"I have learned how to be a serious academic researcher at Monash. But also, I think the fact that Monash is a well-known institution has also given me the credibility and also the self-confidence to go forth.

"I'm never embarrassed to say where I graduated from, you know, I say, 'I'm from Monash'.

"If I have to choose, I must say that the weekly discussions at the Centre of Southeast Asian Studies was one of the most enjoyable times that I had at Monash.

"I think that one of the most personal satisfactions I have of Monash is that Monash continues to remember me as one of its alumni and I'm very proud to have been awarded this distinguished award."
