Miri – 29 October 2013 – The first CPA Australia Young Professional Leaders Entrepreneurial Challenge 2013 jointly organised by CPA Australia Young Professionals Network and CPA Australia Student Charter Curtin Sarawak (CPAASC) was recently held at the campus of Curtin University, Sarawak Malaysia (Curtin Sarawak) here.

Attended by undergraduate business and engineering students of Curtin Sarawak, the entrepreneurial challenge provided a platform for students to present their business ideas, as well an opportunity for them to network and exchange ideas with fellow students and industry professionals.

During the challenge, each team of four members was given RM500 as capital to start up their business. They were given two weeks to earn as much profit as possible and prepare a business report with a financial statement.

At the final presentation, each team was given five minutes to present their business ideas to the judges and persuade them to invest in their businesses.

The judges were Chairman of CPA Australia Young Professionals Network Shaun Lee; CPA Australia Divisional Councillor (Malaysia) Dr. Edward Lim; CPA Australia Young Professionals Network Committee Member Zen Chow; and Head of the Department of Accounting at Curtin Sarawak’s School of Business, Dr. Anbalagan Krishnan.
