Recently, there was a traffic accident in Oxford, England, involving a lorry and a cyclist which led to a fatal crash, on March 1.
The victim was recognised as a Malaysian-born woman who was also a young scientist. She was born in Malaysia in 1986 and moved to London five years later with her parents and older sister, according to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-60619515">UK&rsquo;s national broadcaster BBC</a>.
It was believed that the 35-year-old Dr. Ling Felce was found underneath the tipper lorry at the roundabout junction of St Clement&rsquo;s Street and The Plain in Oxford at about 2.35 pm UK time, mentioned by <a href="https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/19969558.family-dr-ling-felce-35-release-tribute-fatal-crash-oxford/">Oxford Mail</a>.
The cyclist was severely injured and died at the scene.
The lorry driver, 39-year-old, was arrested on suspicion to own no driving license and was convinced to be under drug influence when he attempted dangerous driving on the road.
A Research Scientist: Immune Response Against COVID-19 &amp; Cancer
Dr. Ling Felce had been working for the university as a research scientist since finishing her Ph.D. in 2013 and most recently researched the details of the immune response against Covid-19 and cancer.
According to the University of Oxford, she was a highly promising young scientist who was taking a leading role in the establishment of a new institute based within the university.
She was also described as an extremely bright, friendly, and optimistic person, her colleagues are considering how best to remember the 35-year-old as part of the new institute, reported Oxford Mail.

The Husband Was Devasted Of Her Tragic Death
Dr. Ling Felce&rsquo;s husband whom she had been married to for eight years, James expressed his loss, "Ling was the light of our family and we are devastated to lose her so young when she had so many dreams for herself and her children that she was beginning to realise.
"I am lost without her warm presence but she will live on through the love that she has given to us and so many others."
The victim also left behind two kids, aged three and five.
Lorry Driver To Be In Court
Robert Whiting, 39, appeared at Oxford Magistrates' Court on Thursday charged with causing death by careless driving whilst unfit through drugs.
Mr. Whiting has also been charged with causing death by driving unlicensed and without insurance.
He was remanded in custody and will next appear at Oxford Crown Court on 28 March.

Malaysian-Born Scientist Dies After Careless Lorry Driver Ran Over Her

Excitement surrounding the release of Nintendo&rsquo;s latest console, the Switch 2, has reached fever pitch. Even before launch day, analysts had forecast that the console would sell exceptionally well, "almost regardless of price" &mdash; and early indicators show that prediction to be completely accurate.
Nintendo recently updated its US "How to Buy" webpage to caution customers that "delivery by 5th June is not guaranteed" due to overwhelming demand. Moreover, many fans who signed up through Nintendo&rsquo;s official site may only receive their purchase invitation emails after the system officially launches.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7ab171d38da9956d31174ceb42117412d4055bf95a127f5a917e679cdf66dbd3" />
The company is encouraging customers to also check with participating retail partners to secure a unit. However, even those outlets have reported rapid sell-outs, both online and in-store, fuelling a sense of urgency among potential buyers.
While Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, are still awaiting official pre-order announcements and local pricing, the current rush abroad offers a strong glimpse of the challenge that could await gamers regionally.
Pre-Orders Launch Amid Widespread Retail Chaos
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c23da9e412bf695576fb143956803794b60fc2974aabf3f841d456d6a12cc86c" />
After an unexpected delay caused by international trade tensions, Nintendo finally opened pre-orders for the Switch 2 across the United States and Canada on 24th April 2025. Originally intended to begin on 9th April, the pre-sale was postponed due to newly imposed tariffs on Japanese imports into the US.
As the pre-orders went live, retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop struggled to handle the overwhelming volume of traffic. Downdetector reported that Target alone received over 2,000 user complaints regarding website access issues within the first 45 minutes of the sale. Best Buy faced widespread login problems, while Walmart users reported issues with the retailer&rsquo;s app.
Despite the technical difficulties, stock was completely snapped up within minutes across all major retailers. GameStop commenced its in-person and online pre-orders slightly later, at 11:00am ET, but similarly experienced swift sell-outs. As of now, Amazon has not opened Switch 2 pre-orders, though they are expected to follow closer to the launch.
Nintendo recommends registering through its official website if you have yet to do so. Registration remains free, and those signed up will eventually receive a purchase invitation &mdash; although many may still face a waiting period beyond launch day.
What&rsquo;s New With The Nintendo Switch 2?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f42100b4c1692f4cee8847cd4274301ff68102634c2d767dfff9730b13637710" />
The Switch 2 offers a suite of major upgrades compared to its predecessor. The console features a larger 7.9-inch LCD display supporting a 120Hz refresh rate, 1080p resolution, and HDR capabilities &mdash; a significant step up from the original Switch.
When docked, the console supports gaming at up to 4K resolution, delivering stunning visuals for television play. Nintendo has also enhanced the console&rsquo;s audio system with improved internal speakers, while a new dock design featuring an integrated cooling fan helps maintain performance during long gaming sessions.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f68db85ae82f4f828a6bfcc1a9eafa704d37ecc99af9e3eefaff62784e2d18fe" />
The redesigned Joy-Con 2 controllers introduce new features, including a C button, mouse-style controls, a tilt-sensitive gyroscope, and enhanced ergonomics for more comfortable gameplay. In addition, a built-in microphone now enables a "Game Chat" function, allowing players to communicate seamlessly during multiplayer sessions.
Internal storage has been boosted to 256GB, and, while still expandable, the Switch 2 now requires newer microSD Express cards for storage expansion. The device also features dual USB-C ports for faster charging and greater flexibility.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b1dd91963a37b5eb8454b47108d89c2bd5baafb7d82b7f4c381249f031beee0a" />
Nintendo has confirmed that several new accessories will be available separately, although many have seen slight price increases. The Switch 2 Pro Controller now costs $85 (~RM 371), a second pair of Joy-Con controllers is priced at $95 (~RM415), and the Joy-Con charging grip now retails for $40 (~RM174). Pre-orders for most accessories are already open.
Tariffs, Delays, And Production Shifts
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f0b90c9c8b93cf25da54031332495298295c6c10dec890209d7c8a827b2c0ebf" />
The chaotic pre-order period can be traced back to broader global trade dynamics. On what was dubbed &ldquo;Liberation Day,&rdquo; former President Trump imposed sweeping new "reciprocal" tariffs on countries including Japan, introducing a 24% levy on imports effective 9th April. This led Nintendo to delay pre-orders in the US and Canada. However, hours later, Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs to allow for further trade negotiations amid volatile stock and bond market movements.
Despite the turbulence, Nintendo has maintained the original retail price of $449.99 (~RM1,963.53) for the standard Switch 2 and $499.99 (~RM2,185.21) for the Mario Kart World Bundle in the US. Nevertheless, the company&rsquo;s statements have left the door open for potential price adjustments in the future, depending on how trade discussions evolve.
To mitigate the risk of tariff impacts, Nintendo has been shifting more of its production to Vietnam &mdash; a move initially started in 2019. While Vietnam&rsquo;s reciprocal tariff was originally proposed at 46%, it is currently subject to a much lower 10% rate during the 90-day reprieve.
Still, Nintendo faces a significant challenge in meeting global demand. In Japan alone, a staggering 2.2 million people entered the Switch 2 pre-order lottery, far outstripping the initial available inventory.
Global Launch Plans Remain On Track
Despite the setbacks and overwhelming early demand, Nintendo has reassured fans that the global launch date for the Switch 2 remains set for 5th June 2025. Notably, pre-orders in regions outside of North America, including the United Kingdom, proceeded as originally scheduled without delays.
The Switch 2 marks Nintendo&rsquo;s most significant console release since the original Switch debuted in March 2017. With meaningful upgrades to performance, visuals, and gameplay mechanics, the new console promises to redefine portable gaming once again.
As excitement builds toward release day, securing a unit is already proving to be a formidable challenge. For now, eager gamers are advised to stay alert for future stock updates &mdash; and to be ready to act fast if they want to experience Nintendo&rsquo;s next big leap forward in gaming innovation.
That&rsquo;s certainly a hefty price tag &mdash; and if only the same could be said for the games. Sadly, despite technological advances, console titles still tend to cost more than their PC counterparts, which could deter some from picking up the Switch 2.
&nbsp;<img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdWJ1MzJvcmk1N3kzMzB2Y2RiYmw2bW5yYTQ4ZG1ob3c2djFuOWNpMSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/3FclTTz1dMGN91MQga/giphy.gif" />
Then again, these are Nintendo exclusives &mdash; and there&rsquo;s simply nowhere else to experience them.

Nintendo Switch 2 Frenzy: Pre-Orders Overwhelm Retailers As Demand Skyrockets

Following the overwhelming success of her Love Is In The Sky concert last year at Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting, Malaysia&rsquo;s most treasured songstress, Dato&rsquo; Sri Siti Nurhaliza, is once again ready to grace the stage in spectacular fashion.
In celebration of her phenomenal three-decade-long career, she is set to perform in the highly anticipated Violet Skies: Dato&rsquo; Sri Siti Nurhaliza Live in Arena of Stars concert &mdash; a grand musical showcase that promises to be a mesmerising journey through her timeless classics and greatest hits.
Who Is Siti Nurhaliza?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1a95498fffe7ad906c2f3e617d066bdbe71c1a7e1195be6fc54ae5ca4aed85df" />
Dato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza is one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most iconic and celebrated singers, often regarded as the nation's &ldquo;Voice of Asia&rdquo; for her incredible vocal range and emotional performances. Born in 1979 in Pahang, she rose to fame after winning the RTM Bintang HMI competition in 1995 at just 16 years old. Her debut album Siti Nurhaliza (1996) propelled her into stardom with timeless hits like "Cindai," "Bukan Cinta Biasa," and "Purnama Merindu," songs that have since become Malaysian pop classics.

Throughout her illustrious career, Siti Nurhaliza has released more than 20 albums, selling millions of copies across Southeast Asia. She has won over 300 local and international awards, including multiple Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) awards, MTV Asia Awards, and even accolades from the World Music Awards, where she was named Best-Selling Malaysian Artist multiple times. Her ability to bridge traditional Malay music with contemporary pop has made her a household name not just in Malaysia, but also in Indonesia, Singapore, and Brunei.
A lesser-known but fascinating fact about Siti Nurhaliza is her venture into Mandarin-language music. She recorded a Mandarin version of her hit "Jian Ai" (Simple Love) and showcased her linguistic and cultural versatility by performing in Mandarin at several events. She even co-hosted programs in China, strengthening her presence in the broader Asian entertainment scene and proving her ability to transcend language barriers.

Siti Nurhaliza To Celebrate 30 Years Of Musical Brilliance With Violet Skies Concert This July

Let&rsquo;s be honest &mdash; Malaysia is nothing short of a food paradise. No matter where you go, whether it's around KL, up north, down south, or even along the east coast, you're bound to stumble upon great food. Our culinary landscape is incredibly diverse, thanks to our multiracial heritage, offering a rich tapestry of flavours and cuisines. Each region has its own iconic dishes too, from the many types of laksa to countless local specialities that showcase the depth of our food culture.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6e8125d15e08ced5a0748509b7d76cf6f48b11ef80877b62b658915256193393" />
However, if there&rsquo;s one habit we need to address, it&rsquo;s our obsession with eating late at night. Sure, lepak sessions at the mamak or wandering through vibrant street food scenes are a big part of our social life &mdash; and undeniably fun &mdash; but we also have to remember the health risks that come with eating heavy meals during the late hours.
The latest National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2024: Nutrition has sounded the alarm over Malaysians&rsquo; eating patterns, highlighting a concerning trend: the rising frequency of late-night heavy meals. Health authorities are now urging the public to rethink their habits before this trend spirals into a bigger national health crisis.
Late-Night Suppers Becoming a Serious Health Issue
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/800fd6a627dd212ebd16d9e7c0dc2902267a97735aaeae1f7184e7dcc8fcaa5e" />
According to the findings, a significant proportion of the population &mdash; 41.8 per cent of adolescents and 33.5 per cent of adults &mdash; admitted to consuming heavy meals late at night at least once a week.
Speaking at the launch of the NHMS 2024: Nutrition report, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad advised Malaysians to practise moderation. &ldquo;Before going to bed, reduce the intake of heavy meals. It&rsquo;s not that you can&rsquo;t eat, but always in moderation,&rdquo; he said, emphasising that while occasional indulgence is understandable, consistent late-night eating could have detrimental effects on health.
The NHMS findings point to direct links between heavy late-night meals and several health complications, including disrupted sleep patterns, digestive issues, and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Regular indulgence may also contribute to weight gain, obesity, and a higher risk of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and hypertension.
A Broader Look at Malaysia&rsquo;s Dietary Challenges
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4b8c9b955d93265b9e7c054b5635c9104afa4fdd736e0bdcd7fcb2d2c3ffd560" />
The survey findings do not stop at late-night eating. Malaysians' overall dietary habits are also under scrutiny, particularly with regard to sugar and salt consumption &mdash; two factors heavily associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that have been on the rise nationally.
The report reveals that 63.1 per cent of teenagers and 47.0 per cent of adults are consuming sugar in excess of recommended levels. Alarmingly, nearly half of this intake comes from sugary beverages, which remain a popular choice across all age groups despite ongoing health campaigns.
Similarly, salt intake is substantially higher than advised. About 75.9 per cent of adults were found to consume more than 5 grams of salt daily &mdash; equivalent to one teaspoon &mdash; with actual average consumption closer to 7.3 grams. Although there has been a slight improvement compared to previous years, Dr Dzulkefly warned that the figures remain concerning.
&ldquo;These habits, though they may seem minor or occasional, carry major health consequences. They are fuelling the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in the country &mdash; all stemming from our daily food choices,&rdquo; he said
Alarm Over Micronutrient Deficiencies
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1e8c5700529ed505e4e4edbac31268a85bfe230422281dbac3473abb4996cfb7" />
Beyond sugar and salt, the NHMS 2024 also exposes worrying gaps in micronutrient intake among Malaysians. A significant portion of the population is found to have insufficient iodine levels, with 45.7 per cent falling below the World Health Organisation&rsquo;s recommended standards.
Deficiencies in essential vitamins such as A and C are also widespread. Poor consumption of fruits and vegetables is largely to blame, with the survey showing that only 12.8 per cent of adolescents and 17.1 per cent of adults meet WHO&rsquo;s recommended daily fruit intake. Even fewer &mdash; just 5.2 per cent of adolescents and 12.2 per cent of adults &mdash; consume sufficient vegetables.
Dr Dzulkefly stressed that these figures paint a bleak picture of the nation&rsquo;s nutritional health. &ldquo;We are not eating enough fresh produce. This lack of basic nutrients has significant repercussions, weakening immune systems and heightening vulnerability to illnesses.&rdquo;
Ministry of Health Steps Up With Campaigns and Partnerships
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0aa72bbd6db5734f3a53d391b47c1b0d8b560113b1210fc11545b8f9e4dc7378" />
In response to these troubling trends, the Ministry of Health has launched a range of initiatives to encourage healthier eating habits nationwide.
Among the most notable is the War on Sugar Campaign, which aims to extend its outreach to all 222 parliamentary constituencies by 2027. Measures such as reducing the sugar content in instant beverage sachets from 5g to 3g, and the introduction of a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax, form part of this aggressive push.
Efforts are also being ramped up under the War on Salt Campaign, with a strong focus on public education, clearer nutritional labelling on food products, and greater collaboration with food operators to promote healthier recipes. Dr Dzulkefly said the Ministry is working closely with chefs and local businesses to popularise meals that are lower in sugar and salt without compromising on taste.
Symbolic changes are also being considered, including discontinuing the serving of heavy meals during official late-night events to set a positive example at the government level.
&ldquo;These are not just policies on paper. They are active, strategic moves to shift our national food culture in a healthier direction,&rdquo; Dr Dzulkefly asserted.
A National Call to Action: Start Small, Act Early
Above all, the Health Minister called on Malaysians to take the findings seriously and to view the NHMS 2024 report not merely as a set of statistics, but as an urgent wake-up call.
He encouraged the public to take advantage of free health and nutrition screenings available at Ministry of Health Wellness Hubs and other public health facilities. Early detection of dietary-related risks, he said, is critical in preventing more serious health complications down the line.
<img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdWp6OGUxcGZ4bWhuMXltcnpnMTNoZzlmbzJwMG5oeWFxaGpseDhpeiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/yWTrzwWVS9x1zHPIwT/giphy.gif" />
&ldquo;Start small. Adjust your habits bit by bit. Don&rsquo;t wait until it&rsquo;s too late. These small changes, if made consistently, can transform your future health outcomes,&rdquo; he urged.
The message is clear: while Malaysia&rsquo;s rich and vibrant food culture is a point of national pride, it must be enjoyed responsibly. In a nation where food is central to identity and community, achieving a balance between enjoyment and health is now more important than ever.
Never neglect your health, and don&rsquo;t wait till it&rsquo;s too late. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Malaysians Urged To Rethink Late-Night Eating Habits Amid Health Concerns

Klang Valley residents planning to be out and about on Friday, 26 April, are strongly advised to steer clear of Bukit Jalil, which is set to be inundated with crowds due to two major back-to-back events expected to draw more than 100,000 people.
Malaysia Cup Final and Amy Search Concert Happening Simultaneously 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2972c1808ab61964af6e32e80708535f60379639f8683c9cc46287abc4dd0e32" />
The Malaysia Cup Final between Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) and Sri Pahang FC will kick off at 9.00pm at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, while rock legend Datuk Amy Search will be performing his Magic Konsert Solo Pertama at the nearby Axiata Arena, starting at 8.30pm.
Originally scheduled for 12 April, the Malaysia Cup Final was postponed to 26 April following requests from the finalist teams. The change allowed fans more time to participate, especially with the Hari Raya celebrations taking place earlier in the month.
Both events are expected to attract huge turnouts &mdash; the stadium alone can accommodate 87,500 spectators, and reports suggest over 60% of football tickets have already been sold, while Amy Search&rsquo;s concert has seen similarly high demand.
Authorities Brace for Major Congestion from 5PM Onwards
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/27a6ae43b5cdc7bb868228b5bf6f1ababcfafe82e0708fc57c4eb0165a806be6" />
With massive foot traffic heading to both venues in the same precinct, severe congestion is anticipated from as early as 5.00pm, potentially lasting well past midnight.
The public has been strongly encouraged to use public transportation, especially the LRT Sri Petaling Line, which stops directly at Bukit Jalil LRT Station &mdash; just a short walking distance to both venues.
To accommodate the rush, Rapid KL has announced extended operating hours for Bukit Jalil station and several key interchange stations across the Klang Valley until 12.30am on 27 April.
Extended LRT Hours: Stations Involved 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/79fd6fb3e2d377a29e2e947b48454fc751c9a85fe597df588df20f01859f06fc" />
Those planning to take the LRT are advised to ensure their Touch 'n Go cards are topped up in advance for a smoother experience. The following lines and stations will have extended hours:
🟥 Ampang / Sri Petaling Line:
<ul>
<li>Bukit Jalil (main station)</li>
<li>Sungai Besi</li>
<li>Plaza Rakyat</li>
<li>Masjid Jamek</li>

&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bea3e8c4c5501887f652dde625c15f384f225f5cc7c848ecc9a4404056c54547" />
If you must drive, authorities advise motorists to avoid peak times and consider using alternative expressways to bypass the worst of the traffic:
<ul>
<li>From Klang or Subang: Use the KESAS Expressway towards Sri Petaling.</li>
<li>From Cheras or Ampang: Take the SUKE Expressway.</li>
<li>From KL City Centre: The SMART Tunnel provides a quicker route from Jalan Tun Razak to Jalan Sungai Besi.</li>
</ul>
Leaving early and checking navigation apps for real-time traffic updates is highly recommended.
Tips to Navigate the Crowd Safely
To make your evening enjoyable and hassle-free, event organisers and local authorities have offered several key tips:
<ul>
<li>Arrive at least an hour early to avoid last-minute delays.</li>
<li>Secure your belongings and be cautious in crowded areas.</li>
<li>Stay hydrated and dress comfortably, especially if queuing outdoors.</li>
<li>Pay attention to announcements from the police, RapidKL, and DBKL.</li>
<li>Follow official social media channels for live traffic and event updates.</li>
</ul>
With careful planning, public cooperation, and a bit of patience, attendees can look forward to an unforgettable evening &mdash; whether you're cheering on your favourite football team or rocking out with a local music icon.

Traffic Alert: Over 100,000 Expected In Bukit Jalil For Football Final & Amy Search Concert On 26 April

&nbsp;
For many teachers, the classroom is more than just a place to deliver lessons &mdash; it becomes a second home, and students become, in a sense, extended family. Teaching is a profession that demands not only intellectual rigour, but immense emotional commitment. It involves sacrifice, patience, and a deep belief in the potential of every child, no matter how difficult the path may be.
This devotion is especially evident in the story of Muslim Ismail, a teacher at SMK Gemas in Negeri Sembilan, whose recent reflections about one of his students have touched the hearts of thousands online. His tribute is a powerful reminder that success in education is not always measured in grades or trophies, but in the lives changed &mdash; and the dignity preserved &mdash; along the way.
A Boy Who Felt Out of Place
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/00374dea87346022292adf62947e18ec568d697866ec58d14b81ae233bc8f313" />
In a moving Facebook post, Muslim shared the story of a student who never quite fit into the conventional academic mould. The boy wasn&rsquo;t disruptive or rebellious &mdash; he simply stopped attending school regularly during Form 4. His absence nearly led to expulsion, but thanks to the quiet perseverance of a special needs teacher, and later, Muslim himself, the boy slowly began returning to class.
&ldquo;He was a good student. Polite, soft-spoken. He never caused any trouble &mdash; he just wasn&rsquo;t present,&rdquo; Muslim wrote. &ldquo;Maybe the school environment didn&rsquo;t suit him. A place so focused on grades, comparisons and competition can be alienating, especially when you&rsquo;re struggling with comprehension or memory.&rdquo;
A Place to Belong: The Poetry and Song Club
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b0ace24ae3244e076f5376dfd98b9025f9e0463dd2a41e7c42c38c2723891bcb" />
Keen to draw the boy back into school life, Muslim tried a different approach &mdash; one based not on academic pressure, but on empathy. He discovered that the boy had a love for music, so he encouraged him to join the school&rsquo;s poetry and song club.
They never won any contests. That, however, was never the goal.
&ldquo;He came back to school, I believe, because he felt accepted. Valued. That might have been the only fond memory he had of school,&rdquo; Muslim said.
In the classroom, the boy continued to struggle. He consistently failed exams, but he approached his assignments in the Landscape and Nursery vocational subject with determination. His work was rarely perfect, yet he applied himself with care and effort. Muslim never scolded him, knowing that for this student, just trying was already a victory.
A Long-Awaited Victory, Too Late to See 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/7ec65881a6831b168d4bd468d2ad2f49e2d75c2da745ff70b969dea52bf6cfa1" /> 
Then came the 2023 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations &mdash; the final academic hurdle for many Malaysian students. When results were released on 24 April 2024, Muslim was overjoyed to see the boy had finally achieved a pass.
In fact, he scored an A- &mdash; in none other than Landscape and Nursery.
It was his first and only passing grade. A triumph after years of struggle. But heartbreakingly, the student would never see it.
Just three days earlier, on 21 April, he had passed away from an infection following surgery for appendicitis. The news devastated Muslim and the school community. The boy had finally crossed the finish line &mdash; but life had taken him before he could bask in that success.
&ldquo;Suddenly I miss him,&rdquo; wrote fellow SMK Gemas teacher Mas Masliana. &ldquo;He was such a well-mannered boy.&rdquo;
A Final Farewell and A Prayer
In his post, Muslim&rsquo;s farewell to his student was deeply personal and spiritual. It captured the raw grief of an educator who had invested years of care into a young life &mdash; only to lose it just as hope began to bloom.
&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have many sins,&rdquo; he wrote to the boy. &ldquo;Maybe when the time comes, if I&rsquo;m on the other side, you could ask God to forgive me.&rdquo;
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmuslimismail%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02cMeDPSTZyqD2ogxunhwMH21WCQYCAoDzMYqwsZudtYxtNscLGui8UPRvBatXp94Yl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="607" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The post received an outpouring of support from netizens, who commended Muslim&rsquo;s compassion and praised the student&rsquo;s determination. Many were moved to tears, reflecting on the challenges so many children face in silence &mdash; and the life-changing power of a single adult who chooses to believe in them.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0c1b3f43a0b166970e0a9707d7b4fdf107a880f8af47a85ac8205914fc37d8e9" />
Rethinking Success and the Role of Educators
In a follow-up post, Muslim turned his attention to the broader education system. He urged the Ministry of Education to rethink how success is measured &mdash; not just for students, but for teachers as well.
&ldquo;Every subject has its value. You cannot compare a vocational subject to mathematics or science. Each requires a different skill set, a different mindset, and caters to a different kind of intelligence,&rdquo; he explained.
He pointed out that subjects such as Physical Education, often overlooked, play a vital role in helping students manage stress &mdash; an essential factor in academic performance. Similarly, a teacher who helps a student think logically, even if they fail the subject, still imparts a critical life skill.
&ldquo;Every teacher contributes to a student&rsquo;s development. Success isn&rsquo;t always about straight As,&rdquo; he said.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmuslimismail%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0vr1f5nT6uXexVSH1deH6CLcTTdkGgp6QkMuzC2cvEUfvcVRGPDefPdcj5vLBN2Jl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="284" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Teaching as an Act of Hope
Muslim&rsquo;s reflections have struck a deep chord among educators and parents alike. His story reminds us that teaching is not about producing perfect students &mdash; it&rsquo;s about meeting each child where they are, and walking with them, however long it takes.
It is about creating moments of dignity for children who feel like they don&rsquo;t belong. It is about opening doors, even when no one else believes the student will walk through them. And sometimes, it is about celebrating a single, hard-won achievement &mdash; even if the person it was meant for isn&rsquo;t there to receive it.
As Muslim aptly concluded, quoting a saying often misattributed to Einstein:
&ldquo;Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.&rdquo;
This story isn&rsquo;t just about one boy who passed a single subject. It&rsquo;s about the immeasurable impact of being seen, supported, and believed in &mdash; even once.
