As the founder of\u00a0Kelab\u00a0Penyayang\u00a0and a custodian of the\u00a0Tun Endon Scholarship,\u00a0Datuk Leela dedicated much of her life to serving others and creating opportunities for those in need. We extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones during this\u00a0difficult time.\u00a0<\/p><p>This week, I found myself reflecting on Datuk Leela&#8217;s generosity, resilience, and unwavering commitment to education. Despite being 86 years old, she travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Penang in 2025 to officiate the launch of the Tun Endon Scholarship at DISTED College. Her presence and support left\u00a0a lasting impression\u00a0on all who had the privilege of meeting her.\u00a0<\/p><p>I also hold dear the wisdom she shared with me:\u00a0\u201cOne must make a decision, and one must be able to cope with the consequences of that decision.\u201d\u00a0These simple yet profound words reflected the strength of character and conviction that she embodied throughout her life.\u00a0<\/p><p>Just as in every person&#8217;s life journey, we\u00a0encounter\u00a0many individuals along the way. Some leave\u00a0a lasting impression, influencing our perspectives and even altering the course of our journey. Datuk Leela was one such person. Through her generosity, compassion, and wisdom, she touched countless lives and inspired those around her to move forward with courage and purpose.\u00a0<\/p><p>Goodbye, Datuk Leela. You will be deeply\u00a0missed and\u00a0fondly remembered.\u00a0<\/p><p id=\"_spp5qCgJQGayHo\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>President\u00a0<br \/><\/strong><strong>Dato\u2019 Dr (h.c) Lim Si Boon<\/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-8b79779 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8b79779\" 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-57492f9\" data-id=\"57492f9\" 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-8e50801 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"8e50801\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42c8146 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"42c8146\" 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\">Young Communicators Take Centre Stage at Mic Drop 2026 <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02fc9fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"02fc9fb\" 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 fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vol-17.6-1.-SCM-1-1024x862.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-48527\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vol-17.6-1.-SCM-1-1024x862.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vol-17.6-1.-SCM-1-600x505.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vol-17.6-1.-SCM-1-768x646.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vol-17.6-1.-SCM-1-14x12.jpg 14w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vol-17.6-1.-SCM-1.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\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<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8835ccf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8835ccf\" 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 data-contrast=\"auto\">The School of Communication,\u00a0Arts\u00a0and Multimedia (SCM), DISTED College, marked another successful milestone with the organisation of its flagship outreach event,\u00a0Mic Drop 2026, on 25 July 2026.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The annual competition brought together aspiring young communicators from more than seven secondary schools across Penang, including SMK Convent Datuk Keramat, SMK Convent Green Lane, SMK Chinese Girls School Pulau Pinang, SMK Abdullah Munshi, Ideas International School, and several others.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:210,&quot;335559739&quot;:210,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This year&#8217;s event featured two exciting categories, the\u00a0Podcasting Challenge\u00a0and the\u00a0AI Advertising Challenge, offering participants a platform to\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0creativity, critical thinking, storytelling, and digital communication skills.

Designed around the theme\u00a0&#8220;Engage and Interact&#8221;, the event provided a welcoming and low-pressure platform for students to\u00a0showcase\u00a0their talents while strengthening campus engagement.\u00a0<\/p><p>Held across four weekly sessions, Open Mic 2026 featured a wide range of performances that reflected the creativity and diversity of the student community. From popular piano renditions and vocal performances to storytelling,\u00a0humour, and cultural showcases, students embraced the opportunity to express themselves in their own unique ways. Each session featured multiple performances, supported by emcees and intermission music that helped create an enjoyable and lively atmosphere.\u00a0<\/p><p>The event successfully\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0that talent exists throughout the campus and that providing an accessible and supportive environment can encourage students to share their abilities with confidence. Performers were given the freedom to express themselves without judgement, creating a positive space that celebrated individuality, creativity, and self-expression.\u00a0<\/p><p>Behind the scenes, Open Mic 2026 also provided valuable learning opportunities for the\u00a0organising\u00a0committee. The dynamic nature of the\u00a0programme\u00a0required\u00a0organisers\u00a0to respond quickly to technical challenges,\u00a0special performance\u00a0requirements, and last-minute changes. These experiences strengthened teamwork, adaptability, communication, and event management skills among SRC members.\u00a0<\/p><p>The success of Open Mic 2026 reinforced the importance of accessibility, engagement, and open communication in student activities. More importantly, it contributed to a vibrant campus culture where students felt encouraged to\u00a0participate, interact, and connect with one another.\u00a0<\/p><p>The event concluded on a high note, building excitement for the upcoming\u00a0DISTED Got Talent 2026, where students will once again have the opportunity to shine on a bigger stage.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Isabelle\u00a0<\/strong><br

Analytics) programme are equipped with the analytical knowledge and practical skills needed to thrive in a data-driven environment. Through\u00a0BDA101: Analytics for Decision Making, students are introduced to Tableau, one of the world&#8217;s leading data visualisation and business analytics platforms.\u00a0<\/p><p>The course focuses on helping students understand how data can be transformed into meaningful insights that support effective business and managerial decision-making. By analysing and visualising data, students learn to\u00a0identify\u00a0trends, patterns, and relationships that may otherwise remain hidden within large datasets.\u00a0<\/p><p>Throughout the course, students\u00a0participate\u00a0in hands-on activities using Tableau. They learn how to connect to various data sources,\u00a0prepare\u00a0and clean datasets, and create interactive visualisations including charts, graphs, maps, and dashboards. Students also apply filters, comparisons, and analytical techniques to examine data from different perspectives and develop deeper insights.\u00a0<\/p><p>Beyond technical\u00a0proficiency, the learning experience strengthens essential skills such as critical thinking, analytical reasoning, problem-solving, and data storytelling. These competencies enable students to communicate findings clearly and effectively to support evidence-based decision-making.\u00a0<\/p><p>As Tableau is widely used across industries such as business, finance, marketing, healthcare, and technology, students gain valuable industry-relevant experience that enhances their employability and career readiness. Exposure to practical analytics tools also prepares them to meet the growing demand for professionals who can interpret data and translate insights into strategic actions.\u00a0<\/p><p>Through courses such as BDA101, DISTED College continues to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and technological competencies needed to succeed in the rapidly evolving field of data analytics.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Aina Syazwani Binti Shaharin\u00a0<\/strong><br \/><strong>Lecturer, School of Computing and Engineering\u00a0<\/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>Remarks from the President Dear DISTED Community,\u00a0 It is with great sadness that we share the passing of a dear friend and benefactor of DISTED College,\u00a0Datuk Leela Mohd Ali, on 31 July 2026.
