It is with great joy and pride that I welcome you to the Alumni Fest of the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Technology (FEST). This celebration is more than a reunion—it is a testament to the bonds we have built, the achievements we have shared, and the lifelong connections that unite us as members of the FEST family.

Over the years, FEST has grown into a vibrant hub of innovation, where education meets inspiration and knowledge shapes the future. Our alumni, hailing from diverse fields—Technology, TESL, Sports Sciences, Islamic Studies, and our expanding postgraduate programmes—continue to embody the values and aspirations we hold dear. Your successes across Malaysia and beyond are a source of immense pride and an inspiration to our current students.

As we gather, we also reaffirm our commitment to the four foundational pillars that guide FEST: Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), which equips learners with hands-on skills for meaningful careers; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), which fuels discovery and progress; the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to prepare graduates for a rapidly evolving world; and a Holistic Educational System that shapes competent, ethical, and compassionate leaders.

Alumni Fest is an opportunity to celebrate our shared history, rekindle friendships, and create new possibilities for collaboration. May this event strengthen our network, spark new ideas, and inspire us to continue shaping the future of learning, teaching, and innovation—together.

On behalf of FEST, I thank you for returning to celebrate this special occasion with us. Once FEST, always FEST.
