Annual Grand Meeting

Hey, hey, hey! Welcome to all the new students to degree courses, and hello again to the rest. It's a brand new year and we have a brand new president for our club ;) *claps*

In case you missed the Annual Grand Meeting that was held last Wednesday at DK3, here's to catch you up to speed.

Introducing, the new committee members of the club ;

Then, we had an election for the head biros. The followings are your new head biros ;

Biro Publisti : Muhammad Zaid Jamil (Part 4b)

Biro Perhubungan Luar : Azril Bin Rosli (Part 2c)

Biro Sukan : Afiq Rifhan Bin Ramli (Part 4a)

Biro Teknikal Fasiliti dan Logistik : Megat Adam Idris bin Sonari (Part 2c)

Biro Tugas-Tugas Khas : Nurul Husna Binti Mohamma Khairuddin (Part 2c)

If you're wondering why there was no election for club president, and the rest of the selected few, it's because they are chosen by our penasihat, En. Arwin. That is because they have proven themselves to be trustworthy and shown to have the credibility to carry the workload. Our club has won an award to be one of the most active club in UiTM. Thus, to maintain that reputation, it needs to have reliable leaders.

Although, if you are interested in becoming one, you could start from the bottom. I believe our elected head biros are still recruiting their members. Feel free to leave your name and contacts below in the comment (depending on the availability of the positions) or go straight to the respective head biros!

One more thing, as a member of the club, you can contribute in taking the club's name up to the top among the most active clubs in UiTM! If you have any suggestions or an idea for a program to host, don't be shy to come forward to any of the head committees mentioned above and we will discuss in making it a reality. We have 3 programs already in plan so far and that is, Induction, Actuarial Talk and Actuarial Road Tour. Show your support by joining all the following activities!

Welcome to the World of Actuary

Today, the club held a talk at Dewan Al-Ghazali. We've invited En. Jefferey Zain who is an appointed actuary to give us an insight into what it's like and what it takes to be an actuary.

The program was a success. Almost 200 students came.

For those who came to the talk, in the beginning, some of them might have think twice whether or not to continue pursuing the goal to become an actuary. En. Jefferey stressed that the exams, the professional papers, which you have to take to become a fully pledged actuary, are very hard. He, himself, have failed many, many times before he got to where he is now. After been through it all, the hard work and the effort he put in to achieve success in his career, he doesn't really recommend students to further their studies in actuarial science, that is if money is your biggest and only motivation. After all, there are other ways to earn big money. Even so, becoming an actuary have its pros. It is rewarding. When asked whether it was worth the effort and the hard work, he said that it was and he is very happy with it and found it to be satisfying.

And as En. Arwin have mentioned to his students, Microsoft Excel is very, very important. In the actuarial deparment, you would find yourself doing lots of spreadsheet for almost every thing. So, if you plan to excel in becoming an actuary, you must know how to use Excel.

That is some of the things that he said.. There was a lot more valuable inputs.

the guys're listening intently.
