NUBS Malaysia undergraduate student Luqman Hakim Mohd Isa, was the second runner-up in an inter-university video challenge organised by Celcom Axiata Berhad, a major Malaysian telecommunications provider. The challenge, which ran from June to September 2014, aimed to encourage young Malaysian talents from public and private institutions of higher education to create digital video content to portray engaging stories in conjunction with Malaysia’s 57th Independence Day (‘Merdeka’) celebrations. The contest was centred around the theme of ‘heritage’, inspired by a song by famous Malaysian legend and singer-songwriter Dato’ Sudirman Hj. Arshad.

Luqman received a cash prize of RM2,000 at an awards ceremony on October 7, 2014, from the Chief Executive Officer of Celcom Axiata Berhad and ESCAPE Axiata Berhad.
