News & Events

Dato' Logistician Chang Kah Loon, FCILT, FLogM; Log. Ts. Amy Ooi, FCILT, FLogM; and Log. Eunice Chang, CMILT, MLogM, recently met over coffee to discuss several key topics, including programme structure, lecturers, students, and activities. 

Their shared goal was to strengthen AK Academy 勤 略 學 院 in Penang by enriching the academic environment and improving the overall learning experience for its students.

A concern was raised: many SPM, UEC, and STPM school leavers are choosing not to continue their studies, attracted by the gig economy's flexible jobs and freedom from the traditional 9-to-5 working hour. However, Dato' Chang stressed that the gig economy doesn't offer long-term stability, especially as people age.

Young people are therefore strongly encouraged to reconsider pursuing a certificate, diploma, or degree, which can provide a more secure and stable future.

Dato' Chang also highlighted the important role maritime logistics plays in global trade, making up over 90% of world commerce. As this sector grows, there is a rising need for more professional logisticians. Logistics education and training are key to meeting this demand.

 Dato’ Chang is the President of The Society of Logisticians Malaysia - Pertubuhan Pakar Logistik Malaysia (LogM), Chairman of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport - Penang Section, Director of AK Shipping 勤 略 航 運, and Chief Executive of AK Academy 勤 略 學 院.
