Muhammad Zulfadhli Effective Communication T5

  Singapore has set a goal to retire internal combustion engine vehicles for 2040 and to make way for the usage of electric vehicles(EVs). Rewards has been put out to attract more people to switch to electric vehicles. However, there are challenges like meeting the demand for EVs in Singapore. Besides this, having sufficient charging points would also be an issue in the future. Persons of authorities have planned to work with private organisations to tackle this problem in the future. Surplus of vehicles in Singapore leaves behind a large carbon footprint. Hence, this plan to electrify the public transport system is to reduce our carbon output. All in all, Singapore has set up multiple policies and incentives to achieve this goal of a greener country. Singapore has also invested a large sum of money for this change and recognizes that it is needed for the fight against climate change. (Sanjay,2021)

  Subject: Self-Introduction Dear Professor Brad, My name is Muhammad Zulfadhli and I am a year 1 student studying civil engineering in Singapore Institute of Technology. I am a student in your effective communication class. I was from Temasek Polytechnic and graduated in 2019 with a diploma in mechatronics.     When it comes to hobbies, I enjoy spending my time outside with the people close to me such as my friends and family. I don’t necessarily need something to do to enjoy myself. What I love to do most is relaxing by the beach at night with my friends and have dinner while we chat until midnight. It is also a way of clearing my mind after a long week of juggling between work and school.   One weakness that I possess is that I am not able to convey my message smoothly and clearly whenever I present to an audience. Even after preparing and having all the information for a certain presentation I will tend to take pauses in between to process what I want...

“Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp A leader needs to be charismatic in order to get his message across, as it would be pointless otherwise, as quoted by Gilbert Amelio, where he said, “If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter,”. People want a leader, not a dictator/boss. He needs to be able to use proper choice of words and use proper language that allows people to clearly understand his intentions.
