“As we celebrate Malaysia Day, we should commit our spirit to the challenges of nation-building” said Sammy Chong Poh Chin, Programme Executive from the Department of Art and Design, Sunway University. Chong’s “Tiger Cup” which features the Malaysian Tiger and Hibiscus won the first prize in the Starbucks Cup Design Competition. The competition entitled “Romancing My Malaysia” was in collaboration with Kakiseni, organised in conjunction with Malaysia Day.
Sunway University student Shannon Chan Ziali, took home the second prize with “Comic Cup”. The semester four student of Diploma in Graphic and Multimedia Design said, ”I did the design in comic form because I didn't want it to just be a static drawing. I also wanted to tell a story (literally) through my design and thought the most appropriate text to use were the lyrics of our national anthem, the Negaraku.”
