Malaysian Governor Receiving Honorary Ph.D. at PKNU
- Perak Governor Zambry in Malaysia, receiving the honorary Ph.D. in Fishery Science
Pukyong National University (PKNU, President Maeng Eon Park) awarded Perak Governor Zambry Abd Kadir the honorary doctorate degree in Fishery Science in Leadership Hall on the third floor of Dongwon Jangbogo building at Deayeon Campus, PKNU.
Governer Zambry was born in Pang kor island, Perak, where fishing industry thrives, as a son of a fisherman. He is particularly interested in fisheries and maritime affairs and thus he is devoting himself to the economic development of the country based on the development of the fisheries industry.
Malaysia has a coastline of 4,674㎞ and an exclusive economic zone of 334,671㎢ with a great potentiality of producing rich marine products. Recently, Malaysia takes further steps to developing and spreading marine science and technology such as fisheries and fish culture with the purpose of promoting the fishing industry.
In his speech on the day, Governor Zambry said, “I am much honored and grateful to receive this honorary Ph.D. even though I’m a son of a fisherman from a country far away from here.” “I will try to build up the mutual cooperation in human resources and education between the two countries in the future,” he also added.
Taking this as an opportunity, PKNU is planning to find ways to mutual prosperity through close international cooperation such as supporting Malaysia’s economic development by sharing fisheries and marine information.<Translator ; Park Si Hyeong, heartfulmind@naver.com>
