Life at Vision College



Lee Wee Giap, Human Resource Director

Being in Vision College is quite fun. I get to meet people from different places.
During my recent visit to Tawau, Sabah, I did a career talk at SMK Kuhara, the students there were involved in the talk and paid attention. They were very responsive and interested in the Programmes offered in Vision College.

Overwhelming response from SMK Kuhara students
I had the opportunity to meet some CEO and some key personnel of hospitals.

Recently, I went to Penang to visit Hospitals such as Penang Adventist, Island Hospital and Gleneagles Medical Centre as they have voiced their interest in recruiting sonographers or sponsoring sonographers. They were very pleasant people and they enquired about what the sonographers can do. They were quite impressed that the sonographers were able to perform numerous scans within a short period of one year. Penang Adventist has recruited and sponsored previously some of their staff to study in Vision College. Island Hospital, Penang and Gleneagles Medical Centre, Penang has recently sponsored a student each to study the Postgraduate Diploma of Medical Ultrasonography (Asia).





Melaka Mahkota Medical Centre has also visited Vision College recently, they had a look around the college and were quite impressed that there were quite a number of ultrasound systems, which is more than most Hospitals in Malaysia. They were also happy to know that the examiners for the Postgraduate Diploma of Medical Ultrasonography (Asia) were from Australia.


When the Examiners or Visiting lecturer from Australia visit, I have the pleasure of bringing them around to some eateries around Klang Valley. They enjoy the food in Malaysia and the variety of spices. They usually comment on how impress they were with the flexibility of students in switching between languages. I suppose that is what makes us truly Malaysians, we speak in a variety of languages and we understand each other.
