A graduation ceremony

To become alumni of International Islamic University College (IIUC), students must participate in graduation ceremony. For the ritual, students must wear green rob and black cap. Then they must queue up to enter into hall. In the hall “selawat” music will play to welcome the students came in. After that, they must sit together in a group in front of the stage. They sit separately with their parent to differentiate between them. Next, the ceremony starts with speech from YAD Dato’ Setia Hj Mohmad Azib Mohd Isa who is chairman of Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS). The climax of the ritual is when a chairman of the ceremony calls student’s name. When the students hear their name, they walk up to and across the stage. Then the most important person (Dato’ Setia) of the ceremony gives a scroll for each student. The scroll symbolizes success. That is, it means that the students are successful to complete the study. It is not easy to finish the study if not have effort and patient. After that, they shake hands. At this point, student becomes a member of the alumni and sits back with the other members. Lastly, all the members take a picture to make a memory.
