Celebrating Daihpa Sut Ing’s Achievement 🎓

We are delighted and deeply proud to share that Daihpa Sut Ing, a current colleague and former student at Kachinland College, has received the Li Ka Shing Endowment Fund Award to pursue the Master in Public Policy (MPP) at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP), National University of Singapore, for Academic Year 2026/28.

Sut Ing is also one of the early members of the Kachinland College family. She was a member of our Junior College Class of 2018 and later served as President of the Kachinland College Student Union (then KSAS). After completing her Bachelor of Social Science (Honours) in Government and International Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University, she returned to Myitkyina in 2024 to serve her community as a program manager at Kachinland College.

We have had the privilege of witnessing Sut Ing’s journey from student to student leader, and now to colleague and programme manager. Her decision to return and serve her community despite considerable challenges reflects her resilience, sense of responsibility, and deep commitment to public service.

Most recently, she organised Kachinland College’s Northeast India Cultural Exchange initiatives in 2025 and 2026, helping to strengthen academic, cultural, and people-to-people connections across the region.

Her journey beautifully reflects the motto of Kachinland College:

“To lead is to serve.”

For us, Sut Ing’s achievement is more than an individual success. It is a blessing and a source of encouragement for our entire College community—to see one of our early students grow into a leader who has chosen to return and serve her community, and who is now taking another important step in her journey of learning and public service.

We are confident that her MPP studies at LKYSPP will further equip her with the knowledge, skills, and networks to contribute to public service, good governance, leadership development, and community transformation.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Li Ka Shing Endowment Fund and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy for recognising Sut Ing’s potential and supporting her postgraduate journey. We are equally grateful to all the friends, partners, mentors, and supporters of Kachinland College who have encouraged Sut Ing and supported our College community along the way. Thank you very much for your encouragement and support for Daihpa Sut Ing and Kachinland College.

Grai Kăbu Sai Yaw, Sut Ing!
We are immensely proud of you and wish you every success at LKYSPP. May this new chapter deepen your knowledge, broaden your vision, and strengthen your capacity to serve and lead.

To lead is to serve.
