Interactive Media Informatics: Graduates

gov.sg team with guest of honour Mr Zaqy Mohamad, Member of Parliament, Hong Kah, GRC.

Nur Ashikin Isnin our graduate can be found at the 2nd row(second from the right)

Nur Ashikin Isnin graduated in 2009 from Internet and Multimedia Development (now Interactive Media Informatics). She is currently working in the Ministry of Infocomm, Communications and the Arts, Public Communications Division as a webmaster.

Her advice to our students is to "Work hard to get what you want. Efforts that you have put in will surely benefit you one day."

She shares with us her experience as a webmaster for gov.sg and crisis.gov.sg.

"It is my duty to oversee issues or amend any broken links within these two sites. As these sites will reach out to thousands of people each day, it is my job to maintain the currency of the portals by giving prompt and regular updates. This helps ensure customers of the portal that they will receive up-to-date and relevant information from the government. Apart from that, both me and my colleague are required to create visuals for http://www.gov.sg/ highlight items.

The department has also exposed me to the creation of both static and Flash advertisements to promote the websites. Currently, they are giving me the opportunity to create an intranet website for them. Often, they let me do what I love most - to take photographs! All that I had learnt in the Diploma in Internet and Multimedia Devt have been very useful and relevant for my job.

Thanks to Diploma Internet and Multimedia Devt / Interactive Media Informatics! "

IIT school was honoured to have Ms Grace Fu, Singapore's Senior Minister of State for Ministry of National Development, witness the event and gave a meaningful speech to the graduands. Amongst them are our regular bloggers – Alastair, Raymond, Alvin, Shellen, Wanqi.

To make the event more meaningful, Kevin Lee’s ambition of completing the course has finally come to fruition today. Kevin was featured in The New Paper on 17 May 2009. Kevin suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (rapid muscle degeneration) since the age of 10; he would attend lessons on a wheelchair and is usually accompanied by his mom. His condition deteriorated over the years but his sheer determination and perseverance only serves to prove one point: Nothing is impossible. Congratulations!!!
