We are proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) Global Education, marking the beginning of an exciting new partnership. 

This collaboration reflects the essence of Merdeka by breaking barriers and building bridges as we work together to create greater opportunities for our students. With this MoU, DISTED’s students in Penang will gain clearer pathways into SIM’s diploma and degree programmes, alongside opportunities for student exchanges, cultural immersion, and stronger academic support. 

We were honoured to hear from Dr. Timothy Chan, Acting Provost of SIM Global Education, and our President, Dato’ Dr. Lim Si Boon, whose words during the ceremony reaffirmed our shared commitment to inclusivity, integrity, and enriching student experiences. 

Just as Merdeka celebrates freedom, unity, and growth, this partnership symbolises new possibilities for our students. It empowers them to dream bigger, reach further, and embrace a global future. At DISTED, we remain steadfast in our mission to empower minds and open doors, ensuring our students have the opportunities they deserve.  

Our collaboration with SIM Global Education marks yet another milestone in expanding pathways, fostering global connections, and building bridges to a brighter tomorrow.
