MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
AeU has opened the door to
higher education, giving working
adults the chance to continue
learning and to upgrade their
skills and knowledge, thus
improving not only themselves,
but also their families,
professions and, ultimately,
their country

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Graduands,
It is with great pleasure that I am able today to congratulate the graduands of 2014. The drive and aspirations of
each graduating class in our tertiary institutions is always inspiring but in AeU, it is more than just a convocation
ceremony. It is an achievement because it takes real commitment to have pursued and completed a degree
programme whilst having to balance work and family commitments. It involves grit, determination and talent.
Each of you have shown that you have it, and it’s now a new phase of a journey.
I extend my heartiest congratulations to all those graduating from AeU today more because you have made a
vision of the future and taken this remarkable step to upskill and upgrade your credentials. Your achievement lies
not merely in the degree you are bestowed with today but in the perseverance and hard work that you have put
in, more so as working adults.
Shaping Education Landscape
To date, AeU has enrolled over 16,000 learners, with more
than 5,000 having successfully graduated. This, in itself, is
an achievement in lifelong learning. By focusing heavily on
technology, AeU has opened the door to higher education,
giving working adults the chance to continue learning and
to upgrade their skills and knowledge, thus improving not
only themselves, but also their families, professions and,
ultimately, their country.
Built on the philosophy that education should be
democratised, AeU has focused on creating an affordable
and accessible pathway to higher education, while placing
importance on flexible entry requirements, a learner-friendly
academic system, and a blended pedagogy that combines
different modes of learning. Each of these components is
designed to fulfil the diverse needs of its learners and to
create learning environments in which responses to the
challenges of the 21st century.
For working adults, who make up the majority of AeU’s
learners, the motives for pursuing higher or continued
education are usually associated with personal development
and career advancement. Moreover, in today’s globalised
economy, the knowledge capital of a country’s labour force
is considered vital for national growth. Without continuous
betterment of the people’s education, a country will certainly
find it difficult to compete on the global stage. Thus,
providing the means for these working adults to partake in
education has great implications for both lifelong learning
and national economic development.
Looking back, the university has certainly come a long way.
In just being over seven years, AeU is still relatively young,
especially when compared to other universities. Having said
that, AeU is proud of its progress and anticipates more
milestones in the future. To this end, we are pleased to
be acknowledged by the Right Honourable Deputy Prime
Minister of Malaysia, who announced at the ACD Annual
Meeting in Kuwait that the most successful project of the
ACD is the Asia e University.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Lifelong Learning
Learn, Unlearn and Relearn
Lifelong learning covers all types of learning activities
which are undertaken on an ongoing basis with the aim of
improving knowledge, skills and competence. It could be
formal, nonformal and informal, and includes those types of
learning which earn you a diploma or degree as well as those
earn you no paper qualifications whatsoever but provide you
with new knowledge or capabilities. Lifelong learning is also
not time-bound. It is about acquiring and upgrading one’s
knowledge and skills at various stages in life, starting from
the pre-school to post-retirement years.
Today the world has changed and knowledge is multiplying
at a rapid pace. Over 20 years ago, Alvin Toffler famously
predicted: “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be
those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot
learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
Where AeU is concerned, lifelong learning is also about
providing second chances for people. The ultimate goal
is to help the workforce progress in terms of capabilities
and competencies. There are many people who could not
continue their education at the same time as their peers due
to various obstacles. This is their chance to do during their
productive years without jeopardising their existing routine.
This indicates the need for courses and programmes which
suit their requirements and interest. The provision of such
courses and programmes necessitates the use of an open
and flexible mode such as that adopted at AeU.
What we learnt one or two decades ago is just not
enough even for survival, let alone for success, in a highly
competitive global market. Research indicates that you
could have two to four careers in a lifetime, something that
is already happening in Asia. So even if you have graduated,
you will still need to continue to learn, unlearn and re-learn
many different things during the course of your life. In short
you will need to be lifelong learners if you wish to succeed.
You will have to be prepared for making multiple career
choices in the ever-changing global economy.
Conclusion
To all graduating students, while I extend my congratulations
once again, I wish to add that learning never stops. It is my
hope that you would continue to evolve and persist in your
enthusiasm to improve, and to acquire new knowledge and
skills.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who
have contributed towards making today’s event a memorable
one. In particular, my deep appreciation to the Ministry of
Education, Wisma Putra, Ministry of Finance and the ACD
for their continuous support. I also wish to thank members
of the AeU Management and Staff for their hard work and
keen efforts.
Once again, my congratulations to the graduands of 2014.
I wish you a bright and exciting future.

MESSAGE FROM
THE ACD REPRESENTATIVE
Asia e University contributes
to strengthening the human
resources foundation of ACD
and society at large

MESSAGE FROM THE ACD REPRESENTATIVE
Dear Graduands,
On behalf of the Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD), I wish to extend our heartiest congratulations to AeU on staging
its 4th Convocation Ceremony. As we celebrate hard work and success today, I feel heartened on behalf of the
ACD, to extend our heartiest congratulations to AeU’s graduating class.
As Asia grows in this new era globalization and trade into a
world leader, the continent will require a variety of skills and
you can be assured that your talent, responsiveness and
conscientiousness will hold you in good stead to face the
needs and challenges of the future.
It is an honour for Thailand, as Coordinator of the ACD, and I
in my professional capacity, to be associated with the AeU’s
4th Convocation Ceremony. Since the historic 1st ACD
Heads of States Summit in the State of Kuwait in October
2012, the ACD process has been revitalized. There are
numerous important activities and initiatives in the pipeline.
In 2013, the Republic of Tajikistan and the Kingdom of
Bahrain hosted the 11th and 12th ACD Ministerial Meetings.
We also welcome the generous offers of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia to host the 13th Ministerial Meeting in Riyadh in
2014, the Kingdom of Thailand to host the 14th Ministerial
Meeting and the 2nd ACD Summit in March 2015, and the
Islamic Republic of Iran to host the 3rd ACD Summit in 2018.
In terms of initiatives, the ACD has ongoing initiatives on
food and energy, security, emergency preparedness,
poverty reduction and regional connectivity. Among these,
the initiative that has the potential to deliver the most wideranging impact is regional connectivity. Building on ASEAN’s
experience, Thailand will work with all ACD Member
Countries to enhance hard (physical connectivity) and soft
(trade, investment and travel facilitation) connectivity.
This initiative will deliver physical accessibility, enhanced
economic and cultural relations, as well as regional peace
and prosperity. Some also refer to this initiative as the Silk
Route revival.
Underpinning all activities is the human element. Human
resources development is the key ingredient in all ACD
endeavours. Without the capacity to understand and
implement the concepts being advocated, ACD cooperation
or any endeavour for that matter could not move forward.
It is in this context that Malaysia’s Asia e University initiative
is so laudable. It is one that truly contributes to strengthening
the human resources foundation of ACD and society at large.
In the years to come, its graduates will surely contribute to
the forward progress of the ACD Community and the global
community at large.
The onset of the Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2015
is something that we should look forward to with great
vigor as it presents a multitude of opportunities for people
like you who will lead the next generation to progress and
cooperation.
As much as borders are breaking down, we see the onset
of a more diverse yet united AEC. This presents a great
opportunity for you to continue learning and growing for the
good of your country and the people of Asia.
We are delighted to stand beside AeU as it moves steadily
in this specific project area of e-education, in which
Malaysia is the prime mover. I would like to thank the Board
of Directors, President and Management of AeU, for their
efforts in making our vision of reputable higher education
for the Asian community a reality and for continuously taking
it to higher levels of accomplishment.
In conclusion, let me extend my warm greetings and
congratulations to all of you who graduate today. As you
set out on the next steps of your journey, and as you cross
many more milestones that mark your achievements, I am
sure you will proudly recall the value of the opportunities
that AeU gave you, and how it empowered you for success.

MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT/CEO
AeU is constantly innovating
our pedagogy and programme
delivery to cater to the unique
learning styles of different
segments of learners
11
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO
Dear Graduands,
Today, a total of 1,200 students are graduating with an AeU degree. This will take place over two sessions, one
in the morning and another in the afternoon. We salute and congratulate all of you, our graduates, and all your
staunch supporters.
This graduating batch comes from a total of 78 academic and professIonal programmes. Among the graduands
are from the inaugural cohort of ‘Program Pensiswazahan Guru’ under the Ministry of Education. These are
teachers who have successfully completed their Bachelor of Education (Teaching English as a Second Language)
programme.
To all our graduating students, your accomplishment is not
to be lightly valued. As our students, you have overcome
academic challenges, deadlines, conflicting demands of
family, work and study, to finish your studies.
We salute all of you, those who have overcome immense
odds to succeed, or those who, despite their senior years,
still found the joy and satisfaction to come back to school.
Each of you has scaled a mountain and reached its peak.
It is a tough challenge to juggle studies, work and family
commitments and to persist to the very end. And most
important meeting AeU rigorous academic standards along
the way.
As we celebrate, let us not forget an important ally who has
also an important stake in this venture. In your time at AeU,
you have had to work much harder than those who study fulItime at other universities. I am certain, however, that many
of you couldn’t have done it without the encouragement and
support of your family, friends, colleagues and employers.
People who had stood by you through those long days and
nights. Today, let us also not forget to thank them with our
success.
Present and Future Developments
AeU has made a strong start on the next lap of its exciting
journey. With the foundation firmly laid in the first seven
years since our establishment in 2007, the last two years
have been focused on consolidating our achievements
and cementing the strong ties we have made. 2014, in
particular, has been an exciting and productive year. With
the underpinning focus on providing a quality education for
working adults, AeU continued to break new grounds to
entrench its standing as the choice university for working
professionals and adult learners.
Across all eight (8) Schools of the University, existing
programmes were reviewed and enhanced and new ones
introduced to deliver relevance to the ever-changing
demands of the market place. To meet the exacting
standards of the government as well as students’ and
employers’ expectations, we invested considerably in the
review of our programmes. Existing ones were refreshed
with updated contents and new ones added to fill knowledge
gaps and meet niche market needs. Our teaching is
designed to balance local issues with global perspectives
so that our graduates can be effective locally and globally.
New partnerships with industry players were also forged
to more actively engage them in mutually beneficial
relationships; identifying new and relevant areas of needs
and developing programmes to meet those needs.
We are also constantly innovating our pedagogy and
programme delivery to cater to the unique learning styles
of different segments of learners. Such initiatives include
offering more e-learning modules to make learning more
accessible and flexible for adult learners, and packaging
our courses in modules to meet specific training needs of
organisations.
12
And I am very proud to inform that AeU is currently contributing
towards one of the nation’s priority areas in education, that
is, the upgrading of our primary school teachers, who are
currently diploma holders, to become degree holders. This
particular programme is to assist the Ministry of Education
in their drive to enhance the qualification of local teachers
in the country. More than 3,000 in-service teachers have
enrolled in AeU Bachelor of Education programme in 3 areas
of specialisation, namely Teaching English as a Second
Language,Teaching Malay Language in Primary School and
Early Childhood Education.
Deepening our Inks in Asia and the Rest of the World
As with the majority of universities today, where higher
education aspires towards globalization, we are similarly
developing talent by putting education within the reach of
many more individuals.
Even though AeU is regarded as young institution, I believe
we have taken great strides in not just building human capital
but also by uniting the further education needs of the diverse
Asian community. Today, AeU has spread its wings far and
wide to ACD countries such as China, India, Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, Singapore,
Thailand, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Maldives,
and also beyond to non-ACD countries like Denmark, New
Zealand, Hong Kong, Namibia, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia,
Yemen, Mauritius and the UK.
Our programmes are delivered through smart partnership
with learning institutions in these countries. These
partnerships provided a host of benefits to the learners.
They are able to gain AeU qualifications without having to
leave their jobs or relocate to Malaysia. This makes learning
a degree from a foreign university more affordable for them.
They can pursue programmes that are highly in demand
while remaining in their home country.
All the positive developments we have experienced, signal
international acceptance of AeU that offers promise of
greater strength in the years ahead.
Strengthening Alumni
A key focus for next year and the years ahead are our alumni.
To advance this alumni interest, the Student and Alumni
Affairs Department has been activated and will shortly be
announcing a suite of benefits and activities for our alumni.
One key benefit will be the AeU ‘Alumni Continuing Education’
programme which invites our past graduates back for
continuing knowledge upgrading at highly preferential rates.
I urge you, as newly-minted alumni of AeU, to connect,
reconnect, and nourish one another. Contribute to the
growth of your alma mater by helping to shape the culture,
character, and potential of this institution. Inspire others
who are in the unenviable position you were once in, as
multi-taskers straddling numerous heavy commitments.
Our Graduates as AeU’s Reputation Builder
A university’s reputation and growth depend much on how
its alumni impact society and how they return to serve
their alma mater. AeU looks towards you for your support
in fulfilling its educational mission. You are the ones who
will testify to the quality of the education you have received
at AeU. And I believe, it is not just a matter of knowledge
or ability to use your newly-acquired knowledge at your
workplace. It is also about having good work ethics, being
dependable, proactive and adaptable. What AeU’s graduates
should be known for is also a people who have integrity and
honour, who can excel as individuals and yet work well with
others, who are passionate learners and willing teachers
and mentors.
I hope that you will continue to be engaged with us,
connected with your fellow graduates and be a help to our
students; be proud of your qualification and fly the AeU
flag well wherever you are practising, and make a positive
impact on the community you are in.
Conclusion
Graduands, today’s convocation ceremony closes a chapter
of your lives but opens up another, with new and promising
opportunities. How successful you will be depends on you.
The focus, drive and determination you have exhibited while
studying are the same ingredients for your success in your
next phase of life. I urge you to continue learning, now that
you have cultivated the habit of doing so, and keep your
relationship with AeU. The vision of AeU is “To be a leader
and a premier educational hub in the promotion of affordable
and quality e-learning in Asia”. You have benefitted from this
vision; together, we can work towards realizing this vision
for others.

UNIVERSITY
PROFILE
AeU is a private tertiary education institution incorporated under the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996. Established
in 2007, AeU has grown to become one of a leading provider of open and distance learning (ODL) in Asia. As an ODL institution,
AeU’s focus is to provide accessible and affordable higher education for all. The University was brought into existence for a new
approach to tertiary education that gives rise to greater flexibility in learning. The philosophy is based on the belief that quality
education should be made available and accessible to all people regardless of demographics.
In just seven swift years, AeU has established a remarkable reputation as the acclaimed institution of choice which provides
knowledge acquisition for human capital needs in the region through e-education.
The University has been acclaimed with top honours and awards. Such are; as the winner of BrandLaureate Awards 2010 for
“Best Brand in Education - e-Education,” and the winner of the Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2010 under the “Most
Promising Entrepreneur” category. Additionally in 2012, the University was announced as the best ACD Project during the ACD
Meeting in Kuwait.
AeU currently offers more than forty (40) academic programmes at all levels, ranging from Diplomas to PhDs through five
(5) academic schools; the School of Management, School of Education & Cognitive Sciences, School of Information &
Communications Technology, School of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences and School of Graduate Studies. All academic
programmes are internationally benchmarked, approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) and accredited by the
Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). In addition AeU academic programmes are also recognised by several ACD member
and non-ACD countries. The University also offers more than two hundred (200) executive and professional programmes
through the School of Professional & Executive Education and School of Technical Education, Engineering & Re-skilling.
Since opening its doors in April 2007, AeU today has an enrolment of more than 16,000 students, and has graduated over
5,000 graduates. By delivering a world-class learning experience, AeU aspires to be the leader and the premiere educational
hub in promotion of affordable quality e-learning throughout Asia.
AeU is involved in the Ministry of Education’s teacher upgrading
programme (Program Pensiswazahan Guru) since March 2011. This
particular programme is to assist the Ministry of Education in their drive
to enhance the qualifications of local teachers in the country. More than
3,000 in-service teachers have enrolled in various fields of the Bachelor of
Education programmes.
AeU is one of the first few institutions in Malaysia to implement an Open
Entry System. This system awards entry to individuals who wish to pursue
tertiary education even with minimal formal credentials. This is done
by assessing their prior learning acquired through formal and informal
training, as well as work experiences that can compensate for the lack of
basic paper qualifications. Almost 20 percent of AeU’s enrolment is made
up of students who applied through open entry.
AeU is a private university incorporated under the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 (Act 555). Programmes offered at both undergraduate
and postgraduate levels are internationally benchmarked and approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) and accredited by the Malaysian

UNIVERSITY
TRADITIONS
Convocation
Paraphernalia
The university convocation represents the highlight of the
university year. It is a celebrated event when the university
publicly recognizes and rewards the achievements of the
students. The yearly university community ceremony is
conducted with a full university tradition and rituals. Among
the paraphernalia displayed are: the mace, the chair and the
various regalia of the different designations and degrees
conferred.
58
THE
MACE
The ceremonial mace, carried at the head of the procession,
symbolises both the status and standing of AeU as an
institution vested with the honour and responsibility of
imparting knowledge to its students. The mace bears
various intricate representations reflecting part of the
history, values and role of the University.
The ascending steps below the pentagon mirror the
adventurous path that students have to traverse in their
pursuit of success. The wider circumference as the steps
ascend indicates that higher goals are not easy to achieve
but as one soldiers on, both the knowledge and rewards
grow.
The mace is made of silver and chromed with gold that
symbolises the University’s governing authority and is used
only at official ceremonies where the Head is present to
signify the seriousness and depth of the ceremony. This
mace has five main representative parts to it:
Against a backdrop of a modern motive, the longest part of
the mace is embellished with seven parts and seven stripes
to reflect the university’s seven E’s of learning namely
Empowered, Enhanced, Exploratory, Expanding, Effective,
Electronic and Experiential learning.
The globe at the head of the mace is reflective of the global
out reach of the university in all respects – in the nature of
the knowledge it imparts, the personnel it employs as well
as the students it welcomes.
The motif that dominates the central focus of the mace is
derived from the basic triangle, with the peak representing
the highest goal. The abstract and non-linear shaped motive
is all encompassing in its universal acceptance of the people
it welcomes as well as the education approach it employs.
Below the globe, the pentagon that holds it, stands for
the University’s five key values which are Empowerment,
Excellence, Integrity, Creativity and Professionalism.
59
60
THE CEREMONIAL
CHAIR
The stature and distinction placed on the chair is paralleled
with the seat of honour of the highest ranking official of the
university during the convocation ceremony.
At its head is the logo of AeU crafted in silver. The colour
of the chair is combined with the red colour of AeU logo,
adding to its impressive status. The chair is made of Cengal
wood, a species of hard wood from Malaysia. The intricate
carvings on the chair are similar to the motifs on the mace.
The same motif that is the central focus of the design on the
mace is repeated on the chair. The central triangular shape
with the focus at the peak symbolises the highest point as
the goal. The modern motif depicted by the non-linear shape
symbolises universal concepts. Finally the candle like shape
symbolises the basic aim of an educational institution which
is to enlighten students and guide them with knowledge.
61
62
THE ACADEMIC
REGALIA

THE CHAIRMAN’S
AWARD
KUMARESAN A/L MUTHUSAMY
Kumaresan works full-time as a Head of Risk Management
and Quality Assurance at Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad.
He received his BSc. (Hons) in Economics from Universiti
Utara Malaysia (UUM) in 1999. He has 14 years experience
in the field of internal audit, compliance, enterprise risk
management, assurance and governance.
It took him six (6) years of research to find the university
that offers MBA with specialisation in Risk Management
before he found AeU. With encouragement from his wife,
two children and the circle of family members, he enrolled
for the AeU MBA programme in August 2012.
He finds the AeU MBA curriculum that combines eastern
and western perspectives with a special attention to Asian
business perspectives, is highly relevant to his professional
career and fits his ambition to be a competent Asian
business leader.
Also, the flexibility he enjoyed during his study, allows minimal
disruption to his family, work commitments and challenges
faced in adjusting his time and roles as a professional, a
husband and a father.
Kumaresan believes that the programme has definitely taken
him to greater heights, both, professionally and personally.
He likes the way the AeU MBA programme is run where it
enables him to broaden his knowledge in all aspects of the
corporate sector. The subjects offered are extremely useful
in developing his knowledge and ability to lead others in his
organisation.
His advise to prospective students is to invest in their future
with the AeU MBA. He is confident that AeU MBA graduates
will have an edge over others when they are equipped with
the skills that they will need in an ever increasing competitive
workplace. In addition to the academic rigour, the
programme also gives opportunities for students to further
develop their communication, leadership, interpersonal and
networking skills.

CHOW CHOI CHIN
Master of Education
Chow Choi Chin works full-time as an accountant at ALZAC
VIVA Sdn Bhd. She received her BSc. (Hons) in Accountancy
from University Malaya in 1996. She has been an accountant
for 18 years focusing on strategic planning, costing,
budgeting and credit administration.
Interestingly, her wish is to be an early childhood educator.
With encouragement from her husband and three children,
she enrolled for the Master of Education in 2010 at AeU,
specializing in Early Childhood Education.
Her most challenging task at AeU was striking a balance
between work, family and a life as a student. However, with
the support of AeU’s staff and academic facilitators who
were passionate in imparting knowledge, she continued
to strife to complete her degree. She also attributes her
success to the unwavering support of her family and fellow
classmates.
The e-learning paradigm adopted at AeU made available
all learning materials and online databases needed for
completion of assignments, preparation for examinations
and the research project. She had access to materials
anytime and anywhere at her own convenience making her
journey at AeU even more pleasant.
Chow feels that that the Master of Education degree has
given her confidence to be an effective educator and
perhaps venture into a different career path. She aims to
apply the ideas and principles learnt in the programme as
an early childhood educator.

She has been teaching English to young children for 18 years

individualised instruction to succeed.
With the encouragement of her husband and two children,
she registered with AeU to pursue the Bachelor Education
(TESL) in March, 2011. Her journey as an adult learner
has been most challenging having to juggle between work,
family and studying. She found the support accorded to
her by various academic facilitators and staff at AeU has
inspired her to push forward.
She finds the e-learning pedagogy adopted by AeU as
convenient giving her the flexibility in accessing learning
materials, discussing online whenever and wherever.
Her experience at AeU has broadened her perspective
of teaching English as a second language and provided
insights into how children learn.
It had been a long and arduous journey for Rathi, but
certainly a very rewarding experience. She owes her
success to the constant support of her husband, children

twists and turns but Adibah believes that as long as one
has passion the hurdles are urmountable and the journey
can be pleasant. Her family was most supportive during her
sojourn at AeU and hopes that her children will follow in her
footsteps. Her advice is to grab every opportunity to learn
and hopes to continue in doing a master’s of education.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
Bartholomew Michael
Cheng Chuen Sheila
Thesis Title:
The use of an integrated grammar-genre-based
writing approach to teach business writing skills
Thesis Title:
An investigation of the cognitive processes in solving
operational research problems among selected
business degree undergraduates in Malaysia
Brief Citation:
Brief Citation:
The pedagogical research shows that teachers can
teach effectively only when they have, among others, the
right approach and a module with a specific methodology
to teach the subject matter. A right approach and a
module with a specific methodology can pave the way
for the teacher to create an effective teaching scheme,
materials, lesson plan and assessment method. This
research also shows that both teachers and students
become highly motivated as it makes both the teaching
and learning process interesting and highly targetoriented.
This study explored the cognitive processes and
pathways used by Malaysian undergraduate business
degree students (UBD) in solving well-structured (WS)
and ill-structured (IS) OR problems. The findings from
this study reveal that the performance on the WS-OR
problem was different from, and independent of, the
IS-OR problems. Pathways to solving WS-OR and IS-OR
problems influenced the individual’s decision-making
outcomes. Emanating from these findings, a (6+1)-Rs
problem solving heuristic model has been proposed to
ameliorate the cognitive processes of students in solving
OR problems and the quality of decision making.
Bartholomew Michael is a writing researcher, teacher
trainer, lecturer in Business English, author and an exjournalist. He attributes his successful completion of the
tough and often exhaustive PhD research programme to
his wife’s loving support and his supervisor’s clear cut
dedication.
Sheila Cheng is a senior lecturer in the School of
Management, AeU. The PhD has made her see things in
this world in a critical but factual ways.

Thesis Title:
Implementation of the Southern African Development
Community protocol on education and training and
its impact on economic development : A case study
of Namibia and Zimbabwe
Thesis Title:
Team related factors influencing project
performance as perceived by project managers in
Malaysia
Brief Citation:
Brief Citation:
The study has analysed the nature of the challenges
preventing the effective implementation of SADC-PET.
It has also assessed and evaluated the effectiveness
of SADC-PET using Namibia and Zimbabwe as case
studies. The findings reveal that despite SADC-PET
clear goals of developing a comparable and harmonised
education and training policies in all SADC countries, this
is far from being achieved because each country is still
implementing its own national policies.
This research aims to help project managers to improve
their project performance by acting on some team
related factors which include their leadership roles, team
building & participation, team shared mental models,
team trust as well as team satisfaction. These factors
are empirically tested to impact project performance
significantly if they are acted upon by project managers.
The study has formulated appropriate recommendations
to ensure the operationalisation of SADC-PET; and
sensitise and influence interested researchers to advance
these findings through further research on the remaining
13 countries. He is currently Minister of Education,
Namibia and a Central Committee member of SWAPO
Party, the ruling party in Namibia.
David Namwandi is a founder of the first private University
in Namibia - 1994, with a current student population of
8,500 and with five satellite campuses around the
country. David Namwandi is convinced that the PhD has
enhanced his capacity and knowledge of the region and
beyond.
Fung Han Ping is working as an Enterprise Architect in
Hewlett-Packard Technology Consulting and managed a
series of projects in his earlier career. This PhD moulded
him to become a more matured researcher in conducting
social science research for knowledge contribution.

Thesis Title:
The Impact of human resource management
practices on the performance of Bahrain
Educational Institutes
Thesis Title:
A study of the stock market dynamics in Malaysia
1990-2013
Brief Citation:
Brief Citation:
This study attempts to understand how the Educational
Institutes in the Kingdom of Bahrain can improve the
performance of their employees to better achieve
targeted institutional goals and objectives. It is based
on a questionnaire-interview research that investigates
the relationships between a set of 5-Axis variables and
the impact of Human Resource Management Practices
(HRMP) and Human Resource Management Audit (HRMA)
on the said Educational Institutes. In conclusion, this
study recommends that future research in evaluating the
relationship between HRMA and HRMP dimensions should
cover more HR-solution measurable variables than the
intervening variables in this 5-Axis proposition.
This dissertation explores the empirical influence
of domestic and foreign factors on equity pricing in
Malaysia for the period 1990-2013. The findings indicate
that share prices and four key variables (inflation rate,
industrial production, money supply and US share price)
are cointegrated in the long run. However, Malaysia share
prices are not significantly affected by lagged information
from macroeconomic variables in the short run.
Hanan Assad is currently the principal of Ittihad Schools
in Jordan. Previously, she was in Bahrain over 17 years of
experience as a HR Manger, Administration and Finance
Manager, Principal and as a part time Lecturer.
Hanan Assad strongly believes that the findings of her
PhD work have helped the Educational Institutes in the
Kingdom of Bahrain to improve the performance of their
employees to better achieve targeted institutional goals
and objectives.
Kan Yoke Yue serves as the Deputy Dean of Faculty of
Business and Management, Southern University College
in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. To her, PhD is the Pursuit
of knowledge with Hard work and Dedication. The
completion of a PhD is not the end of a journey but rather
the start of a new life, as she can engage her future
academic works in a critical and intellectual way.

Thesis Title:
Teaching, learning and performing approaches
for classical guitar and piano: a case study at an
institute of higher learning in Malaysia
Thesis Title:
Determinants that influence adoption of mobile
technology in learning environment
Brief Citation:
Brief Citation:
This study draws meaning through contextual and
structural relations that define tri-partite hierarchical
framework and correlations in music teaching, learning
and performing. The arbitrary hurdles of non-literate and
literate approaches had been identified in this case study
which had recognised the unique variety of discourses
and domains in tertiary music learning.
The aim of this research is to investigate the salient
factors that influence the behavioural intention in the
adoption of mobile technology in learning environment.
This study confirmed that podcasting is an attractive
mobile medium for many contemporary students. It may
be useful for universities to incorporate podcasting in
their website to enhance student’s performance.
Lok Lay Hong is the Head of the Department of Music at
the Malaysian Institute of Art. She strongly believes that
the desiderata on creative music learning are predicated
upon musical practices in order to address the needs of
tertiary music students.
Manimekalai Jambulingam is a senior lecturer in Taylor’s
University, Malaysia. She strongly believes that the PhD
Degree has made her to think critically and intellectually.
She is also curious to explore her own boundaries and
abilities and to get off the beaten path and “work her way
through the woods”.

Thesis Title:
Valuation of intangibles – a case of private firms in
Vietnam
Thesis Title:
Recruitment and retention of academic staff in
selected Malaysian private universities
Brief Citation:
Brief Citation:
The main aim of this study is to gain insights of how
intangibles are valued during the equity transaction of
private firms in the context of emerging markets like
Vietnam. The research found that private equity investors
recognize intangibles as the value determinants of firms,
but they do not value intangibles independently. The final
(negotiated) price of intangibles is significantly influenced
by the transaction context - the main one being economic
outlook, competition amongst buyers, negotiation skills
of business owners and motivation of the buyer and
seller.
The thesis examines the structure of academic
employment in private universities and the challenges
faced in recruitment and retention of academic staff.
The study reveals that recruiting and retaining quality
academic staff, particularly at doctoral level and in the
fields of science, technology, and other specialized areas
are a major challenge for private universities. A model
for effective recruitment and retention was developed,
supported by a set of strategies to assist the leadership
of private universities to attract and retain academic
talents and compete effectively.
Nguyen Trung Thang has served as a lecturer, consultant
of business management and the President of Vietnam
Marketing & Management Institute. He believes that the
PhD is a good start of his further research and academic
journey.
Pradeep Nair is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Taylor’s
University, Malaysia. He believes that a PhD degree is
an intellectual journey into the unknown, peppered with
challenges, but amazingly rewarding to the mind and
soul.

Syed Hamid Bin Syed Jaafar Albar
Thesis Title:
Informal reasoning fallacy and critical thinking
disposition among Malaysian undergraduates
Thesis Title:
National interest in the foreign policy of Malaysia :
The Mahathir era (1981 - 2003)
Brief Citation:
Brief Citation:
The study reveals that a moderate performance was
shown by undergraduates in critical thinking. A newly
developed instrument termed as informal reasoning
fallacy test shows that fallacy detection and critical
thinking disposition work conjointly. In addition,
Malaysian undergraduates are not disadvantaged by their
background factors in their ability to detect fallacies and
to be disposed to think critically.
This study aims to show that the Foreign Policy of
Malaysia in the Mahathir Era 1981 - 2003 was determined
by National Interest in the realms of politics, economics,
security and society’s interests and imperatives.
Shamala Ramasamy is a senior lecturer and Head of
Research and Scholarly Activities at the Faculty of Social
Sciences and Liberal Arts, UCSI University, Malaysia. She
has been in the field of education for the past 16 years.
Ironically, she loves the lonely journey in her travel to
reach her destination. Despite her illness, she managed
to strive through to obtain her PhD.
This is demonstrated through foreign policy postures,
initiatives and outcomes that had consensus, relevance
and acceptance to allow Malaysia to play a leadership
role amongst the South-South countries, Islamic Ummah
and East Asia (including Asean). The research indicates
that domestic factors influenced the Foreign Policy of
Malaysia. Idiosyncrasy and iconoclasm is not a significant
factor, as there was change and continuity.
Syed Hamid Albar is currently Chairman of Suruhanjaya
Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD), Special Envoy of
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and a Council
Member of the Asian Peace and Reconciliation Council
(APRC). He strongly believes that the PhD Degree gives
him a better intellectual insight of the subject to appreciate
its academic perspective. It is an achievement that was
never expected at the age of 70.

Brief Citation:
Brief Citation:
The main aim of this study is to gain insights of how
Kuching city consumers are responded towards modern
retailers despite of the continuous existence of the
traditional retailers in the context of developing and
emerging retailing industries in Kuching city. The findings
discovered that products, prices, promotions, store
atmosphere, locations, and services have significant
impact on shopping choice of both modern and traditional
retail formats. The most important variables are services
and store atmosphere that influence city customers to
shop at modern retailers.
The aim of this study is to gain insights of how the
Malaysian automobile owners are influenced by loyalty
and repurchase intentions pertaining to their future
automobile purchase decisions in the context of the
Malaysian automotive industry. The findings indicated that
perceived equity and quality significantly influenced buyer
satisfaction and commitment which then significantly
influenced advocacy and repurchase intention of the
automobile buyers in Malaysia.
Awang Yusop is currently a full-time Lecturer in private
University in Kuching, Sarawak. He was pursuing his DBA
because of his vision to be a successful researcher and
full-time academician.
Pursuing the DBA qualification had been Simon’s life-long
dream. Simon just retired as a Banker. He is currently
an educational consultant and a full-time stock and
shares consultant. Simon’s DBA has been very useful
to make him a creative and critical thinker in his future
undertakings.

IN THE WORDS OF
AeU

LOCAL STUDENTS
“I chose AeU because it is well recognised and the lessons are scheduled to cater for working adults.
The AeU Knowledge Centre holds a large bank of invaluable resources to meet all my learning needs. This
facility plays an important role in supporting my research and for material sourcing. The best part is that
they have a wide range of online databases that can be accessed at my own convenience, whenever I
want and wherever I am.”
Stefanie Ng Soo Lee
Doctor of Philosophy (Business Administration)
“AeU IndD is an academically challenging experience for me. I had the opportunity to work closely with
experts in various fields who pushed me to think outside of my own experiences and to develop skills in
research, that prepared me to enter the workforce as a highly qualified professional. The education and
training I received has benefited me in innumerable ways, both professionally and personally.”
Tan Teik Kheong
Industrial Doctorate (IndD)
“I decided to undertake a doctorate mainly because I was concerned that I’d stopped learning. I found
myself naturally accumulating facts, ideas and concepts but in a random way, with no real structure,
overarching theory or indeed anything to really link them together. A doctorate felt like a good way to get
a deeper understanding of a specific topic, which I was passionate about, and to use it as a method to
actually learn how to do research, in a logical, practical way. I chose the AeU DBA because of its emphasis
on practical application, and it seemed well-suited me, someone who is running a business.”
Yeop Ali Mohd Dobi
“The university organises a number of research-related events to provide opportunities for DBA students
to engage actively in scholarly activities that enrich our research and learning experience. Events such
as research seminar series, research methodology workshops, academic forums and collaquiums are
some of the activities that encorage knowledge sharing dissemination of research information to create a
nurturing eco-system for us to engage actively in research.”
Nurul Aqma Anis
“I embarked on AeU MEd to improve my teaching skills. This programme has given me a very holistic view
and valuable insight into the field of education. My work schedule is fluid, I need to pace my study based on
time availability and convenience. AeU’s flexible mode of learning allows me to access learning materials
online, whenever I can and wherever I am. This makes it so easy to plan my study time effectively. The
flexibility is what attracts me to AeU.”
Amy Tan Swee Ching
Master of Education

LOCAL STUDENTS
““I have gained an abundance of knowledge, and it covered all the areas needed to have a solid foundation
in teaching ESL. This programme provided very valuable experience, not only have the classes taught me
the skills that go into good teaching but have also given me the opportunity to put those concepts into
practice in a supportive and encouraging environment. AeU’s blended learning method is highly valued by
teachers who demand learning that can be tailored to suit our schedule. I am happy because I could draw
up my own learning routine without getting it entangled with my personal commitments.”
Devappriya a/p Thevabalendran
“For me the AeU pledge to ‘Personalised Learning’ is its hallmark trait. AeU accommodates to my learning
style and provides me with a personalised and adaptive learning support. I am able to structure my own
learning, at a pace of my choice and adopt learning modes that can complement my lifestyle.”
Shalina Kaur a/p Bhupinder Singh
“The university has taken great efforts to improve the quality of its programmes and services to ensure
that they meet all our needs. I find myPLS, the University’s Learning Management System, truly appealing.
myPLS provides me with more flexibility than in a normal classroom, for it allows me to access learning
materials online, whenever and wherever I am.”
Sophia Choong Wei Ping
“What made my PhD from AeU so great was the quality of supervision and the underlying ethos of the
School of Graduate Studies - its focus on the careful mentoring of PhD students, supporting academic
progress and encouraging us to strive for the very best levels of scholarly work.”
Dr. Ho Nee Yong
Alumnus
Doctor of Philosophy (Education)
“To remain relevant, I need to adapt to changing market demands by learning new skills. The only way to
do so is through AeU’s lifelong learning programme. The programme has given me a broader perspective
and greater insights into business best practices. The independent learning environment has honed my
critical thinking skills and made me a more strategic thinker. Now, I am better in evaluating issues and
making important decisions at work.”
Sabahanim Mohd Noor

“The programme prepares me to take lead in today’s fast growing field of information technology. It has
been an incredible experience. The programme has not only trained me in applied researched based
thinking, but has also broadened my understanding of ICT area. The greatest experience of all has been
to prove to myself that I was capable of overcoming the intellectual challenge to conduct research at PhD
level.”
Latesh Kumar KJ
Doctor of Philosophy (Information & Communication Technology)
India
“The AeU MBA programme adopts an interactive style of teaching, creating a vibrant learning environment
in the classroom. The academic facilitators constantly encourage our participation in tutorial sessions
which fosters critical thinking and deepens conceptual understanding. Practically, this equips us with the
ability to appreciate situations and make more measured decisions at our workplace. The icing on the
cake is that we make good friends and have fun while we learn.”
Ngo Ba Duc
Vietnam
“Going through AeU MBA programme has been an amazing experience. The superb academic facilitators
shared not only theoretical knowledge but also practical work experiences from different fields. This
served as a strong learning platform to expand my understanding of business operations, strategy and
knowledge of different industries. It has been an incredibly challenging yet very fun-filled experience for
me.”
Eresha Kumburulanda

leadership role in the IT industry. Along with exposure to details in management and business processes
behind the industry, MICTM provides an unparalleled, interactive learning experience and outstanding
instructors and academic facilitators.”

“My dream to participate in adding knowledge to my field of specialization started back in 2007 after a
research Seminar I attended in India. The dream got shape when I secured admission into PhD in Business
Administration with Asia e University in May 2012 after having learnt about the quality of the programme
offered by AeU. I have now evidence based decision that Asia e University is a University to be proud of:
its flexibility, quality, professionalism that is congruent to the working students who at the same time need
to advance in their career. For Africa, I want to stand as reference point to help millions who might be
sharing my dream towards having a place for their career with over 50 learning centers around the world
and support of 33 ACD member countries. ”
John Momanyi Ongubo
Doctor of Philosophy (Business Administration)
Somalia
“The AeU MBA programme has always been my first choice. It offers me an ideal programme that is in
line with my learning expectations to study MBA with a specific focus on Asian business within a global
context. I find the curriculum that combines eastern and western perspectives with a special attention to
Asian business perspectives, is highly relevant to my professional career, thus fits my goal to become a
competent Asian business leader. Worth noting, the flexible learning experience that I enjoy during study,
allows minimal disruption to my family and my work commitments. It also helps me to overcome the
challenges that I face in adjusting my time and roles as a professional, a husband and a father. ”
Tuan Mohamed Anif Sallay
Sri Lanka
“The AeU MBA, with its well-structured curriculum, helps me to gain insights into contemporary business
concepts and taught me how to apply them in real world situations. The real world corporate experience,
helped to enhance my analytical abilities and to understand and tackle complex business challenges with
a balanced perspective. The programme has imparted to me not just a suite of business management
know-how, but also helped me to look at business issues from a global perspective and equipped me with
the necessary leadership skills to be a better manager.”
Tran Thi Khanh Phuong
Vietnam

e-library system, convenient and conducive learning environment. This is the place where we, students

models based on real-world business experience.”
