Convocation ceremony

Convocation ceremonies are highly important for all students and their families, and for all faculty and staff members as well. It is a time for celebration of all the academic accomplishments, to acknowledge the students for successfully completing their tiring journeys and finally getting their hard earned education degrees.

However, this big moment was particularly even more special and heart-warming for this 65-year-old mother, as she steps on stage on the behalf of her late daughter.
On Sunday, Cheng Lak Mooi was moved to tears as she hears the name of her late daughter Ng Yi Ming, who was called to posthumously receive her doctorate at the 23rd Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) convocation ceremony. The mother walks up on stage to accept her daughter&rsquo;s scroll from the Sabah Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin on the morning of June 26.
&ldquo;I am very happy to be able to fulfil the wishes of my late daughter to attend and receive the scroll on her behalf, '' Cheng said.

Ng Yi Ming was awarded the PhD in Psychology from UMS, after previously obtaining her Bachelor of Industrial and Organisational Psychology from the same university, and her Master of Science in Child Development Psychology from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).
"She was a very diligent and very tenacious person. We are very proud of her as she managed to do well academically despite suffering from a heart condition," Cheng said.
According to her mother, Ng Yi Ming had made her PhD presentation on January 21st 2021 and was given three months to correct her thesis, however she was not able to do so, as she took her last breath on February 21st 2021, after battling a heart condition called &lsquo;mitral valve prolapse&rsquo; for more than 20 years, and after undergoing a high-risk surgery in 2014, which led to her often suffering from heart palpitations.

The mother and the rest of Ng's family are extremely proud of her because despite facing poor health, Ng Yi Ming showed tenacity and high determination to complete her studies, and was able to attain high achievements.
Let Ng Yi Ming be an inspiration and a reminder to the rest of us to never give up on what we are pursuing despite the harsh obstacles we face in life.&nbsp;
