    Prime example that our rakyat abang-abangs & sis can excel when they have equal opportunity, compete on merit, and not being discriminated because they are Malay & Muslim. Congrats to all.

      Without Petronas the Germans would not have succeeded. So kudos to Petronas instead. You showed that UiTM, MARA locals can achieve greatness
