At last weekend\u2019s Speechcraft event, our students delivered heartfelt presentations with poise, humor, and confidence. Well done to Matthew, Partha, Melvina, and Ying Ying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Cambridge A Level results, announced on 12 August 2025, were excellent: 42% of our students achieved at least one A grade. We are especially proud of Chesney, our A Level scholarship holder under the SIWU Education Trust, who achieved an outstanding 4A*. Congratulations to all our students for their remarkable accomplishments!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My colleagues on the academic team also dedicated three days last week to enhancing student learning outcomes and broadening Work-Based Learning initiatives at DISTED. The Code of Practice for Programme Accreditation (COPPA), facilitated by Professor Dr. Sharipah Ruzaina, was both insightful and inspiring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are excited to announce the integration of hands-on AI training into our Diploma in IT and Computer Science programmes starting this August. This integration will enable our Diploma in IT and Diploma in Computer Science students to earn a Pearson AI Specialist Badge, equipping them with practical, industry-relevant skills for the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We also extend a warm welcome to our newest students who joined the HELP Degree Programmes during this week\u2019s orientation.

in during school, I always looked forward to the next Speechcraft session. For the first time, I recognised the importance of my involvement. It was an opportunity to learn a new skill, overcome my fear of public speaking, and prepare for future interviews with greater confidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I discovered that public speaking is not only about having the courage to stand before an audience. The process of writing and planning the speech is equally important. Through Speechcraft, I learned how structure, body language, vocal variety, and pacing can influence the effectiveness of a speech. When delivered well, a speech can evoke emotion and even shift perspectives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Ms Jesscia Ang and the members of the Great2B Toastmasters Club for their guidance and support.

and Multimedia (SCM), in collaboration with the School of Psychology at DISTED College, conducted a large-scale workshop on Cyberbullying and Stress Management at SMJK Chung Ling. The session was attended by more than 700 students, marking one of DISTED\u2019s largest outreach efforts this year aimed at promoting mental health awareness and digital responsibility among Malaysian youth. The workshop addressed the growing prevalence of cyberbullying in Malaysia, a concern that has gained urgency following several heartbreaking incidents. Malaysia currently ranks fifth globally and second in Asia for cyberbullying prevalence, according to UNICEF. The session paid particular attention to the tragic cases of Davia Emelia, a teenager who took her own life after an Instagram poll, and Esha, a young TikToker who reportedly died after being targeted by online threats during a live stream. These stories served as sobering reminders of the real-world consequences of unchecked online harassment and underscored the need for education, empathy, and proactive intervention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The students at Chung Ling responded with energy and maturity, engaging actively in discussions and participating with great enthusiasm in the interactive segments. The session covered the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of cyberbullying, while also stressing that it is not just harmful\u2014it is illegal. Relevant Malaysian legislation was explained in simple terms, helping students understand the laws in place and their rights as digital citizens. The session concluded with guidance on how to respond if targeted, including steps to report abuse and where to turn for help\u2014whether to trusted adults, school counsellors, or relevant authorities. \u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Beyond raising awareness, the workshop aimed to empower students with knowledge and emotional resilience. At DISTED, the value of \u201ccaring\u201d extends far beyond the classroom. By addressing urgent social issues and bringing knowledge directly to young learners in schools, DISTED is committed to cultivating a generation of informed, empathetic, and responsible individuals. This workshop reflects our dedication to creating impact\u2014not just within our institution but across the wider community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nadia Jefri\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Head, School of Communication, Arts and Multimedia\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-050189f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"050189f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-18c262d\" data-id=\"18c262d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b8db53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b8db53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Phor Tay Private High School Students Engage in Career Discovery at DISTED College <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f5bfcb0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f5bfcb0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-baa956d\" data-id=\"baa956d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a7a95f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6a7a95f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/PHOTO-2025-06-23-07-44-31.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3d4d1f5\" data-id=\"3d4d1f5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b32967a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b32967a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On June 21, 2025, DISTED College had the pleasure of welcoming 13 enthusiastic secondary students from Phor Tay Private High School for a half-day educational visit.

Students learned how understanding their interests, values, and personality traits can help them make more informed and confident decisions about their future academic and career paths.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Following the introduction, students participated in the Holland Code (RIASEC) career assessment, a widely used tool that categorises individuals into six personality types\u2014Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. With guidance from the lecturers, students interpreted their results and explored career options that align with their unique profiles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The session also included interactive discussions and reflective exercises, allowing students to share their thoughts, ask questions, and gain deeper insights into their personal strengths and aspirations. Many students expressed newfound clarity and motivation regarding their future goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Overall, the visit provided a meaningful and empowering experience for the students, equipping them with valuable tools for self-awareness and future planning.

Under the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, companies must disclose how climate risks impact financial performance, operations, and strategy. These risks may lead to asset impairments, increased provisions, or shifts in revenue and cost structures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At DISTED College, our Diploma and Degree in Accounting programs introduce students to the fundamentals of ESG reporting and its relevance in financial decision-making. Students learn how climate-related risks affect financial statements and how technology such as accounting information systems, data analytics, and FinTech can support sustainability reporting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This approach builds awareness of how the accounting profession contributes to sustainable and responsible business practices. By equipping students with this knowledge, DISTED prepares future accountants to meet the evolving demands of the industry and support businesses in navigating climate-related financial risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sharizan Abdul Rashid\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lecturer, School of Business and Hospitality\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excellence and Growth at DISTED Dear DISTED Community,\u00a0 DISTED College is heartened by the exemplary achievements of our Pre-University students.
