Held at the Persada Convention Centre, the event was presided over by the Vice Chancellor and President of Newcastle University, Prof. Chris Day. The ceremony also featured the conferment of an Honorary Degree to acclaimed academic and environmental scientist Prof. Dato’ Ir.

“I am delighted to accept this honour,” Prof. Dato’ Ir. Dr. Zaini said, “Newcastle University offers flexible and efficient learning pathways to enable people to not only enrich themselves but also to serve society.”
Born to a military family, Prof. Dato’ Ir. Dr. Zaini had learnt to be independent from a young age while living in a student hostel. He pursued chemical engineering for his undergraduate studies before branching out into environmental engineering for his postgraduate studies, completing his Master of Science (Environmental Engineering) and PhD at Newcastle University, UK.

“I hope you will begin the next phase of your journey – wherever the trail may lead – with confidence and pride as a Newcastle University graduate,” he added.
