#Throwback v1

I come from a family of teachers.

Mum, sister, aunty, uncle & many more.

Teaching has always been in my blood.

Before i joined politics, i was privileged to be given the chance to teach & speak on debate & public speaking in more than 25 countries.

In Malaysia, i was the youngest part-timer at IIUM teaching Niche, Advance Debating & Public Speaking.

I was only 21 years old then. I was given the chance to teach at a university at an early age when i got into the Grand Final (ESL) of the Worlds Debating Championship during my 1st year in Uni.

Like my family, Teaching will always be in my blood.

I'll be hosting 5 #Thunderbold classes on Public Speaking, Debating, Critical Thinking & more, sharing my years of experience.

5 classes for only RM200. It is opened to all! 100% proceeds will go to purchasing quality Laptops/Tabs for underprivileged students in Muar.

See you in class.

Join us.

Throwback v2.

Before i joined debating, my English was not fluent & my general knowledge was even worse.

I thought Africa was a country & Egypt was a continent.

I do believe that hardwork will take me places.

I would memorize the english dictionary & watch as many documenteries/videos/movies in English.

I was jealous of my counterparts in Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard etc.

They get the best of debaters from all over the world to join their Uni & expose them to the best of trainings & competitions.

When i was in highschool, i'll watch their videos on Youtube & put it on replay until i'm well-versed with their style of debating.

My Highschool didn't allow for smartphones/laptops, so i smuggled in a low-specs second hand Acer laptop & hid it in the "English room" so that i can watch the videos from 10pm to 1am, daily.

In the Youtube Videos, when they forwarded an argument i never thought of, i'll reverse my thinking process & brainstorm how i overlooked this uniqie angle. I want to be as sharp & smart as the best in the world.

Fast forward, the photo above was taken at Cambridge University when i was awarded the Top 10 Debater for the Cambridge IV (Open).

This was the first time (that i could remember of), a debater from an Asian University from an ESL status, got into the top 10 list.

Usually, we will be awarded with a bottle of wine or champagne, but the organisers were kind enough to replace it with Chocolates when they found out i made the Top10 list.

The following year, Cambridge appointed me as their Co-Chief Judge of the Cambridge IV. Interestingly, another record was broken when a Malaysian team from UITM won the whole championship. I could never be prouder for Malaysia!

Message is, Hardwork is key. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it.

Finally out of my 14-day quarantine!

Had a good 7km jog at the Gardens by the bay.

Enjoyed my favourite Roti Ice Cream after.

I didn't waste any time during Quarantine.

I fundraised to buy new school uniforms/Equipments for the underprivileged students in Muar by teaching more than 180 students CRITICAL THINKING.

Alhamdulillah. We received RM34,480!!!

We will buy new school uniforms/equipements for ~250 families in Muar.
