2026 IPF World Championships

Temasek Polytechnic student Muhammad Hazrul is making his mark on the world stage 🏆 At just 18, the Singaporean powerlifter broke the Sub-Junior Men’s 66kg world record at the 2026 IPF World Championships in South Africa, deadlifting an incredible 273kg and finishing second overall in his category.

Hazrul’s journey to the podium was built on more than strength. After discovering powerlifting when he did not make his secondary school’s football team, he spent the next three and a half years training towards his dream of competing at the World Championships.

Along the way, he balanced school, training and part-time work to fund his journey, making sacrifices and pushing through moments of exhaustion and doubt.

With the unwavering support of his family, Hazrul turned years of hard work into a record-breaking moment on the world stage 💪

And he is not stopping there. As he enters the next stage of his powerlifting journey, Hazrul has set his sights on becoming a Junior Under-23 World Champion.

First Polytechnic in Singapore to Introduce a Skills Transcript

A new milestone for our TP graduates! 🎓✨

Temasek Polytechnic has introduced the Skills Transcript; the first of its kind among polytechnics in Singapore to provide a more holistic view of students’ competencies beyond academic achievements. 🙌

Presented to all graduating students from 2026, the Skills Transcript showcases each student’s skills and attributes across their academic, co-curricular and experiential achievements, including soft skills, CCAs and relevant internship experiences 💼📚

Aligned with SkillsFuture Singapore’s Skills Taxonomy, the transcript also reflects attributes from the TP Student Profile (TSP), such as innovation and entrepreneurship, critical thinking and resilience. Throughout their three years at TP, students can preview and track their skills development, empowering them to make more informed choices about their subjects, internships, CCAs and projects 🚀

More than just a record of achievement, the Skills Transcript helps our graduates better showcase what they can bring to the workplace. Developed with feedback from industry partners across various sectors, it also gives employers a clearer picture of each graduate’s capabilities, helping them identify candidates who are the right fit for the job 🤝

Here’s to empowering our students to own their learning journey, showcase their strengths and step confidently into the future of work! 🌟
