44th WorldSkills Competition 2017
Muhammad Zafhir Bin Nordin
With an eye for detail, it’s no wonder that Muhammad Zafhir is such a talented visual merchandiser. Zafhir is looking forward to doing Singapore proud in the upcoming WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017 competition.
Zafhir shared that his family and friends are his main sources of strength. Whenever he feels down or stressed, his loved ones have helped him feel less lonely, and encouraged him to keep going and overcome his challenges. He also credits his lecturers for guiding him through tough times. “I learnt not to feel discouraged and see the value of hard work. This competition has truly changed how I perceive myself and how I see things. I will always stay passionate, be true to myself and be the best that I can be.”
Low Wei Ting
As a finalist for Aircraft Maintenance, Low Wei Ting not only has to be physically strong but also delicate and precise to properly use aircraft maintenance equipment and tools.
Wei Ting is grateful to his family, lecturers, trainers, and friends who support him and give him the strength to complete each day’s gruelling and exhausting training. Wei Ting is glad that his WorldSkills experience has made him more confident. He takes the initiative to learn more about his skill area, and is always trying to improve.
In addition to his goal of bringing back a medal from WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017, Wei Ting also hopes he will pick up tips, skills and expertise from fellow participants. He would like to share this knowledge with everyone back home.
Muhammad Danial Bin Suboh
Even before his ‘O’ Levels, budding chef Muhammad Danial Bin Suboh wanted to pursue a career in the culinary arts. His passion grew as he helped his mother in the kitchen and watched cooking shows such as Masterchef.
Danial has deferred his National Service to train intensively for the competition. “I practise cooking with different ingredients everyday so that I’ll know what to do if I’m given those ingredients. Then I’ll write down the recipe and keep practising to make the dish perfect before I move on to the next ingredient and dish.”
Eljer Chua and Clarence Lim Yi An
Keeping calm and composed is one of the most important mantras for Eljer Chua and Clarence Lim when they train for WorldSkills and participate in competitions. Other than learning mechanical assembly, programming and troubleshooting skills, the duo has also undergone peak performance training sessions that taught them how to react when something goes wrong.
“We’ve come to realise the importance of staying calm and composed during the actual competition. We were taught how to focus on solving the problem instead of being shocked and panicky. I believe these skills will also benefit us when we start our working lives,” shared Eljer.
Austin Teo Jun Yi
Austin Teo is looking forward to meeting fellow competitors in the IT Solutions for Business category. Working hard to hone his skills, Austin shared “I’ve been practising and mentally preparing myself for this competition. Besides working through IT problems, I go for regular runs to keep myself fit and focused. I’ve also been seeking the advice of my coaches and other professionals who have a wealth of experience. This helps me to better understand how I can improve.”
Wong Shu Ting and Raymond Tay Sze Seng
Building their skillsets in mechanical work, electrical work and programming, Wong Shu Ting and Raymond Tay hope to make Singapore proud by doing well in the Mobile Robotics skill area.
Shu Ting and Raymond have been consistently challenging their limits and putting in a lot of commitment into learning their trade. This dedication has made both Shu Ting and Raymond more confident in their decision-making. “The training allows us to see things from a different perspective,” said Shu Ting. “It makes me think about problems differently, and helps me adapt to real life situations.”
Keon Ho Yi Shu
There’s a sense of adventure in taking things apart just to figure out ways to put them back together. It takes a maker’s spirit like Keon Ho’s, to know what makes things tick.
Keon puts into practice what he learnt from his Diploma in Electrical Engineering course by training intensively in the Industrial Control skills category. While working under pressure, the goal-getter also makes sure to ask questions and seek advice from his coaches and mentors. His advice for those keen in WorldSkills? “Go for it and persevere!”
Low Kin Lin
Low Kin Lin is an aspiring graphic designer who has an interest in branding and packaging. Joining the competition has helped Kin Lin become a more efficient and effective designer. Through the daily exercises, designed by her coaches, Kin Lin is well-prepared and eager to meet and learn from designers who are also participating in the competition. She shares that training has not been easy. “You have to fully dedicate yourself to improving your skills and tenacity, but it will be a rewarding experience.”
Rachel Ho Min Li
“Don’t get into it for monetary rewards, but rather have an interest in the trade area you have chosen” – This is Rachel Ho’s advice for anyone who hopes to follow in her footsteps. “Otherwise there won’t be much motivation to learn,” she adds.
As a WorldSkills competitor, Rachel believes that the most important thing is to have fun during both the training and the competition itself, and to learn from fellow competitors. This, she feels, will help alleviate stress and motivate the team.
