JOHOR BAHRU, Mar 31 – Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) is honoured to announce the selection of one of its stellar students, Muhamad Amirul Danish Amran, from the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Technology (FEST), as an RHB Campus Ambassador for the 2026 cohort. This achievement is particularly significant as Amirul is the sole representative from UTM, placing him among the nation’s elite. He successfully navigated a highly competitive selection process, emerging as one of only 30 students chosen from a massive pool of over 700 applicants across 20 public universities in Malaysia. His selection secures UTM’s representation in this prestigious national talent development programme, highlighting the quality of talent nurtured at the university.

The rigorous selection process required candidates like Amirul to submit a solid professional resume and participate in an intensive, in-person interview. Key criteria emphasised a strong Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and a solid overall background, ensuring that Amirul and his fellow ambassadors possess the essential combination of academic excellence and high potential for professional growth. This focus underscores that the RHB Campus Ambassador programme seeks out well-rounded individuals ready to take on the challenges of corporate ambassadorship.

The programme’s core mission is designed to develop future leaders while achieving key institutional goals. This includes strengthening Brand Awareness, where Amirul will be instrumental in positioning RHB as the top choice for financial products among university students. Furthermore, the initiative is dedicated to boosting Financial Literacy.

Amirul will be entrusted with educating his peers at UTM on key aspects of responsible financial management, including smart money practices, sound investment strategies, and essential digital security to combat fraud.

Ultimately, this programme serves as a critical Talent Development channel, designed to identify high-potential candidates like Amirul for a fast-track pathway into RHB Banking Group’s competitive graduate programme upon graduation.

As an RHB Campus Ambassador, Amirul will receive a comprehensive benefits package to accelerate his professional journey. Key development opportunities include Exclusive Access to RHB’s operations and corporate events, which helps build a clear Career Pathway, potentially translating into priority for internships or graduate programmes. He will benefit from Support and Guidance through mentorship and training from RHB professionals, and gain invaluable Networking Opportunities with bank management and fellow ambassadors. Furthermore, his commitment will be recognised with formal Recognition and Rewards, including an official Certificate, exclusive RHB-branded merchandise (Cool Swags), and gift Vouchers.

The 2026 cohort, including Amirul, officially commenced their journey with a mandatory Onboarding Day held at the RHB Complex in Bangi on 31 March 2026. The event began with registration in the morning, serving as the foundational roadmap for the year.
