As some of my friends know, previously I joined AIESEC in 2007/2008 term and I met her in person and had some discussion related to AIESEC's development. No doubt, she is a very outstanding person who not only good in management but also good in personality. Believe me, not many youth is able to sit at the position where she is sitting right now. Malaysian including me should proud to have such a great person for representing us in bringing our pride to a greater high.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and wish you all the best in your journeys of AIESEC.
