Another day, another story. The past two days have been hectic. Especially with assignments and of course, university stuff. At least, it was a change in pace in terms of life because before this, I was living in a very, very laidback lifestyle. Relaxing at home, watching the tube and doing stuffs that I can enjoy.
On Tuesday, I was at UiTM Malacca, attending the BBM class. It was the last class of this semester. Time does flies really fast. I was the only guy in that particular class, very frustrating. Then, I rushed back to KL with two of my groupmates, Adzim and Segat to go for the second interview with Shaikh Abbas, head of the CMTM. CMTM is the representative of the major players of the tobacco industry in Malaysia. At 12 p.m, we met up with the rest of the group, Dahlia and Fatin and went to see the mentioned person.
After being lost for a while, we arrived at the office and the interview started. It was a very interesting and mind-opening experience interviewing Shaikh Abbas. He talks about the tobacco industry in a very passionate way, condemning the NGO’s who wants to shut down the tobacco industry and also argues the importance of the tobacco industry. He also shared a lot of his experience with us. Also, being a UiTM Alumni of our field of study, he also shared some advice about how to tackle this mad world of communication. A very great experience for me and because this is the last project assignment, it meant a lot more. Here’s a picture of my team and Shaikh Abbas after the interview.
