Covid-19, a novel pneumonia infection is now the greatest transmittable outbreak in Malaysia, consequently after the 1920&rsquo;s Spanish Flu and the 1998&rsquo;s Nipah Virus. Originated from Wuhan, China, the viral infection was declared as outbreak by the World Health Organization (WHO). Malaysia&rsquo;s pandemic progression evolved with time. With vaccines as the only way out from this, Malaysia is now a step closer to achieving herd immunity. The vaccine roll out in Malaysia began in February 2021 and has achieved almost 70% of fully immunised adult population, at present.
Responding to the surge capacity, the government has been relatively successful in the vaccine administration for public. Entertainment and other public facilities like shopping malls, event halls and ballrooms, university accommodations are being well-utilized in aiding the national immunization program. Malaysians are also cooperative in complying to the safety guidelines set by the government.

UNIMAS Vaccination Centre&nbsp;
&nbsp;
As Malaysia is renowned for its preparedness and response to the pandemic, we couldn&rsquo;t have made it to today without our beloved frontliners. With an array of medical experts executing the vaccination process, have you ever stopped a second to appreciate the voluntary groups of the immunization centres? Relying on sole medical teams might not have been the efficient way to get the whole population of the country to be immunised at a faster rate.
Presence of volunteers at the PPV centres have boosted the inoculation rate effectively. Runners, vaccinators, usherers, registration personnel, different profiles different jobs but one goal; &lsquo;Demi Malaysia&rsquo;. Unsung heroes, they are. Endorsed by the Youth and Sports Ministry of Malaysia, the Malaysia Vaccine Support Volunteers (MyVac) initiative had some 80,000 individuals registered for the volunteerism opportunity in March and of the total, 4,500 volunteers were assigned to 332 vaccination centres, nationwide. The MyVac initiative requires volunteers aged above 18 years and ones with good health. Meanwhile, individuals with medical background may be offered a healthcare volunteer position, subjected to the Annual Practicing Certificate (APC).

Vaccination in one of PPVs in Malaysia.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Only a life lived for others is worth living&rdquo;, says a famous quote. Well, that is volunteerism in a nutshell. PPV volunteers in Malaysia, remain a topic which is not much discussed by many. Team MYC! have decided to step forward to capture some valuable insights by our fellow vaccine volunteers, throughout Malaysia. Hafiza Othman, one bold beautiful lady who had shared her experience on how it felt to be a PPV volunteer, was one wholesome engagement we had.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631269795/unsigned/kqjmnfmebm4lrb7ab2gd.png" width="500" height="550" />
The tall and beautiful Hafiza.
&nbsp;
The former staff of Malaysian Airlines told Team MYC! that she had a splendid experience being a PPV volunteer as she made new friends, met new people with various attitudes and background, spent her exciting days performing volunteerism at the Sendayan PPV centre.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631269817/unsigned/mr5uni6cgzxir42j02hq.png" width="500" height="450" />

&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Sarfiza Othman addressed herself as Fiza, an independent property agent also talked about her days of being a PPV volunteer at UNIMAS. &ldquo;Driven by my own profession, providing services to the public, is why I chose to become a volunteer&rdquo;, said Fiza. Also being a staff of UNIMAS herself, Fiza was highly eligible to become a volunteer at the designated facility. Generally, PPV volunteers are divided into two categories, healthcare volunteers and non-healthcare volunteers. Most volunteers shall be assigned to carry out ushering tasks, registration errands, observing vaccinated individuals for a specified time.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631269832/unsigned/b0e6wsdb5olnchaazyno.png" width="500" height="400" />

&nbsp;
However, that is just what we see on the surface. &ldquo;We have to work for long hours, spending most of the time standing and assisting the vaccination process&rdquo;, says Hafiza Othman during her days as a volunteer. She added that the voluntary work begins in the morning which that she shall report duty as early as 8 am.
Saying that volunteerism is also an elaborated version of public service, the volunteers at the PPV centres are highly opened to encounter various experiences. Lucky, if you&rsquo;ve got no harsh experience. Volunteers Sarfiza and Hafiza collectively extended their fortunate feeling on not facing crucial situations, throughout the volunteering process. &ldquo;I am fortunate to have no crisis-handling during the period but admitting that we will face all kinds of human behaviours, that is part of the challenges we have to deal with&rdquo;, Sarfiza quoted. Both ladies expressed their gratitude for being able to work in exciting places and guide through people in one of the most important events of their lives.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631269852/unsigned/yzc9aiertfham5y3es3x.png" width="500" height="400" />

&nbsp;
Notably, most of the volunteers at the PPV centres are from the youth community. With evolving responsibilities and commitments, these lads opted to shower love and kindness to the people through volunteerism. Servicing at UNIMAS over a decade, Sarfiza manages to swim against the tides where despite the challenges, with or without the pandemic, her goal is always to be kind, polite and exhibit compassion in her duties as a volunteer and a customer service officer. &ldquo;I love what I do&rdquo;, said Sarfiza.
On the other hand, the former staff of Malaysian Airlines (MAS), Hafiza Othman quoted that her love towards the people at the vaccination centres was also an application of her experience as an ex-flight crew. &ldquo;I treat the people I see at the inoculation centres just like my friends and family, based on my previous journey&rdquo;, Hafiza added. Patience is a virtue and flight attendants are one notable example serving love and kindness despite dealing with individuals from different walks of life.

Tied with abounding commitments and responsibilities, the volunteers steadily welcome the tasks with open arms. Earlier in June, a 22-year-old multimedia undergraduate regarded his volunteerism at the Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil vaccination centre as an invaluable experience. Renowned singer and actress Daiyan Trisha also spoke about her contribution as a PPV volunteer. She was grateful to lend a helping hand for a better future of Malaysia.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631269883/unsigned/ysxs3iqizgfuphdfhanl.png" width="500" height="400" />
Actress Daiyan Trisha added being a volunteer helped with improvment of her mental health.
&nbsp;
Hafiza Othman in her conversation with us also said that she has an overwhelming flow of chores but chose to spend her time in volunteerism as she was given a chance to channel her contribution for the betterment of her beloved nation. Former Miss Universe Malaysia Shweta Sekhon joined the bandwagon to appreciate the volunteers on their quick and smooth working mechanism. She even extended her heartfelt gratitude towards the police force and RELA (The People&rsquo;s Volunteer Corps) for uniting to combat the pandemic.

&nbsp;
If we were to say that the love of Malaysians towards the nation is the silver lining in the dark clouds, it would be the right metaphorical expression. Despite the hit of Covid-19 pandemic and the current disrupted socio-political climate of Malaysia, it&rsquo;s the spirit of patriotism that the volunteers had demonstrated, contributing to the nation&rsquo;s &lsquo;wellbeing&rsquo;. Our beloved Hafiza and Sarfiza also explained the sacrifices of public/personal holidays they have made to participate in the voluntary works at the designated PPV centres.
The 37-year-old Hafiza share on her juggle with house chores, personal errands, and tasks at the vaccination centres. &ldquo;I think this is the time for me to give back to the country and of course it has a special place in my memory journal&rdquo;, Hafiza quoted. Meanwhile, being a workaholic by logic, Sarfiza also regards her workload as a hectic one. Together we stand strong for our motherland.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631269925/unsigned/k1kjdyre6yvl96zlraia.png" width="500" height="400" />

&nbsp;
When we approached the volunteers to talk about how they spread kindness and love throughout their journey as a volunteer, everyone had similar notions to say. &ldquo;I treat people the way I want to be treated. So, I guess that is fair enough to explain why I choose to be kind&rdquo;, said Aiden, a 23-year-old nursing student. Elizabeth Tan, a pretty and young volunteer chose to spend her semester break with this noble deed.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1631269940/unsigned/bvkpjmg9xtgvpkpz0dy4.png" width="500" height="400" />
Elizabeth Tan, first from left.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Tan insisted to be kind to the vaccine recipients because she thinks it shall be one&rsquo;s essential quality, especially when you&rsquo;re a volunteer. She affirmed that people would be fearful and worried about the side effects of vaccines, thus as a volunteer, she believes kindness could uplift their emotions and distract them from the fright.
Designated at the IIUM PPV, Azliza Ain shared her thoughts on kindness in volunteerism too. She told MYC that, everyone deserves too be vaccinated according to the governmental policies, hence volunteers shall act out their duties with love and kindness regardless the recipients&rsquo; age, gender, financial status, language, educational background, etc. &ldquo;Kindness is universal, and everyone understands it&rdquo;, said Azliza.
Although volunteerism is a tiring task, our fellow volunteers enjoyed the process and even shared their unforgettable experiences with us. &ldquo;My unforgettable memory was probably meeting a recipient who wore a Micky Mouse mascot and hilariously some even attended the appointment with full PPE suit (Personal Protection Equipment)&rdquo;, said Tan about one of her entertaining days at the CIVac @ Panasonic Stadium Shah Alam.
Meanwhile, Aisyah, a PPV volunteer at the HCO-B, PPV Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, quoted that her experience as a volunteer was among the good days of her life. &ldquo;One of our small projects during the volunteerism period was crowd funding for vaccinees. There are these two weeks where the non-Malaysians came to get their vaccine and they had to queue since the night before. At times, when we arrive at the PPV centre, there would still be foreigners patiently waiting to get their jabs. Due to a longer wait, by the time they reach the vaccine station, some of them would be shaking or even pass out of tiredness and hunger. So, we chipped in some money among the volunteers, doctors, vaccinators to buy food for them&rdquo;, said Aisyah about her humane deed as a volunteer.
We think that these volunteers deserve applause for spreading love and kindness in all possible ways!
Recently, a video of a multilingual PPV volunteer had grabbed the attention of the netizens. She was praised for her extraordinary ability to converse in various languages to facilitate smooth interaction with the vaccine recipients at the centre. Even based on our personal experiences, most of us would have encountered polite and kind volunteers at the PPV centres. Reflecting well mannered body language and respectful communication skills.

&nbsp;
It is a great gesture that Malaysia acquires a coordinated and comprehensive public health system to curb the pandemic spread. We are also very much closer to achieve herd immunity. Vaccination process soon would come to an end as most people are getting their jabs already. However, Malaysia shall undergo a transition in vaccination as the adolescence are now being prepped for their jabs. With much hope, may more volunteers jump into the task force to direct the nation towards 100% vaccinated population. In the meantime, don&rsquo;t you forget to spread love and kindness regardless of wherever you are, the world needs it more.

&nbsp;
Team MYC would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude and take this opportunity to thank every volunteer, especially the great ones we approached. Photograph credits to respective volunteers.&nbsp;

Here is how the selfless PPV volunteers spread love and kindness in all possible ways.

Pregnant Park Shin Hye Announces To Be Married January 2022!

We all know how strict North Korea is as they have been totally separated from the world.
Recently, a man in North Korea has been sentenced to death as he had smuggled and sold copies of the hit Netflix series &ldquo;Squid Game&rdquo; after authorities had caught seven high school students watching the show.
The smuggler is said to have brought the copy of the show from China and had sold USB flash drives containing the series.
Claims from sources in North Korea say that his death will be carried out by firing squad.
<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3a/d0/39/3ad039f9eece51a4f3383f404d7c9e4a.gif" />
&nbsp;
Students given sentences
One student who bought the drive had receive a life sentence while the other six have been sentenced to give years of hard labour.
Reports say that a week before this incident, copies of the show have been spreading across North Korea via flash drives and SD cards.
How did the students get caught? 
<img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/xUOxfdHxb0mg262P4I/giphy.gif?cid=790b76119257b6a42b6b01cd4948f0f980f1a886f0056719&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Jersey Shore Youre Busted GIF" />
&nbsp;
According to Radio Free Asia (RFA), this is the details of how they caught the students:
&ldquo;This all started last week when a high school student secretly bought a USB flash drive containing the South Korean drama Squid Game and watched it with one of his best friends in class,&rdquo; a source in law enforcement in North Hamgyong province told RFA&rsquo;s Korean Service Monday.
&ldquo;The friend told several other students, who became interested, and they shared the flash drive with them. They were caught by the censors in 109 Sangmu, who had received a tipoff,&rdquo; said the source, referring to the government strike force that specializes in catching illegal video watchers, known officially as Surveillance Bureau Group 109.
Introduction of a new law and punishing others 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637914624/unsigned/ewyi8enx58a7sle0iz7m.jpg" alt="" width="838" height="586" />
&nbsp;
With the incident involving minors, a newly passed law was used which was the &ldquo;Elimination of Reactionary Thought and Culture&rdquo;. It was introduced back in December 2020 and carries a maximum death penalty for watching, keeping or distributing media from capitalist countries.
Teachers and school administrators have also been fired and faced banishment to work in the remote mines and rural areas.
The aftermath of all this had made all authorities to begin sourcing markets for memory storage devices and video CDs containing foreign media. Another source says that one student had managed to get away as his rich parents had bribe authorities with US$3,000 (~RM707).
Boy, can you imagine getting a life sentence for watching a foreign show. But then again, everyone knew how strict North Korea is and heck, remember when Covid-19 first came up, they shot the man who was positive with the virus in order to curb the virus but that didn&rsquo;t go so well as they currently have more than 100,000 people with Covid-19 symptoms and are quarantined in state facilities according to a report by DailyNK.
Well, hopefully one day North Korea will change and then one day they will get to properly see the world. That and I lowkey do want to go to North Korea one day (am I the only one?). 
What do you think of this article? Let us know in the comments.

North Korean Man To Be Executed For Smuggling “Squid Game” Into Country

There are a lot of ways for people to learn the art of swearing from such as lyrics, friends or movies. However, a privileged few learn it from their parents including two children based in United States of an immigrant mother from Malaysia.
We all know that swear words don't always go down well in Malaysian homes, which is why people are praising this Malaysian mother for teaching her children local swear words with such excitement!
The family was featured on Cut&rsquo;s YouTube video titled &ldquo;Immigrant Parents Teach Insults in Their Mother Tongue&rdquo; and let me just tell you that she did a fantastic job of trying to teach them
The video begins with a Malaysian mother teaching her two children how to speak "Kepala b*t*h,"
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637906670/unsigned/ik5uoj00j6ecoa1slqae.png" alt="" width="650" height="326" />
When her son asked her what it meant, she said, &ldquo;Oh, like d*ck. But, d*ck is the whole thing, right? This one is only the head.&rdquo;
She went then on to explain the phrase 'P*k*mak,' which she defined as being conceptually similar to' motherf*ck*r.'
The Malaysian mum insisted her kids to say &lsquo;P*k*mak&rsquo; with anger and passion
She explained to her children and the audience that the word translates to a female's genitalia but it is also used as the English equivalent of the term motherf*cker.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637906730/unsigned/mfiesx41mlwpkjoh1f6d.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="326" />
When her westernised children tried to cuss it out, you could see the disappointment on her face.
&ldquo;They don&rsquo;t say it like the Malaysians say it, they are more American,&rdquo; she said.
&ldquo;You have to show anger. The anger must come from inside, you know? And in your brain, say it with your heart and soul. &lsquo; she also stated
But to be fair, most of us wouldn&rsquo;t be able to cuss properly in front of our parents
She also taught them how to say &lsquo;pergi mampuslah engkau&rsquo;, which means &lsquo;go die la you&rsquo;
&ldquo;Usually to all the b*tches, and Malaysian b*tches. Those who make me mad,&rdquo; she hilariously explains when her son asks her who does she say it to.
That video had left positive comments, users expressed on how much they LOVE the Malaysian mum&rsquo;s approach and her personality and attitude in the video.
We do need more of that Malaysian mum!

So what do you think the best way to express that particularly vulgar term? And have any of you ever tried swearing Infront of your Malaysian parents?

Watch: Malaysian Mother Abroad Tries Having Her Kids Learn Local Swear Words

Malaysians can now worry less about their wallets when wanting to purchase Covid-19 self-test kits. Previously, they have been priced at RM19.90 per kit and now we can finally purchase kits for as low as RM4.90.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637901840/unsigned/qsjwkvgd3gp8aexrzfoc.jpg" alt="" width="838" height="560" />
&nbsp;
To get test kits at this low of a price, all you have to do is visit your nearby 99 Speedmart outlet said Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Falexnantalinggi%2Fposts%2F445162313638744&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="805" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The minister shares on how they have been putting efforts to bring down the price of the self-test kits from the initial RM39.90. The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) had taken attention to the voices of the public as they had been affected by the price.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637901903/unsigned/dxkobwdsu1hxqfbwvu1k.webp" alt="" width="838" height="838" />
&nbsp;
Additionally, he had also agreed that the prices of the kit had to be further reduced without compromising the test kit&rsquo;s quality.
&ldquo;I want this kit to be able to be bought at an affordable price so that all citizens can carry out self-tests frequently,&rdquo; he said in his Facebook post.
His ministry is strategizing a way to grant permission to enable more premises such as chain stores and supermarkets to sell the Covid-19 self-test kits approved by the Health Ministry and the Health Ministry&rsquo;s Medical Device Authority (MDA).
&ldquo;As of now, KPDNHEP has already granted approvals to 7,302 premises nationwide to sell self-test kits approved by the Health Ministry and MDA. The expansion of this selling has already seen this kit&rsquo;s price being sold at RM6.90,&rdquo; he said when attributing the selling of COVID-19 test kits at RM6.90.
The initiative of 99 Speedmart to sell the kits at RM4.90 truly delighted the minister. Cooperation from such businesses like this are much appreciated as it helps reduce the burden of the public.
I wonder if it can go lower than RM3.90? This is a good initiative as the public does not need to worry about the prices of test kits. What do you think of this? Let us know your thoughts!

Looks like Sajat is going international as the Malaysian entrepreneur says she will be flying to the United States in January to appear on Ellen DeGeneres&rsquo; talk show.

&nbsp;
Currently, Sajat is based in <a href="https://myc.com.my/articles/602/sajat-flees-thailand-as-australia-grants-her-asylum">Australia</a> after the country had granted her asylum as the Australian government realised she was &ldquo;intimidated and abused in Malaysia&rdquo;. Ever since then, she has been receiving attention and put on a spotlight on Malaysian attitudes towards transgender people.
She had announced her news on TikTok over the weekend.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@sajat.issa/video/7033661128806796570" data-video-id="7033661128806796570">

Aside from traveling to the US, she will also be traveling to Singapore in February, but she did not specifically state why.
If she manages to appear in the talk show, Sajat will become the second Malaysian celebrity to be interviewed by DeGeneres. The first Malaysian on the show was none other than British-Iban actor Henry Golding who stared in the hit rom-com Crazy Rich Asians.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1G9UNULKI3Q" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
If Sajat does appear on the show, it will be her biggest appearance yet. Additionally, why she&rsquo;ll likely be okay to appear on the show is that Ellen Lee DeGeneres herself has also openly admitted she is homosexual and many still view her show despite the statement.
At the moment, The Ellen Show is currently in it&rsquo;s 19th and final season but there is no confirmation on when the talk show&rsquo;s last episode will be aired. US entertainment sites speculate that the shows last episode will likely end in the summer of 2022 according to entertainment sites.
Sajat to receive more work opportunities 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637894958/unsigned/j0fou8vt9scbyo1q4k0q.jpg" alt="" width="838" height="628" />
&nbsp;
According to the 36-year-old, she says she&rsquo;ll receive more work opportunities once she masters the English language. Currently her schedule is described to be super packed. &ldquo;Once I learn to speak English, she&rsquo;ll be flying and flying and flying&rdquo; said Sajat. In her statement, she described &ldquo;flying&rdquo; as expanding her work more.
As she&rsquo;s been granted asylum in Australia, Sajat is eager to start a new life and had sold off her businesses in Malaysia as she won&rsquo;t be returning home.
Despite receiving asylum in Australia, the Malaysian government says they&rsquo;ll still attempt to bring Sajat back to Malaysia. Honestly speaking, the government should focus on more local issues than trying to find one person internationally. Yes, the law is the law, but is it really worth the time?

Land VTL Via Johor Causeway To Singapore To Launch On 29 Nov 2021

Adjusting yourself from a &lsquo;student mode&rsquo; to being an &lsquo;employee-and-pay-your-own-bills-and-know-how-to-deal-with-the-adult-life-mode&rsquo; can be a challenge.
Nothing is like from previous tasks and assignments, the after-uni journey does not come with any instructions or guide especially when one lands on a job.
No more Arial, New Times Roman, or Calibri, font size 12, justified.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637811893/unsigned/msqxlcqerb3i4uka3ahe.gif" alt="" width="200" height="200" />
Nonetheless, many students are given the opportunity to experience the after-uni journey for a certain period of 3-6months in the working industries which helps them to release themselves from &lsquo;student mode&rsquo; and build confidence for the first real employment, their internship.
A Bachelor of Business (Hons) International Business graduate from INTI International University, Vincent Lee Hi How shared his experience with us on how he managed to make sales of RM250,000 sales per month as an intern at StemLife, a leading private cord blood stem cell bank in Malaysia, which gave him the confidence boost he needed.
Vincent expressed that it is crucial to have clarity on the organization's goals and strategies before planning individual tasks.
&ldquo;Once I completed my first week of training, I obtained a clearer picture of the organization&rsquo;s goals and strategies which in return helped me plan my daily tasks.
"This also motivated me to achieve my first RM10,000 monthly sales,&rdquo; he said.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637813086/unsigned/vfr8c3nsuy2cau0bgzwo.jpg" alt="StemLife as a one of the leading cord blood banking in Malaysia" width="500" height="358" />StemLife as a one of the leading cord blood banking in Malaysia
&nbsp;
Success does not roll from anywhere around without effort and strategies.
The 25-year-old pushed himself to work round the clock to look for prospective clients from various healthcare institutions. Once he started hitting his targets, he knew his planning and strategies were on the mark.
An internship is not about being committed to work and learning about the skill alone, but students also get to meet helpful managers, friendly colleagues, and supportive clients. Hit two birds with one stone, one can improve his/her communication skills as well with new people they meet at work.
Vincent excitedly explained, &ldquo;Although my first language is Mandarin, I was able to sharpen my English during that time.
"I gained more confidence during my meetings with professionals and was able to handle their questions well, helping me to close sales,&rdquo; said Vincent who recently completed the Master in Business Administration program at INTI International University.
Many people nowadays are too abide by the rule where they should stick to the same program studied until the end of their life.
Haiyaaa (Uncle Roger's slang), don&rsquo;t treat life so plain. Add some spices!
Vincent proved that even though his degree and post-graduate degree are not specifically correlated to his current employment or internship, the academic knowledge and experiences he garnered have broadened his horizons as an entrepreneur.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1637812560/unsigned/txkgkphpzefnqhnocvge.jpg" alt="Vincent is now teaching account subject at Chung Hua High School in Seremban while also running a tuition center nearby." width="500" height="301" />Vincent is now teaching account subject at Chung Hua High School in Seremban while also running a tuition center nearby.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;INTI facilitated my academic journey through innovative teaching and learning and individual development.
&ldquo;INTI's teaching and learning framework empower students like me with adequate skill sets and experiences to work alongside rapid digital transformation and to make the most of global opportunities," he said.
Making his skills gained during the internship useful, he admitted that it was very helpful for him to secure his first job.
Vincent proceeded to further his study in master's degree after realizing that nothing could be in his way for him to keep on improving his life.
"While pursuing my MBA, I learned skillsets needed to set up a business, how to operate a business and how to manage employees as well.
"INTI not only prepared me to become an employee but also prepared me to become a leader and entrepreneur," he added.
&nbsp;
There will always be challenges and puddles along the path. We might stumble and get our knees scratch. Our clothes could get dirty too in the way.
The question is, are you gonna cry about it while sitting in the puddle or get up, wash the clothes, treat that wound in the knee, and laugh about it.
