“Today’s era is seeing a rapid rate of globalization. Communicating thousands of miles apart becomes easier, journeys across the globe become shorter, businesses flourish within seconds and decisions are made with the click of a button or a touch of screen. Innovation and creativity help the world progress. To be competitive against the fast changing and progressing world, it is important that we equip ourselves with the necessary tools. If we do not change, we will lose out in the competition”, said Tan Sri Dato Sri Dr. Ali Hamsa, Chief Secretary to the Government of Malaysia, at 7^th Convocation Day Celebrations of Crescent University.
