The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), is immensely proud to celebrate our medical students, Lim Jun Jie and Kishor Kumar Devar, whose research abstracts were selected for oral presentations at Diabetes Asia 2026—a prestigious international conference organized by the National Diabetes Institute (NADI) and hosted at voco Kuching Hotel.
Although they did not receive awards this time, having their abstracts accepted and presenting alongside healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and dietitians from different parts of the world, is an achievement worth celebrating.
The dedication, preparation and courage required to share their research on an international platform are commendable.
We encourage our students to take pride in this experience, which has provided valuable opportunities for learning, academic growth and professional development. Achievement is not measured by awards alone, but also by the knowledge gained, challenges overcome and courage to take the next step.
Our sincere appreciation goes to the supervisors, Assoc. Prof. Dr Ling Hwei Sung, Dr Grace Chua Pin Fen and Dr Joshua Chung, for their guidance and mentorship, as well as the FMHS and Student Affairs and Alumni Division (HEPA) for supporting the students.
Congratulations to our students and supervisors! May this experience inspire further growth and future achievements.
