Once Upon a Time - With PM Najib during Cyber Campus Launches

I found a piece of news published in local newspaper in 1997. That was a day to remember throughout my life. A showcase of how we can perform online transaction using Smart Card to the Prime Minister DS Najib, who was then the Education Minister. He launched a UTM 'Cyber Campus' initiatives with various application as a flagship of smart campus.

And, i lead the development of UTM 'Cyber Cafe' module where students, staff, and visitors would be able to perform online  transaction via e-wallet. Money in your smart card ... It's cool huh!! Smart card was relatively new back then ... Our Identity Card were still using the old blue laminated with 7 digit number and not even a smart card yet.

PM DS Najib ordered 'Teh Tarik' using the smart card

Thank you to my partner - Zairudin Jamaluddin and Prof Dr Abd Hanan Abdullah for guidance.
