    Describing the university-industry collaboration as essential to building the next generation of talents, Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid urged MSUrians to be ahead by building their employability as well as entrepreneur ability.

    Going beyond is fundamental to success, he said, and creativity, as well as innovation, will turn circumstances and churn opportunities. It is the insight of opportunity in every circumstance that makes the entrepreneurial mindset.

    “Entrepreneurship is a pillar of the University; a culture, not an academic component. Find your purpose in entrepreneurship, and use learnability as a platform for the re-learning essential to lifelong learning,” remarked the MSU President.
