Malaysian Humanitarian Foundation collaborates with Teach for Malaysia to empower underprivileged students with leadership skills

Malaysian Humanitarian Foundation collaborates with Teach for Malaysia to empower underprivileged students with leadership skills

Award-winning non-profit organisation, Malaysian Humanitarian Foundation (“MHF”) is working closely with Malaysia’s leading educational non-profit organisation, Teach for Malaysia (“TFM”) in identifying students from B40 households to offer scholarships to attend SuperCamp.

For the December edition which ran from 18 to 22 December 2023 at Paradise Valley Broga Resort, Semenyih, Selangor, seven (7) students from several schools within Klang Valley were shortlisted by TFM to attend SuperCamp.

“We work on a system to extend opportunities like this to students from the underserved communities. Not having the resources to attend programmes like this should not hinder you from unlocking your full potential and achieving greatness in the future. We hope that from 2024 onwards, we can extend the scholarships to at least 50 students annually,” Henry Teh Kok Kheng, Executive Director of MHF (郑国庆) says.

 

Empowering the future leaders of Malaysia

Vassenthen A/L Devendren, 16, was filled with excitement to be selected for SuperCamp. The SMK (L) Methodist Sentul student candidly shares that his self-esteem took a hit during the transition from a Tamil school to a national school after his UPSR, which left him dissatisfied with the result. He also feels less confident due to his larger physical build.

“I was disappointed to receive my UPSR result and decided to make a change. I started following a strict regime where I only allowed minimal time to rest and spend time with my family. Being the eldest in my family also means that I have the big brother role to play,” he says. He also continues to study Tamil subjects to honour his Indian heritage as he aspires to excel in his mother tongue, while improving his proficiency in English and Bahasa Melayu.

His mother, Mogana Sunthari A/P Govindan, 41 is also surprised to see how much time Vassenthen spends in his room studying. “Everyday, after school he retreats to his room to study. Sometimes, he only texts or calls me on the phone when he wants to eat. I can see that he is driven to be successful in the future, so I’ll continue to support him,” she says. “Interestingly, though, he doesn't aspire to become a doctor! He mentioned that the COVID-19 experience has truly scared him!”

 

Another scholar from SMK Seksyen 27, Shah Alam, Maizatulakma Lisa Aqilah Abdullah, is a big fan of Korean culture, particularly the food and fashion. Despite her passion for entertainment, she strongly believes that her peers should set their priorities right from such a young age.

“I know a lot of students my age want to be content creators and influencers, but I honestly hope to be a teacher one day. So, I’ll work hard towards this goal, acknowledging that I can be a bit lazy at times. However, after attending SuperCamp, I really found motivation to do better,” says the 15-year old student.

“Yes, she can be lazy sometimes,” laughs Maizatulakma’s mother, Zaidatulnisa binti Salleh, 39. “But she’s really a good girl. She’s the eldest in the family and takes care of her younger siblings. She makes sure that all her homework is completed before coming home. She is also actively working for an NGO on the side, something that she picks up from me. I too am actively working for several NGOs that empower children from the B40 group with education around our neighborhood.”

Zaidatulnisa also hopes that the Malaysian education system will bring back examinations for the students. “I see examinations as a way to motivate students to apply what they have learnt at school. Examinations provide a quantifiable and measurable method for parents to assess their children's progress at school. It's not about making comparisons of whose child is better or smarter.”

 

Zuraida Zulkifli, 48, is a proud mother to Daliya Safeera Ramli, 15, a student at SMK Shah Alam, Bukit Jelutong. “She is very quiet at home and likes to keep to herself. She only approaches us when she needs help. She is different from her older sister who was a prefect and active at school. Her sister also attended a boarding school,” says the full-time housewife. 

“I don’t really want to attend boarding school like my sister,” Daliya laughs. “I’m actually an introvert and I’m afraid to make mistakes, especially when speaking in front of the crowd. Even when studying, I rely on the Internet and Youtube videos when I hit a wall. It’s not always a bad thing as it allows students like me to learn at our own pace. Now that I have attended Supercamp, I feel more confident, especially in overcoming my fear of public speaking, and I am excited to share my opinions on various issues”.

 

Senior Assistant Administrator from Daliya’s school, Tuan Saripah Nor Riha Tuan Jaafar is extremely proud that one of her students was selected to receive a full scholarship to attend SuperCamp. “When TFM reached out to us to share the information about SuperCamp, we submitted 8 applications and were so delighted to know that despite the limited vacancies, Daliya made it through,” she says. “Daliya is a very dedicated student who attended all meetings set by TFM prior to her selection. I hope that she will return to our school and share everything she has learned here with her friends. We look forward to seeing more of our students attending SuperCamp in the future”.

SuperCamp is a global education brand that believes that children who are equipped with ‘the 8 Keys of Excellence’, a  foundation based on the Burklyn Business School; can transform themselves to become self-motivated learners. The 8 Keys of Excellence entail:

  • Integrity
  • Failure leads to Success
  • Ownership
  • Speak with Good Purpose
  • Commitment
  • Flexibility
  • This is It
  • Balance

Meanwhile, TFM is an independent, not-for-profit organisation on a mission to give all children the opportunity to realise their potential through quality education. This education champion has been partnering with the Ministry of Education in Malaysia to reach high-need public schools. At the same time, TFM is one of the 61 partners of the prestigious global education network, Teach for All. TFM received recognition in 2022 for the Education & Community Category at the Merdeka Award established by PETRONAS, ExxonMobil and Shell in 2007.

一起去成都 欢乐中国年

联动成都都市圈推出旅游产品

国家移民管理局122日发布的数据显示,六国免签政策实施首日,相关国家人员共有2029人次通过免签入境中国,马来西亚为当日六国免签入境人数最多的国家。成都市文化广电旅游局相关负责人表示,为了向马来西亚等东南亚国家游客提供更加丰富和完善的旅游体验,成都市文广旅局针对当地华人华侨集中、对中华文化认同度高的特点,基于游客来华旅游偏好设计了针对性旅游精品线路。

成都市文广旅局以一起去成都,欢乐中国年为主题,联动成都都市圈,聚焦西岭雪山、瓦屋山、神瀑沟等冰雪景区,大熊猫基地、熊猫谷等熊猫家园,青城山一都江堰、金沙遗址博物馆、武侯祠博物馆、杜甫草堂、三星堆博物馆、三苏祠、安岳石刻等名胜古迹,以及成都大庙会、绵竹年画村(德阳)等新春民俗文旅场景,推出玩冰雪”“看熊猫”“访古迹”“品美食”“过春节五类冬季来蓉精品旅游线路。


今年11月,四川省政府公布《成都都市圈发展规划》,提出以成都市为中心,与联系紧密的德阳市、眉山市、资阳市共同组成一个现代化都市圈,建设便捷高效的交通通勤圈,构建协同共兴的产业生态圈,形成便利共享的优质生活圈,扩大开放合作的国际朋友圈。随着六国免签等利好政策的推出,成都文旅经济发展核心区的辐射引领作用正显著提升。

成都都市圈拥有悠久的历史、众多的文物古迹、独特的自然景观、浓厚的人文气息、文旅资源分布广泛。目前区域内拥有3项世界遗产、2座国家历史文化名城,全国重点文物保护单位77处,国家定级博物馆26家。共有国家A级旅游景区167个,其中5A级景区2个、4A级景区71个,国家级旅游休闲街区3个,全国乡村旅游重点村镇14个,国家级夜间文化和旅游消费集聚区6个。都市圈里,即将迎来南国冰雪节、中鼎寺冰雪季、瓦屋山冰雪嘉年华等7个特色冰雪活动,杜甫草堂梅花艺术展、德阳中江醉美樱花节等3个特色赏花活动,武侯祠大庙会、春晚三星堆分会场、安岳新春嘉年华等8个特色年味活动,中国京剧艺术节、纪念齐白石诞辰160周年展、新年音乐会、三苏祠苏海畅游、资足常乐双城精品巡演等19个(类)特色文博艺术活动。

咏胜天下旅游董事杨慧娟表示,成都在马来西亚有着广泛的旅游客群,本次免签政策的出台,进一步促进了当地民众关注成都出行。此次推介会的召开,向本地民众和相关企业推介了成都精品旅游产品,让马来西亚民众更好地了解成都及成都都市圈的宝藏旅游地,也助力当地旅行社能以成都市区为中心,规划从都市走向自然的天府之行,让每一位来到成都的马来西亚游客都不虚此行。

自六国免签政策生效后,成都入境游热度快速攀升,境外游客纷至沓来,入境游市场呈快速恢复态势。成都市抢抓机遇,多措并举,大力开拓入境游客源市场。今年,已分赴美国、韩国、日本、泰国、新加坡、法国、香港等客源地国家和地区,陆续开展成都旅游推介宣传活动。

接下来,成都市文化广电旅游局还将通过国际旅游平台和境外旅行机构,针对免签六国以及其他入境游的重要客源地,组团赴德国、法国、西班牙召开专场旅游推介会,着重串联重庆、成都都市圈及甘孜、阿坝优质旅游资源,以大熊猫”“大三峡”“大九寨”“大藏区”“大遗产为营销点,宣传推介蓉进渝出”“渝进蓉出入境游精品线路产品。其中,在柏林、巴黎、马德里等地,成都市文化广电旅游局还将特别举办大熊猫来了主题摄影展并联动各地机构开展旅游推介宣传,持续全球种草成都。
