of Marine Biotechnology (IMB), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. I'm the 2nd semester to conduct Lab work regarding the antifouling chemical profiling of selected seaweed from Indonesia. I have many experience and gain new insight and knowledge from Malaysia. Alhamdulillah, I have a scholarship from Petronas via my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Noraznawati Ismail and Dr. Jasnizat. I would like to thank to Allah and them that supported my living allowance and research projects during PhD by research in Malaysia. Wish Allah give them the blessing, Aameen.
in the Weekend, I visited beautiful place in Terengganu for example Drawbridges Terengganu vector. I enjoy my life. I always share to my family including my wife and my children about my daily activities in Malaysia. I wish I can bring my family to visit the amazing place in Malaysia. not only in Malaysia but also other neighboring countries such as Thailand, Vietnams, Singapore and others.
I have a lot of friend from many countries. We always assist each other. we always discussed about research methodology. My advise for all students in the around the world, if you want to success, you must have passion in yourself. you must be brave to go out in comfortable zone. Every problem sometimes follow you, but you must be patient to face a lot of challenges in your life. Keep tough and worship on time💪.
