One of Malaysia's largest camera manufacturer, Canon Malaysia has decided to work with the Lim Kok Wing University of Creative Technology over the next three years to help its students improve their photography skills.

The deal, which was inked recently, is expected to benefit the more than 9,000 students at the Cyberjaya campus. According to Canon Malaysia assistant director, Simon Wong, the deal would include a series of seminars, workshops, exhibitions, and contests, as well as provide technical support to the students.

Not only that, students would also have the chance to interact with various photography experts who will share their knowledge and experiences at the seminars and workshops.

As a student, I feel that Canon is doing a tremendous favor by providing this deal to the students. As a student studying in Taylor's College, I am envious of Lim Kok Wing.

Since Taylor's College has opened a new designing school, which involves photography as well, I feel that Canon should provide this deal to other colleges and universities as well. "We want to help create more photography professionals in the country so that the nation can be richer in artistic and creative works", said Simon Wong. So wouldn't it be better for them to extend this deal to other institutions as well?

Maybe in the future they might. One institution at a time, I guess.
