The book will be officially launched on August 6, 2011 (Saturday) at MPH Midvalley, between 1.30pm and 3.00pm. All authors as well as members of the public are welcomed to participate in the launch. (The Facebook event page can be accessed at- http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178565955536803 )
This is a non-profit project, initiated and managed by a small, passionate group of youths, with strong pro bono support from Leaderonomics. No one on the management team or any of the 101 contributing authors will receive royalties from the sale of this book.
It is our hope that all of you who care about education in Malaysia will buy this book and distribute it to your alma mater, and present this book as a donation to the school library and/or counselling office, or better still, as a gift to students.
Presently, the book is sold at RM19.90. However, we can arrange for bulk purchases (100 copies or more), please contact us at whatsafterspm@gmail.com for inquiries.
We will continue to post updates on the project on this website.

Hello, I’m interested to contribute my own personal story to any future edition of this book if there is one. I just graduated from Queens University and I’m currently on a trip from Belfast (UK) overland to Cape Town (South Africa). Sitting in Aswan at the moment killing time waiting for the ferry to take us to Wadi Halfa in Sudan. Will definitely love to add my colourful university experiences should it be worth telling to future graduates.

Hey Wei Jiat, thanks a bunch for your interest. We’re not sure if we’ll ever do a second edition of the book. It’s a possibility, but definitely not in the near future. Nonetheless, we’re considering publishing additional stories on the site (we’re still sorting out all the copyright issues in the project). In any case, you should share your story with your peers, whether it’s an informal chat with school juniors over mamak, or at a youth event – it’s what stirs the imaginations of young Malaysians of the unbounded life experiences they could have.
