Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) with CPA Australia

At UNIRAZAK, we proudly celebrate Mas Dalila, a PNB Scholar and graduate from the School of Accounting and Taxation (SAT) who completed her Bachelor of Accounting with CPA Australia — a demanding academic path that reflects discipline, resilience, and courage.

Now serving as an Account Executive at EV Connection, a company specialising in EV charger installations and solar panel solutions, Mas Dalila manages trade financing, supplier payments, and project financing with precision. Her journey stands as a testament to a Razakian who faced life’s hardest moments with strength, embraced challenge over comfort, and broke through with determination and grace.

Receiving the Best Student Award is truly an honour, and I’m deeply grateful for the recognition. What kept me going was my determination to always outdo myself — not in comparison with others, but through healthy self-competition.

I constantly challenged myself to achieve better results than before, and that mindset pushed me to give my best academically. Knowing that every effort counted motivated me to stay consistent and focused throughout my journey.

My most difficult challenge came early in my studies when I lost a family member during my first semester. It was an experience I never expected, and it tested me emotionally in ways I couldn’t control. Despite the pain, I had to find the strength to stand up again and continue.

To me, “Breaking Through” means stepping out of my comfort zone and learning to adapt in the most uncomfortable situations. This was especially true when studying for my CPA papers, which required a completely different approach from my degree studies.

I had to stay agile, try new study methods, and trust myself to complete the programme in one go. Each challenge shaped my resilience and strengthened my belief that I could move forward, no matter how difficult the moment felt.

One of the things I’m most grateful for is being awarded the PNB Scholarship — without it, I may never have had the opportunity to study at UNIRAZAK and experience five meaningful years surrounded by supportive friends and lecturers. Every person I met contributed to my growth, but I’m especially thankful to my SAT lecturers, Madam Chong, Sir Mattno, and Mr Jay, whose guidance, knowledge, and encouragement shaped both my academic journey and personal development.

As I move forward, I don’t limit myself to a fixed path or title. I see my academic achievement as a stepping stone that opens doors to opportunities I may not yet see. To future Razakians, my advice is simple: keep doing what you’re good at, stay open, and don’t remain in your comfort zone for too long. Never regret the past — keep moving forward. One day, you’ll look back and realise that every bittersweet moment was part of your breakthrough.
