Dear DISTED Community,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As the saying goes,\u00a0<\/span>\u201ctime flies\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0\u548c\u00a0<\/span>\u201ctime waits for no one.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0We have already reached the end of the first quarter of 2026. Recently, we concluded the election for the Student Representative Council, and we are pleased to announce that the new President is Isabelle Yeoh. Congratulations to our student body and to Isabelle. We look forward to the upcoming leadership handover dinner, where we will celebrate the achievements of the outgoing SRC, and I am excited to see the plans that the new SRC will bring under Isabelle\u2019s leadership.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Last week\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day reminded us of the remarkable impact women make in shaping our society. To our DISTED community, I extend heartfelt wishes as we continue to\u00a0honour\u00a0the strength, vision, and dedication of women everywhere. Let us keep building a campus culture where every individual is empowered to excel and to lead purposefully.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Next week is our examination week, followed by the Hari Raya\u00a0Aidilfitri\u00a0break. To our students, I encourage you to do your best in your\u00a0exams and\u00a0then take the time to celebrate with your friends and loved ones during the festive week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This time of the year also marks Earth Hour, a global reminder of our shared responsibility toward environmental sustainability. We strongly encourage everyone in our community to\u00a0practise\u00a0reducing, reusing, and recycling, and to play a part in caring for our planet.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>

As many in our community begin preparing for Eid, I wish you\u00a0a\u00a0joyous\u00a0celebration\u00a0ahead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Selamat Hari Raya\u00a0Aidilfitri!<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>

On International Women\u2019s Day, DISTED College proudly\u00a0recognises\u00a0the exceptional women whose dedication, leadership, and talent contribute to the strength and success of our institution. Their roles span across classrooms, laboratories, offices, student support units, and senior management\u2014each one leaving a meaningful impact on the college community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The women of DISTED are more than staff members; they are catalysts for growth and positive change. Lecturers ignite curiosity through thoughtful teaching and create environments where students feel empowered to learn and explore. Administrators ensure that operations run smoothly, often navigating challenges with precision and grace. Leaders foster collaboration, inclusivity, and vision, shaping the direction of the college with courage and clarity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Their contributions reach far beyond measurable outcomes. They influence the confidence of students discovering their potential, the cohesion of teams working toward shared goals, and the resilience that anchors the institution through evolving demands. Their ability to mentor, innovate, problem-solve, and multitask reflects a level of commitment that strengthens the entire community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Today, we\u00a0honour\u00a0the educators, administrators, mentors, decision-makers, and quiet achievers whose presence makes DISTED College a vibrant and supportive place of learning. Their dedication not only\u00a0maintains\u00a0the heartbeat of daily operations but also connects people, ideas, and purpose in ways that enrich the entire campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To all the women of DISTED College: thank you for leading with excellence, heart, and integrity. Your contributions illuminate the path toward a stronger and more inclusive future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Diploma Pathways: Flexible, Accessible, Immersive and Relevant \u2014 A FAIR Choice for Your Future \n<\/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

Choosing what to do after SPM can feel overwhelming, and many students experience the same FEAR\u2014fear of choosing the wrong path, fear of expectations, fear of academic pressure, and fear of not feeling ready for higher education. Instead of letting fear dictate the next step, many find clarity and direction by choosing a pathway that is FAIR.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A diploma\u00a0represents\u00a0a FAIR choice because it is flexible, accessible, and relevant to the needs of today\u2019s learners. It creates an environment where students can grow at a comfortable pace, learn through experience, and build confidence gradually. This approach is reflected in the experiences of students like Jayden\u00a0Luke\u00a0Steven, a\u00a0final\u00a0year\u00a0Diploma in Mass Communication student, who shared, \u201cI used to think college would be tough\u2014so many people, high expectations, pressure from lecturers, and the fear of failing exams. But the diploma\u00a0programme\u00a0gave me structure and technical skills that I\u00a0understand. The teaching prepares me for the workplace and helps me feel ready for\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0waiting out there.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Diploma\u00a0programmes\u00a0offer hands-on learning, practical modules, and exposure to real industry practices. Students work on projects, use professional tools, and gain internship experience that strengthens their confidence and employability.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The learning process is accessible and guided, allowing students from various academic backgrounds to adjust comfortably to college expectations. Lecturers play a key role in supporting students through structured lessons, continuous feedback, and a learning environment designed to build skills step by step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Relevance is another important strength. Diploma curricula are developed with industry needs in mind, ensuring that students graduate with practical abilities, meaningful portfolios, and the readiness to either enter the workforce or progress to a degree. This combination of relevance, structure, and support makes the diploma\u00a0a strong foundation\u00a0for future study or career opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A diploma is not a second choice\u2014it is a FAIR choice. It reduces FEAR by offering guidance,\u00a0industry integrated learning, and a pathway designed to help students discover their strengths and move forward with confidence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

Bizsquad Co. hosted its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 3 February 2026 to review the past year\u2019s achievements and elect a new committee to guide the club\u2019s direction. The newly appointed team comprises President Ryan Wei Jie Xin, Vice President Leharri Seravanan, Secretary Loh Jun Wei, Webmaster Sharwinez Vikranaj, and Treasurer Zachary Ong. <\/span><\/p>\n

The AGM also served as an opportunity to reflect on Bizsquad\u2019s mission and the valuable experiences gained throughout the year. One of the club\u2019s standout projects involved operating a food and souvenir stall for students visiting DISTED College from Thailand. The initiative proved financially successful while giving members hands-on exposure to business fundamentals such as operations management, customer service, budgeting, and teamwork. It also enhanced the campus atmosphere by adding more food options during peak hours. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to this, Bizsquad organised another food stall, participated in the Eden Charity Food Fair, and carried out several team-building activities to strengthen member engagement and collaborative skills. These events helped members develop practical business insights and build confidence in working together as a team. <\/span><\/p>\n

The newly elected committee is committed to continuing this strong foundation. Plans for the coming year include additional food stalls, more structured team\u2011building activities, and deeper involvement in college-wide events. Through these initiatives, Bizsquad aims to continue nurturing students\u2019 skills in business, finance, entrepreneurship, and leadership while expanding the club\u2019s presence and impact on campus. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Diploma in Creative Multimedia Production (DCMP) programme recently underwent its scheduled Maintenance Audit conducted by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) on 26 and 27 February 2026. This periodic audit plays a key role in ensuring that the programme continues to uphold the standards outlined in the MQA Programme Standards while\u00a0remaining\u00a0responsive to evolving industry expectations within the creative and multimedia sectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Throughout the two-day evaluation, the audit panel engaged with both academic staff and current students to obtain a holistic understanding of the programme\u2019s implementation and effectiveness. Lecturers shared detailed perspectives on curriculum planning, assessment methods, teaching approaches, and industry collaboration activities. Students, on the other hand, provided valuable reflections on their learning experience, access to resources, programme structure, and overall academic support. These stakeholder insights contributed significantly to the panel\u2019s review of the programme\u2019s quality assurance practices and its ongoing relevance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The audit concluded successfully, with professional and constructive discussions held between the panel and the programme team. The panel affirmed that the DCMP programme continues to meet essential quality standards and acknowledged several programme strengths. Only minor recommendations were proposed, focusing on areas that could further refine curriculum delivery, enhance student learning, and strengthen continuous improvement efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

These suggestions will serve as meaningful guidance as the School of Communication, Arts and Multimedia continues to advance the quality and impact of the DCMP programme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Statistics class adopted an interactive and student\u2011centred approach aimed at helping learners connect with statistical concepts in an accessible and meaningful way. Instead of starting with formulas or detailed theoretical explanations, the session focused on building engagement through enjoyable, practical activities that demonstrated how statistics appears in everyday life.<\/span><\/p>

Using group discussions, collaborative tasks, and hands-on exercises, students were encouraged to think critically and communicate their ideas with peers. These activities helped demystify statistical concepts by presenting them through relatable scenarios, making the subject feel less intimidating and more relevant to real-world decision\u2011making and problem\u2011solving.<\/span><\/p>

Students responded positively to the approach, noting that the activities allowed them to better understand the purpose behind statistical thinking. By linking abstract ideas to daily observations and experiences, the class fostered curiosity and improved confidence among learners.<\/span><\/p>

The session also cultivated an inclusive environment where students felt comfortable asking questions, sharing perspectives, and learning from one another. This emphasis on active<\/span><\/p>

participation and collaborative learning contributes to a supportive classroom culture that enhances both understanding and engagement.<\/span><\/p>

Overall, the interactive activities successfully set a strong foundation for continued learning by encouraging exploration, discussion, and enthusiasm toward the subject.<\/span><\/p>

International Women\u2019s Day honours the strength, resilience, and achievements of women from all\u00a0walks of life. At DISTED College, we celebrate these inspiring stories\u2014women who pursue their passions fearlessly while excelling academically and personally. One such student is Tan Ying Ying, a final-semester Foundation in Science student whose dedication shines both in the classroom and on the shooting range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

On 30 January 2026, Ying Ying achieved a remarkable milestone, securing two gold medals in the 50m Prone Women\u2019s event at the Sport Excel\/NSC\/Milo\/NSAM 1st Malaysian Junior Shooting Championship 2026 and the Selangor Shooting Championship. Competing in both Junior and Senior categories, she\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0skill, consistency, and composure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Balancing competitive shooting with her biology studies is no small task, yet Ying Ying approaches both with discipline and focus. Her journey shows that passion can thrive alongside academics\u2014proving that determination truly hits the mark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As the world celebrates International Women\u2019s Day, DISTED College is proud to highlight the increasing influence and achievements of women in the world of technology and computer science. Once considered a male\u2011driven domain, the tech landscape has evolved significantly, with women playing vital roles in shaping innovation, driving research, and pushing the boundaries of digital transformation. This global change is mirrored at DISTED, where more female students are boldly stepping into fields such as programming, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and data science.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

These students\u00a0represent\u00a0a new generation of thinkers and creators who challenge outdated stereotypes and redefine what it means to thrive in computing. Their determination\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0that technology is not restricted by gender but is enriched by diverse voices and perspectives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A key strength of this movement at DISTED lies in the leadership of our female computing lecturers. Their\u00a0expertise\u00a0in AI, intelligent systems, data analytics, and software development provides students with both mentorship and aspiration. They model resilience, creativity, and professional excellence\u2014showing young women that a future in tech is not only possible but full of opportunity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Through supportive teaching approaches, hands\u2011on learning experiences, and real\u2011world problem\u2011solving, these educators help cultivate an environment where all students, particularly girls, feel empowered to explore, innovate, and succeed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As digital transformation continues to reshape industries, DISTED\u00a0remains\u00a0committed to championing women in tech. By fostering confidence, curiosity, and equal opportunity, we aim to nurture a future where strong, capable women lead the way in shaping the technological world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
