2009 is going to be a proud year for Ayoh De and the Clan. His 2 children Ja (Khaizar) and Kay (Shakil) will be graduating. Ja will graduate with a degree in computing from the University of Wolverhampton in the UK this Summer and Kay from Limkokwing University, Cyberjaya with a Bachelor of Arts (Hon) in Creative Multimedia. I gather that Ja will not be coming back so soon as he wishes to continue further for a Masters degree. This is commendable. It is best to obtain at least a Masters qualification these days so that it is easier to get a job. Better still Ja gets a job in the UK. I hope he will be lucky enough to get a job there especially in an international company. The experience will be good for his profile.

As for Kay he will be graduating in June but he will get his scroll only in August. I am not sure if he will continue for his Masters. It would be best if he can progress for his Masters in the UK together with his brother in the same university. In terms of costs it will be much less because they can stay together. There have been many cases similar to Ja and Kay where family members help each other in terms of living expenses. Working part time in England as students can be easy and it is allowed. There are many Malaysian students in the UK who are self financed. It is a question of working hard. If they can secure jobs after their Masters degree then it will be a matter of time when their other siblings can also enjoy the benefit of UK education and improve their station in life, insha Allah. Of course there are other opportunities as well in UK even doing business.

Having said all that it is of utmost importance that they do not forget their roots while there. That they are Malays and Muslims and be proud of the fact. Others will respect them if they are proud of what they are and live righteously.

Let us all pray for their success so that they be the pride of the Clan.
