Graduation at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak
Identical twins Maximilian Majoi Marcus Linggie and Maximiller Jawa Marcus Linggie, both 23, proudly took the stage during the sixth session of the 29th Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) Convocation Ceremony held at DeTAR Putra.
Shared Academic Journey
The brothers not only resemble each other but also shared many experiences throughout their education. They studied together in the same classroom, completed their internship at the same organisation, and graduated side by side.
Degree and Passion
Both earned a Bachelor of Social Science (Honours) in Development Planning and Management, a programme that fostered their passion for community development and sustainable planning.
Support and Cost Management
“Our parents encouraged us to study together because we’re from different divisions, so staying together made things easier,” said Maximilian. He added that they shared a car and accommodation throughout their studies to reduce expenses.
Seamless Teamwork During Internship
“It helped that we understand each other well. Even when faced with challenges, we managed to divide our responsibilities and support each other,” said Maximilian about their industrial training experience.
Their identical looks sometimes caused funny mix-ups among lecturers and classmates, adding light moments to their academic life.
