Selwyn Darryl Kessler, Loo Wei Xiong and Wong Ee Thiing from the Faculty of Computing and Informatics (FCI) and Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FIST) have made our university proud by competing on the world stage at Huawei ICT Competition.  The team, which was led by Dr. Ng Kok Why, Deputy Dean of FCI, has emerged as champions in the Preliminary stage, National stage, and Regional (Asia Pacific) stage of this competition.
