Hello!

My name is Azizullah Hanif, and I want to share my experiences as a student in Malaysia. I am currently in my third semester, pursuing a Master of Engineering and Science at the University of Malaya. Studying here has been an incredible adventure, and I hope my story inspires you to consider Malaysia as your study destination!

When I first arrived in Malaysia, I felt a bit lost and unsure about where to proceed with my documentation. Just then, I spotted the EMGS banner, and their representatives greeted me with friendly smiles. Even in the late hours of the night, their presence made me feel right at home. At that moment, I realized I wasn't alone; their warm welcome was incredibly comforting. I still remember their kindness, which set a positive tone for my entire journey. From the start, I felt embraced by the wonderful diversity of this country. Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures -Malay, Chinese, Indian, and many more. The people here are genuinely friendly and welcoming, making it easy for newcomers like me to feel at home. The country is known for its many joyful festivals that bring communities together, celebrating rich traditions and cultural heritage.

One of my most memorable experiences was celebrating Hari Raya, a festival that marks the end of Ramadan. On this special day, everyone dresses in beautiful traditional attire, and I was proud to wear my Baju Melayu. The atmosphere was filled with joy and excitement as families and friends gathered to share delicious food and sweets. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with others and partake in the festivities. The spirit of kindness and unity during Hari Raya truly showcases the best of Malaysian culture.

During the semester break, I had the opportunity to explore Malacca City, and it was a fantastic experience. Together with nine friends from different nationalities, we embarked on a journey to discover more about Malaysia's rich heritage and diversity. As we wandered through the historic streets, we learned about the fascinating history that shaped the city, from its colonial past to its vibrant cultural tapestry. The experience deepened our appreciation for Malaysia and highlighted
the beauty of its multicultural society.

One of the highlights of living in Malaysia is the food! The flavors are extraordinary and truly unique. One of my personal favorites is Nasi Lemak, a delightful rice dish served with spicy sambal, peanuts, and more. Eating in Malaysia goes beyond just satisfying hunger; it’s a cultural experience. From bustling street food stalls to cozy local restaurants, every meal is an exciting adventure waiting to be explored.

Studying in Malaysia has truly been one of the best decisions of my life. This country offers a remarkable environment for learning and personal growth. If you’re seeking a new adventure, a warm community, and the chance to immerse yourself in a beautiful culture, Malaysia is an excellent choice. I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve had and the unforgettable memories I’ve created during my time here.
