Voting on Venue

Before deciding on the committee, some of us considered it more practical to set the venue first. Therefore, we will vote on the venue first. The voting will end this Friday.

The poll can be found here ==============================================>

After much discussion, it is clear that the most practical places to have our graduation ceremony are KL, Penang or Langkawi. Other great places like Chaah and its magnificent special market events were considered but after weighing the pros and cons, these three places are the best choices.

The rationales behind the selection of these three cities are listed below:

Kuala lumpur

- It is the capital city and easily accessible to all of us( North, South and those from East Malaysia)

- There is many facilities and grand halls( Putra Jaya) and also accommodations( i believe most of us have relatives in KL where we also can stay with)

-There are many people in our batch who lives here and easier for them to organise it together.

- We may be able to get some VIP's to attend our ceremony through personal connections.

Penang

- its also another alternative  city to Kuala Lumpur and basically shares the same pros as organising it in KL.

- There is also many students leaving in this area who can easily put this ceremony together.

- It is very easily accessible to the people from West Malaysia but may be a bit difficult for those from East Malaysia.

Langkawi

-It is a very different and uniques location to have it as an alternative rather than a big city.

- We may have beach after-celebrations or even seafood dinner by the beach.

- The facilities here maybe cheaper than the bigger cities( chocolates and drinks are definitely cheaper)

- Great place to spend time with family especially during this graduation ceremony period. It can be like a family get-away.

- It may be not very convenient for those travelling there especially those from East Malaysia.

Introduction

Fellow 6th Years,

As we all know our graduation is fast approaching. This is the ceremony we all have been waiting 6 years for and we want it to be the best and most memorable event as possible. We are going to plan and organise 2 main ceremonies: one in Volgograd and one in Malaysia. The one in Volgograd will be held with all the other international students in our university. We will have to set a team for that and work with other nationalities and also A.A. Spasov on that event. For the ceremony in Malaysia, it will be held specially not only for our parents & relatives who might not be able attend the ceremony in Volgograd, but also for us to fully organise it and experience it best in our own home country.

Right now, we have to nominate a leader and his/her team for the ceremony in Malaysia. This is so that they will have adequate time to organise and put things in place.Things that have to be decided :

(1) Place of ceremony whether it will be in our capital KL, Penang, Langkawi, Kuching, Parit Buntar or any place else base on suitability and of course, theme of the ceremony!

(2) Organisation and also all the logistics for the ceremony in the location decided upon.

(3) other details which will be needed for the event

Last year, the 6th year decided to nominate a group in charge of it ( exp. Group 33) since we rarely meet and it is easier for a team in the same group to discuss and get things done. They held it at PWTC in Putra Jaya. We can follow the same pattern or nominate a different system of leadership. It all depends on us.  We will have to decide by the end of this week.

Do nominate and we will decide on the Facebook Page we have set up specially for this. This is to cut down meetings that we are going to have among all the 6th year students and it will be a very good place to put up constructive ideas and proposals to the organizing team. Of course it will be great if you guys can set up special small meetings with the organising committee  to discuss or propose and idea to them. 

Do log on to the Facebook page and this blog to keep uptodate with everything that is going on with our graduation ceremony. Inform every 6th year Malaysian students about this and get them to sign up to the Facebook page so that no one misses out. Your cooperation is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Kelvin Yii
