#SHOWBIZ: Fauziah Nawi graduates from Aswara at 72
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Fauziah Nawi, 72, received the Malaysian Skills Certificate (SKM) majoring in Theatre Arts under the Lifelong Learning Programme (PSH) from the National Arts, Culture and Heritage Academy (Aswara), last week.
Fauziah is grateful that her commitment to pursuing knowledge in her field of interest has enhanced her academic qualifications, which are acknowledged as important benchmarks in the industry.
"For me, pursuing knowledge is very important, as nowadays, more certificates and academic qualifications are needed compared to decades of experience," she said in a statement.
"Apart from that, I want to be a source of inspiration for my grandchildren who are still studying. I don't think it's necessary to continue studying, but this is to show that it's not too late to continue studying, no matter what age.
"I lost a lot of time in the past, my late father told me to study, but I didn't want to, only now have I realised it."
Apart from holding a Master's Degree in Performing Arts (Acting) from Open University Malaysia (OUM) in 2018, Fauziah also holds a diploma in Film Direction from Meatech Creative Academy in 2020.
Fauziah is also grateful that she has never faced chronic diseases.
"I do not eat carelessly and practice a healthy lifestyle. In addition, I always exercise, fast, and follow the doctor's advice to lose weight to facilitate movement.
"From my weight exceeding 90 kilogrammes after a few years, it has now reached 58kg.
I am truly grateful for the blessings that God has given me," she said.
