00:00One, two, three.
00:02Happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
00:18Fifty-six years ago, on 24 February 1969, the then Tengku Abdul Rahman College opened
00:28its doors to its first cohort of students.
00:34This marks the beginning of a remarkable journey, a journey filled with challenges, triumphs,
00:44and an unwavering commitment to excellence in education.
00:51What began as a modest endeavor has grown into a distinguished university, renowned
01:01for producing graduates who make meaningful contributions to society, country, globally,
01:11and locally.
01:14As we celebrate our Foundation Day, let us take a moment to remember the visionaries
01:22and pioneers whose dedication and foresight laid the foundation for TAR UMT.
01:33In this midst of tough challenges, they held fast to their integrity to provide high-quality
01:43education which is affordable for all Malaysians.
01:50The founders of this institution are leaders of the people, and it is their legacy that
01:58continues to inspire us to strive for greater heights.
02:05I'm sure all of you are aware that the story of the Tarshans TAR UMT's very own docudrama.
02:17I'm happy to note that this film will be screened here after this ceremony, and several
02:24more screening sessions will be held until 28 February 2025.
02:32The story of Tarshans resonates with many of us, including myself, who has spent our
02:40lives at TAR UMT.
02:45It is my hope that many more Tarshans will watch the story of Tarshans.
02:52Today, TAR UMT stands as a beacon of innovation, industry, inclusivity, and academic excellence.
03:05Our achievements would not have been possible without the dedication of our faculty and
03:13staff who have worked tirelessly to nurture and guide generations of students.
03:21To our alumni, your success is our greatest pride.
03:27You are living proof of TAR UMT's transformative power of education, and we are honoured to
03:35have played a role in your journey.
03:39To our current students, you are the torchbearers of our legacy.
03:46We encourage you to embrace the opportunities before you, uphold the values instilled in
03:53you, and make your mark in the world.
