A Year of No Significance: Portraying the grey life of a Nantah graduate?
Lee Guan Kin, a Nanyang University (Nantah) graduate herself, was happy to see a local film made about the life and times of a Nantah graduate in the year 1979, when "Chinese" elements seemed to be fading from society. But she worries that the grey life depicted may miss the true plot: Nantah graduates with grit and spirit went on to become prominent people in society, not in spite of their education and upbringing, but because of it.

Memories of graduating in a tent at Nanyang University
Hua Language Centre director Chew Wee Kai thinks back to the first time he attended a university graduation - in a tent. However, the solemnity of the event still shone through, in a fitting tribute to the effort of the graduates, as well as the travails of that storied university called Nanyang University (Nantah), and all that it came to represent.
