Message from the Chairman of the
Board of Directors
On behalf of the Board of Directors, heartiest
congratulations to all graduates.
Together with your family members, friends
and dedicated Swinburne staff who have
taught you throughout your studies, we
are proud to witness this significant event
today. It is your hard work, commitment and
sacrifices that have brought you to receive
the internationally recognised Swinburne
testamur. At this graduation event, not only do
we celebrate your success but also recognise
the support your family, friends and lecturers
have played in your university journey.
I am proud to acknowledge that graduates
from Swinburne’s Sarawak campus are
pursuing careers throughout the country
and abroad. Many are employed by the
Top 100 global brands in industries such
as financial services, manufacturing, oil
and gas, construction, computing,
transportation, pharmaceutical and others.
Because Swinburne Sarawak graduates
are awarded the same internationally
recognized Australian qualification by our
home campus in Melbourne, Australia, they
have wider career options across the globe.
Swinburne will continue to provide a high-
quality Australian education and we have
invested RM50 million to further modernise
facilities including teaching and learning spaces,
accommodation, the cafeteria and student
hub. The infrastructural upgrades are vital to
enhancing 21st century student experience
in preparing them for the future of work in a
digital-led environment.
Your graduation today is certainly not an end
goal in itself but a launching point for further
achievements. I hope your experience at
Swinburne Sarawak has enriched your growth
as an individual and open many opportunities
for you in the future.
Once again, congratulations.
The Honourable
Tan Sri Datuk Amar (Dr) Haji Mohamad
Morshidi Bin Abdul Ghani
Chairman of the Board of the Directors

I trust Swinburne’s personalised, industry

focused education has better prepared you
for your career. Our professional placements
and internships, accreditation placements,
industry study tours and industry-linked
projects, flexible learning and student
mobility options, as well as student
development programmes are just
some of what we refer to as ‘The
Swinburne Advantage’. I hope you have
had the opportunity to be part of these
activities where students gain valuable
industry insights and network with
professionals from multiple disciplines.

History of the university

The Swinburnes lived for many generations
in Northumberland, in the north of England.
In early times, the family owned a castle on
the banks of the Swin Burn, the brook of the
boars. By 1245 the Swinburne coat of arms
was ‘Gules: three boars heads argent’.
In recent years, Swinburne has progressed
to become one of the world’s leading
research-intensive teaching universities and
a leader in online education, expanding the
educational opportunities available to a new
generation of learners.

George Swinburne arrived in Melbourne Swinburne’s emphasis is on high-quality,

in 1886, aged twenty-five. His early days in
Melbourne were spent setting up gas plants
and bringing gas-light to the cities and towns.
As his business stature increased, he entered
State Parliament and became a minister.
engaged teaching and research in science,
technology and innovation – teaching and
research that makes a difference in the lives
of individuals and contributes to national
economic and social objectives.

Swinburne was established as the Eastern Swinburne holds a unique place among

to Swinburne Technical College, to
commemorate the Honourable George
Swinburne. Soon afterwards, a boys’
junior technical school and the first girls’
technical school were established.

Following an extensive reorganisation of

advanced education in Victoria in the late
1970s, Swinburne was given the power to
grant bachelor degrees. The first of these was
awarded at a conferring ceremony held on 21
May 1981 at the Camberwell Civic Centre.

In 1992, Swinburne achieved university status

with the passage by the Parliament of Victoria
of the Swinburne University of Technology
Act. This marked not only Swinburne's
distinguished history as a provider of further
education, but the beginning of a new period
of growth and innovation for Swinburne.

6 Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus | Graduation Ceremony Program

Establishment and History of the Sarawak Campus
Swinburne University of Technology
Sarawak Campus is the result of a
successful combination of goals:
Malaysia’s goal of becoming an educational
centre of excellence, Sarawak’s goal of
increasing its technical workforce and
Swinburne University of Technology
Australia’s goal of globalising its operations
to provide its students with additional
international opportunities while providing
quality Australian degrees at affordable
costs for students from across Asia.
The Sarawak Campus was established in
Kuching, the capital city of the Malaysian
state of Sarawak, in 2000. Originally
known as Swinburne Sarawak Institute of
Technology, it was awarded university status
as a foreign branch campus university by the
Malaysian Government in 2004 and became
Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak
Campus. The University therefore has dual
nationality, being both a branch of the
Australian university as well as a Malaysian
university. Degrees awarded are Australian
and testamurs are indistinguishable from
those awarded in Australia.
The University is jointly owned by Swinburne
University of Technology Australia and the
Sarawak Government through Yayasan
Sarawak (Sarawak Foundation) and
Sarawak Higher Education Foundation.
Swinburne Sarawak was founded as part of the
Government of Sarawak’s strategy to deliver
skilled human capital to the engineering
and technical fields for the industrialisation
needs of the state. The Australian partner
in this venture, Swinburne University of
Technology is well-known in Australia for
its business and technical education and
for close links with industry. The University
wants to make the same high standard of
education available to young people abroad.
Undergraduate degrees offered at Swinburne
Sarawak include courses in the areas of
Business, Computing, Design, Science and
Engineering including double degrees.
The University also offers postgraduate
by coursework and research programs at
PhD and Masters levels in these disciplines
while the School of Foundation
Studies offers a wide range of
preparatory and English language
enhancement programs.
Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus
The 16.5-acre city campus is only about
15 minutes from the city centre and less
than two hours flight from Kuala Lumpur,
lesser if you’re flying from Singapore.
Home to 4,600 students and more than
300 staff, Swinburne is also home to
students from more than 45 countries.
After eight years in operations, the Sarawak
Campus saw its first expansion where
eight new custom designed buildings
were added to the campus. This increased
the total number of buildings to 12, thus
greatly improving teaching and learning
facilities, research capabilities
and ensures the comfort of our
students with an upgraded student
accommodation.
In 2020, the university embarked on a
campus redevelopment project to fulfil
its commitment to enhancing the campus
experience for students. Up to RM50 million
were invested into enhancing our research,
teaching and learning laboratories, student
accommodation and cafeteria among
others. These upgrades provide students
with quality Australian education at
affordable fees, preparing graduates for the
future of work with flexible and innovative
teaching and learning culture.

Ceremony traditions
The mace and the chairs

In universities a mace is used as a symbol of institutional authority

and it is carried in procession before the Chancellor, and
here in Kuching, the Pro Chancellor, as a symbolic weapon
of protection and power.

Along with academic dress and graduation ceremonies, the

mace is part of the ancient ceremonial that marks the
authority of the University and its chief office bearers, the
importance of learning and knowledge, and which welcomes the
graduate into a special and select group of learned men and
women. The ceremony marks the formal entrance of the
graduate, who as a student, is considered ‘in training’, into the
academic family of the university. The Mace accompanies the
Chancellor, the Pro Chancellor and the academic procession
into the hall and remains on view, mounted on a stand,
during the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony it is
carried out in the procession.

The Swinburne Sarawak Mace Suite is a sister suite to that

used by Swinburne Melbourne. The Melbourne suite is
fabricated in Queensland Silk Oak, a beautiful Australian
timber. The Sarawak suite is fabricated in Belian, a beautiful
and revered Sarawakian timber. In fact, part of the timber in
the mace comes from the family house of YBhg Datu (Dr)
Haji Abdul Rashid Bin Mohd Azis, a foundation member of the
University, creating a living link between Sarawak’s rich historical
past and the future promise of education and development.
The two ceremonial chairs are for the Chancellor and the Pro
Chancellor. The University motto: ’Factum per Literas’ which refers
to achievement through learning, is part of a ribbon carved into
the back of the chairs. Small silver stars of the Southern Cross
constellation, also contained in heraldic form in the University
crest, are mounted into the backs of the chairs. The chairs sit to
the front of the dais in the traditional attitude of enthronement.

A finial, a type of crown crafted in solid silver and gold is mounted
at the top of the mace. The Australian crown contains a miniature
carving of the University crest. The carving inside the
Sarawakian crown has incorporated the hornbill, the State
emblem, centered in a wreath of Eucalyptus and Belian leaves,
to symbolise the blending of two cultures and two histories. In
both cases the carving incorporates a book with a heraldic
cinquefoil, from the French ‘cinque feuilles’ meaning ‘five
leaves’, which dates from the family crest of George
Swinburne, the University’s founder. The book is a symbol of
knowledge and learning incorporated into the Swinburne
crest by the Royal College of Heralds, London. The tail of
the mace is finished in solid silver.
Distinguished artisans and craftspeople involved in the project with
the designer were:
• Hendrik Forster, silversmith, who crafted the silver and gold
crown and the silver mace stand brackets,
• Iann Higgs, cabinetmaker, who created the timber components
of the mace, mace stand and chairs,
• Marion Marshall, silversmith, who crafted the stock tail and the
stars of the Southern Cross,
• Sue Wraight, netsuke carver, who created the hornbill
miniature carving.
Professor Roger Simpson and Ms Monique Jedwab contributed to
project management and detailing.

The ceremonial items of the office of the Chancellor and Pro

Chancellor of Swinburne Sarawak were designed by Emeritus
Professor Helmut Lueckenhausen, the former Pro Vice- Chancellor
and Chief Executive Officer Swinburne Sarawak.

Ian Higgs made the timber components at the training workshop

of the Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation at Kota
Samarahan, supported by members of STIDC and particularly
through the kind offices of YBhg Datu Haji Len Talif Bin Salleh, the
former General Manager.

Oil Palm Trunk Activated Carbon for the Removal of Tannin, Acid Blue 25,
and Sunset Yellow: Synthesis, Kinetics, and Isotherms
Activated carbon (AC) is a unique and versatile carbonaceous adsorbent
with a high degree of porosity, well-developed surface area, and specific
functional groups that are necessary for the removal of contaminants,
making it one of the best candidates for removing pollutants from an
aqueous medium. This thesis focuses on utilising oil palm trunk (OPT) as
the precursor for the synthesis of AC via chemical activation and semi-
carbonisation for the adsorption of tannin, acid blue 25, and sunset
yellow in single and binary adsorbate systems. The adsorption behaviours
and future application of OPT-derived AC for wastewater remediation are
discussed.

Design and Investigation of Low-Power Linear-In-Decibel S-Band Power
Detector
This research aims to design a low-power linear-in-decibel RF power
detector using a 180 nm standard CMOS process. The RF power detector
targets S-band frequency range (2 GHz to 4 GHz) applications in wireless
communication and as sensing devices in the agriculture sector, where
low-power consumption, wide dynamic range, and high sensitivity are
required. The S-band frequency is suitable because most design of
microwave ring resonators for agricultural applications operates in
frequency ranging between 2 GHz and 4 GHz. The proposed power
detector could also be used to manufacture cheaper VNA's which has
multiple important applications at present time.

Investigating The Adoption And Contribution of Literature-Based
Discovery Methods Towards Clinical Research Ideation Among
Investigator Initiated Research Projects in Sarawak, Malaysia
This research study indicated that the ability of Literature-Based
Discovery system to establish plausible connections enables researchers
in gaining new knowledge for hypothesis generation and testing. Several
challenges affecting the perceived usability of the Literature-Based
Discovery system were identified from the interviews with four
researchers with biomedical background. The interview results revealed
that the participants faced different usability challenges at the inquiry,
investigation and navigation stages of Literature-Based Discovery style
hypothesis generation activity. Despite the challenges, findings from the
interviews also showed that Literature-Based Discovery systems are
capable of broadening users' knowledge base through its employment of
graph visualization in result presentation.

Investigating the Impacts of LSTM-Transformer on
Classification Performance of Speech Emotion Recognition
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a task of recognizing
emotions by learning the features extracted from speech signals. This
research focuses on designing and developing an LSTM-
Transformer hybrid model for the SER system to learn the long-
term dependencies in speech signals as well as investigating its
impacts on the classification performance of SER. The resulting
recognition accuracy showed that the LSTM-Transformer hybrid
model could learn the temporal information from the frequency
distributions according to the Mel-Frequency Cepstral
Coefficients (MFCCs) of each emotion on language-
independent and language-dependent datasets.

Remote Arrhythmia Detection for Eldercare
Cardiovascular disease continues to be one of the most prevalent
medical conditions in modern society, especially among elderly citizens.
This thesis reviewed the challenges of automatically detecting heart
arrhythmias and developed a platform for remote monitoring with an
emphasis on early arrhythmia detection and scalability. Additionally, a
novel two-phase classification scheme was proposed and applied to an
existing electrocardiogram classification algorithm, improving its
predictive performance for arrhythmia detection. Testing of a prototype
setup was performed on 27 unique patients at the Sarawak General
Hospital to evaluate the effectiveness and future applications of the work.

Impacts of digital devices on digital skills, digital competencies, health and
well-being of teenagers
This result of this research could contribute to the limited existing
knowledge on the impacts of digital devices on teenagers age group. This
research explore the devices usage pattern among teenagers to help the
society to understand the truth about various problems that are
sometimes disregarded. Most importantly, this research provides a new
perspective to different stakeholders on teenagers digital devices use
and implement intervention and support when necessary.

Improving the Prediction of Diabetes in LIFECARE Cohort Using
Cluster-Based Undersampling
This thesis aim is to help identify individuals that will develop diabetes
(high blood glucose in the body). In order to be able to predict
accurately, risk factors need to be identified and a prediction model is
needed. As individuals that develop diabetes is of the minority group,
there is data imbalance. Hence, to address this issue, Cluster-Based
Undersampling was used. The LIFECARE Cohort is a Cohort in
Sarawak which recruited healthy individuals to study the development
of diesease. This thesis shares the significant factors identified using
LIFECARE cohort and the step by step methodology for the proposed
method ODS-CBUS.

This study investigated and supported that transformational leadership,
innovative culture, and workplace digitalisation are significant drivers of
employee engagement. Besides, innovative culture partially enhances
employee engagement through workplace digitalisation. Digital literacies
and rewards-recognition strengthen employee engagement. The results
suggest that industry practitioners who intend to raise employee
engagement can first focus on fostering employees' perception of
workplace digitalisation, and then supplement this with a supportive
environment, such as digital literacies and rewards-recognition. Engaged
workforce are crucial as a competitive advantage to unlock organisations'
values, especially with the accelerated workplace digitalisation post-
COVID-19 pandemic.

The Integrated BIM-MyCREST Process Model for Reengineering the Green
Building Design Practices
Sustainable buildings provide social, economic, and environmental
benefits. To accurately exchange the comprehensive information during
the sustainable building design, the Building Information Modelling
process was introduced. However, the most common problem in
designing a sustainable building remains the absence of accurate
information to make timely decisions. Hence, this study provides a well-
structured approach that can enable the diverse design team to
collaboratively use the enormous software to exchange accurate
information, and efficiently design buildings with high sustainability
performance. The research output will promote the adoption of
sustainable building development; thereby facilitating the
accomplishment of the United Nations sustainable development goals.

Syzygium Polyanthum (Wight) from Sarawak as a potential source of
compounds exhibiting in vitro anti-cancer activity against nasopharyngeal
carcinoma (NPC)
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a cancer of the nasopharynx. The Malaysian
state of Sarawak reports one of the highest incidence rates globally,
coming in close to front runners Hong Kong and China. Natural products
have garnered research interest for drug discovery, depicted by Aspirin,
Morphine and Taxol, all derived from natural plant sources. Sarawak
evokes images of dense forests rich in biodiversity, presenting the perfect
canvas for bioprospecting. This thesis focuses on Syzygium Polyanthum
(Wight) plant from Sarawak exhibiting activity against nasopharyngeal
carcinoma cells. Computational-learning platforms were employed and
validated by molecular methods to identify the anti-
nasopharyngeal cancer mechanisms of the plant.

Geo-tracing of Black Pepper using Metal Oxide Semiconductor Gas
Sensors
Malaysia produces black pepper of superior quality, especially in the
state of Sarawak. Sarawak black pepper is widely known in the global
market and fetches higher price compared to its competitors. There
has been arising concerns of increasing fraud products that claimed
their origin to be from Sarawak for better price. Using metal oxide
semiconductor gas sensors, this PhD research develops an accurate,
inexpensive, rapid, portable and non-invasive geo-tracing method to
establish product differentiation of black pepper by geographical
origins. Therefore, the higher price of Sarawak black pepper can be
justified, and its product can be authenticated against fraud.

Medical tourism in Malaysia: an investigation of the destination
branding factors and its influence on the behaviour of medical tourists
The steady growth of the medical tourism industry made it one of the
most attractive and economically viable tourism sectors for different
countries. Over the past few years, Malaysia has been one of the
beneficiaries of the industry and now wants to become the top
destination for medical tourism around the region. This study focused
on branding the Malaysia medical tourism industry. This was done by
looking at the behaviour (their awareness, perception of image, quality
and satisfaction) of medical tourists to determine their intention to
revisit the country in the future or recommend others to visit.

Cultural identity and branding: Insights from a multiple identities
perspective in a globalised world
This thesis aims to better understand the influence of ethnic, national,
and global cultural identities on ethnic, national and global brand
behaviours from single and multiple cultural identities perspectives.
The findings support assertions that consumers' cultural identities
influence their brand behaviours, depending on the level of their
identification with the cultural identities and the amalgamation of
these identities. The findings also established the existence of
anchoring cultural identity in multiple identities conditions. These key
findings have implications for studying multiple cultural identities and
brands' target markets.

Travellers' Online Hotel Booking Behaviour: Insights from Usability and
Trust Perspectives
The novelty of this thesis lies in new knowledge contribution to
literature, customers and practitioners on distinguishing the positive
effects of cognitive-based usability and affective-driven trust attitude
and their respective antecedents on adoption behaviour towards
online hotel booking mobile application and website. Affective- or
emotional-based trust is found to have a stronger positive effect on
adoption behaviour than cognitive-oriented usability. Given this,
industry practitioners may strategise and enhance technologies. Hotel
booking mobile applications and websites that generate feeling of
competency and integrity facilitate customers' decision making in
choices. This amplifies confidence and satisfaction, and hence, greater
technology adoption and usage.

Development of novel techno-economic framework for enhancing a Tri-
Ethylene Glycol-based natural gas dehydration unit

The maximum purity of the regenerated Tri-Ethylene Glycol (TEG) in an

absorption-based natural gas dehydration process is capped at 98.8%
since the operating temperature of the reboiler cannot exceed 204 oC,
otherwise the TEG will thermally degrade. Several enhanced dehydration
processes are available to overcome this limitation such as the stripping
gas dehydration process using a portion of dry product gas, inert gas, or
volatile hydrocarbon (DRIZO process). This thesis presents a novel
techno-economic framework for the selection of the best dehydration
process that simultaneously meets the water dew point specification and
generates the highest net profit margin.
