A Path to Personal and Professional Growth
Kemerol Harith Daniel Bin Kemerolzeman Su’ut, a 24-year-old former professional hockey player, is currently undergoing a six-month training program at INSTEP as part of the Oil and Gas Wakalah Technical Programme (OGWTP) Batch 2. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude towards INSTEP and Yayasan Pendidikan MAIDAM (YPM) for their pivotal role in executing the programme.
The youngest of three siblings, Daniel grew up with his single mother after his father’s passing in 2008. With the financial support of his brother, Daniel pursued his passion for hockey at Sekolah Sukan Bukit Jalil (SSBJ), a premier national sports school, where he meld his discipline over four years, a quality he continues to value deeply in his studies at INSTEP. Although he had the opportunity to play professionally for Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Thunder Bolt in 2018, Daniel prioritised education, as he is aware of the challenges and limited opportunities for sustainable growth in Malaysia’s sports sector.
Now, as one of the select learners in the OGWTP Batch 2.0, which commenced in October 2024, Daniel is eager to deepen his knowledge in the mechanical field. The Terengganu born lad aspires to contribute to the state’s energy sector upon graduation in February 2025. Daniel’s ambition is to support his family and give back to the community while balancing his passion for hockey as a part-time coach for MRSM Kuala Berang and the Hulu Terengganu District team. His journey embodies resilience, and dedication, values that will drive him forward in both his professional and athletic endeavours.
As for Muhammad Shahrizal Bin Ramli, 18, being one of the youngest in the batch never held him back from standing out in his class. When he received his SPM results last June, he started his post-SPM life as a cooking assistant and ultimately climbing the ladder to become lead chef in a well-established café in Gong Badak.
Aware that his family is underprivileged in a financial sense, Shahrizal, as the youngest son to wet market wholesaler and a housewife, is determined to take the chance to improve his livelihood, starting from the first step, joining OGWTP in INSTEP. Motivated by a desire to uplift his family’s financial circumstances, he seized the opportunity to join OGWTP at INSTEP as his first step toward a brighter future. Over the course a month at INSTEP, he nurtured his passion for the mechanical field, dedicating himself to study alongside his batchmates and benefiting from the guidance of experienced instructors.
Despite his busy schedule in INSTEP, Shahrizal as the only son living with his parents, he did not neglect his duty to his parents. He spent his weekends helping his father to sell groceries at wet market, a vital source of income that supports their family. His unwavering dedication to both his education and his family wellbeing exemplifies a rare blend of perseverance, and compassion, and a testament to his commitment to transforming his life and honouring the sacrifices his family has made for him.
The inspiring journeys of these two young asnafs, who were given a chance to improve their education lives started from INSTEP, stand as powerful reminders of the transformative impact of opportunity and education. As the preferred technical solutions partner, INSTEP remains committed in its mission to advancing national TVET development and contributing to the Terengganu B40 community through the OGWTP programme.
