ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The internship opportunity I had with Kobe Precision Technology(KPTec) Sdn Bhd
was a great chance for learning and professional development. Therefore, I consider myself as
a very lucky individual as I was provided with an opportunity to be a part of it. I am also
grateful for having a chance to meet so many wonderful people and professionals who led me
through this internship period.

Bearing in mind previous I am using this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude

and special thanks to En Ahmad Akmal, Chemical and Environmental engineer, who in spite
of being extraordinarily busy with his duties, took time out to hear, guide and keep me on the
correct path hence allowing me to complete my internship programme at this esteemed
organization.

I also express my deepest thanks to COO of KPTec for taking me to experience my

work in the future and giving necessary advices, guidance and arranged all facilities to make
my life there easier. So, I choose this moment to acknowledge his contribution gratefully.

It is my radiant sentiment to place on record my best regard, deepest sense of gratitude

to both my mom and dad, Mr Mohd Roslan and Mrs Radziah Yusof for the transportation,
money to fill the fuel, as without them I might not be able to wake up early in the morning to
go and finish my practical. Besides to my visiting lecturer, Dr Shafreeza Sobri who put an
effort and willing to come from Selangor straight to Penang to make a visit and see my progress
here.

I perceive this opportunity as a big milestone in my career development. I will strive to

use gained skills and knowledge in the best possible way. I also will continue to work on their
improvement if I have get a chance to secure my place there after graduating in order to attain
desired career objectives. Hope to continue and be a team with the organisation in the future.

Sincerely,
