TheMIND of Champions 2013 - Summary
------------------------------------
TheMIND of Champions 2013 (MOC'13) was successfully held on December
14, 2003 at Seri Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. This program, first of
its kind, was aimed at motivating our youth (including students) to
propel forward in their academic and professional pursuits. MOC'13
featured Tan Sri Dr Mani Jegathesan, the 'Flying Doctor' who was once
Asia's fastest man, and Mr Ramasamy K Veeran, Founder and Managing
Director of Merchantrade Asia Sdn Bhd, as inaugural speakers.
In the first power talk, Tan Sri Dr Mani Jegathesan described his
pathway to success as a sportsman, medical doctor and scientist by
giving an interesting A to Z on how he swam against the tide to
triumph in capacities not many have even come close to. He stressed
that in the journey of achieving championship (not just sports, but
every social endeavor), the mind drives, controls and moderates every
activity that leads to achieving the desired outcome.
In the second power talk, Mr Ramasamy K Veeran gave participants an
insight into what it took for him to grow Merchantrade Asia into a
leading award-winning company. He described his struggle in his early
years and how he took the plunge of starting a business at a time when
the Asian financial crisis was looming. He shaped his entrepreneurial
pathway by being steadfast about being on top of his game. He stressed
on determination of the mind and spirit.
MOC’13 attracted 144 participants, who came from as far north as
Sungai Petani, Kedah and as far south as Batam, Indonesia. MOC’13 also
featured the presentation of TheMIND Award for excellent achievements
in undergraduate studies. The four recipients of TheMIND Award for

Nair Saseedharan (MMU) and Nallyswari Thiagarajan (UMP).
MOC’13 registered an approval rating of almost 100% based on written
evaluation collected from about 40% of the participants.
