Muhammad Hafiz Bin Nasri and Muhammad Nur Zharfan WorldSkills Singapore Silver Medalists Diploma in Engineering Systems & Management Students Meet Muhammad Hafiz Bin Nasri and Muhammad Nur Zharfan, who have been friends since their time at the Institute of Technical Education. Their passion for engineering, particularly rail networks, led them to pursue RP School of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Systems & Management (DESM). To further hone their expertise in the subject, they took part in WorldSkills Singapore, competing in the rapid transit system skill area. Hafiz and Zharfan trained extensively with SMRT and SBS Transit to prepare for the competition, and they eventually won the Silver medal. Reflecting on their WorldSkills journey, Hafiz said, "We complement each other well. Zharfan is very strong in theory, while I am better at hands-on work. I think our good teamwork made a difference. We learnt so much in our journey. But it would not have been possible without our lecturers and coach.
