Honesty within students in Sunway College

Yong Geok San all smiles after her smart phone was returned to her by Mahmoodreza Mirzakhalili with Mr Gopal Kandasamy (center), Manager of the Security Department. 

Mahmoodreza Mirzakhalili may be miles away from home but has not forgotten one of the values he has been taught in his life- Honesty. This Iranian student is currently doing his Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP) in Sunway College. On 20 April, 2011 Mahmoodreza found a ‘Blackberry’ Smartphone next to the student locker located beside the Manchester Business School. He took the smartphone and immediately handed it over to the Security officer at the Security department.

Within an hour and a half, Yong Geok San, a Malaysian student also from the CIMP walked in to the security department reporting that she had lost her Blackberry smartphone. The phone was handed over to Yong Geok San by Mahmoodreza Mirzakhalili at about 5.00pm. The Director of Operations, Mr Tan Kheng Loon witnessed the handing over of the smartphone.

The phone is estimated to be worth RM1, 000. Sunway College would like to commend Mahmoodreza Mirzakhalili for his quick action and honesty.
