company in Penang, in which their projects cover large areas in Penang Island and parts of Kuala
Lumpur. K.H. TAN ARCHITECTS deals with various types of projects such as high-rise, factory,

3.0 CONCLUSION
This internship betters the understanding of my major and also brought me to a very new and
interesting area that I couldn’t learn in the university. Through the assignments, I gained a lot of
knowledge but more importantly, I also had a great chance to sharpen my skills in a real,
professional working environment. I have improved my communication through giving
presentations, discussing with supervisors, experts in the field and other staffs within and outside
the company. I appreciated Mr. Tan Kian Hio, my supervisor at K.H. TAN ARCHITECTS. Mr. Tan
and my colleagues gave me very practical, valuable instructions and put me in contact with
experts in the field.
Throughout the internship, I have also learnt many things about my future job scope, in which the
benefits are far beyond what I could learn in the university. In short, I would like to thank K.H.TAN
ARCHITECT and Taylor’s Lakeside University, for this great opportunity in which I have developed
myself both academically, professionally and socially.
