First prize winner, Muhammad Azeem said, “I felt it was a calling for me to participate in the contest as I wanted to share challenge faced by small fishermen in Malaysia and the bigger role played by Agrobank throughout the pandemic COVID-19 period. It is like what Encik Safie had said in the video which I submitted, Agrobank is the only banking institution which takes the risk to provide financing to the fishermen and this side of Agrobank is unknown by many especially the younger generation.
Sharing his side of the story, Isyraq Nur Haziq’s said, he was very grateful for being selected for second place, “The cash prize of RM4,000 has a great value for a student like me.
