Dear DISTED Community,\u00a0<\/p>

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. 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>

This week, I found myself reflecting on Datuk Leela’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>

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>

Just as in every person’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>

Goodbye, Datuk Leela. You will be deeply\u00a0missed and\u00a0fondly remembered.\u00a0<\/p>

President\u00a0

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>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

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>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This year’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. Students impressed the judging panel with innovative campaign concepts, engaging podcast productions, and thoughtful applications of artificial intelligence in content creation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Centred on the theme\u00a0“Stand Against Bullying”, the competition encouraged students to address an important social issue through the power of communication and media. Through compelling storytelling and creative campaigns, participants advocated for empathy, respect, inclusivity, and positive digital citizenship, highlighting the role of media as a catalyst for meaningful social change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The event concluded with the presentation of trophies, hampers, and certificates to winning teams. All participants also received certificates of participation and souvenirs in recognition of their enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

More than just a competition, Mic Drop\u00a02026 reflects SCM’s commitment to developing the next generation of ethical, innovative, and socially responsible communicators. By integrating creativity, technology, and social advocacy, the event continues to inspire young talents while strengthening communication competencies that are increasingly relevant in today’s digital landscape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The School of Business and Hospitality recently\u00a0organised\u00a0an industrial visit to\u00a0Moore\u00a0Penang\u00a0for Diploma and Degree Accounting students as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening industry-academia collaboration and providing students with practical exposure to the accounting profession.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The visit was graciously hosted by\u00a0Mr\u00a0Tham\u00a0Shien Hong, Partner of Moore\u00a0Penang\u00a0and Industry Advisor to DISTED College.

During the session, representatives from the firm’s Audit & Assurance and Tax departments shared valuable insights into their areas of expertise.

These discussions helped bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and professional practice, allowing students to better understand how classroom concepts are applied in real-world situations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Human Resources team further enriched the experience by providing guidance on career pathways, staff development\u00a0programmes, employee engagement initiatives, and opportunities for professional growth within the industry. The sharing offered students practical advice on preparing for successful careers in accounting and related fields.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A guided tour of the office provided students with an opportunity to experience a professional working environment and observe the collaborative culture that supports the firm’s operations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

DISTED College extends its sincere appreciation to Moore Penang for its hospitality and insightful sharing.

On 2 July 2026, the School of Pre-University organised the\u00a0SACE-I Alumni Sharing Session: Lessons from High-Achieving SACE Graduates, bringing together current SACE International students for an engaging and inspiring academic enrichment programme.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The session was organised following the release of the latest SACE International examination results and aimed to provide students with practical guidance by learning from alumni who had successfully navigated the programme. Through sharing their\u00a0personal experiences, study strategies, and examination preparation techniques, the speakers offered valuable insights into achieving academic excellence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The programme featured two distinguished alumni.\u00a0Gabriel Lee Jia Wei, who achieved an ATAR of 93.55, earned an A+ in Psychology, and was recognised as one of the Top 2 Psychology students in the Asia region, presented on achieving academic excellence in SACE. He shared effective approaches to study planning, revision, time management, examination preparation, and maintaining motivation throughout the academic year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The second speaker,\u00a0Mikaela Kaur, who achieved an ATAR of 83.65, reflected on the importance of consistency, resilience, and perseverance. Drawing from her own experience, she discussed overcoming challenges, developing productive study habits, and preparing for the transition to university.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A highlight of the programme was the interactive question-and-answer session, where students sought advice on revision techniques, balancing academic commitments, managing examination stress, and staying motivated during demanding periods.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The session successfully fostered meaningful engagement between alumni and current students while providing practical strategies for academic success. More importantly, it reinforced the value of peer mentorship and\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0how determination, consistent effort, and effective learning strategies can contribute significantly to achieving educational goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

DISTED College successfully hosted the\u00a0Malaysian Physics Olympiad (OFM) 2026 Training Camp\u00a0from 2 to 6 June 2026, providing intensive preparation for Malaysia’s top physics students ahead of several prestigious international competitions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The five-day residential programme brought together 14 official contestants\u00a0representing\u00a0Malaysia, alongside six invited potential candidates. Supported by nine trainers and facilitators, the camp served as a platform for advanced academic training, talent development, and competition readiness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The programme provided final-stage pre-departure preparation for participants competing in the\u00a0International Scientific Physics Olympiad (ISPhO) 2026\u00a0and the\u00a0Balkan Physics Olympiad (BPO) 2026. It also offered valuable training for students preparing for the\u00a0International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2026, with\u00a0additional\u00a0pre-departure preparation scheduled separately.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Throughout the camp, participants engaged in intensive learning activities designed to strengthen their understanding of advanced physics concepts, analytical reasoning, and Olympiad-level problem-solving skills. Mock examinations were conducted to familiarise students with competition formats and help them develop effective examination strategies under timed conditions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Beyond preparing current competitors, the inclusion of junior participants reflected a commitment to nurturing future physics talents and building a sustainable pipeline of students capable of\u00a0representing\u00a0Malaysia at international Olympiad competitions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The successful organisation of the training camp highlights DISTED College’s support for academic excellence and talent development in STEM education. By providing an environment that encourages intellectual growth and high-level scientific achievement, the College continues to contribute to the development of future scientists, researchers, and innovators.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The camp concluded with participants better equipped to\u00a0represent\u00a0Malaysia on the international stage, strengthening the nation’s pursuit of excellence in physics Olympiads.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Throughout\u00a0the month of July, students at DISTED College enjoyed a vibrant lunchtime experience through\u00a0Open Mic 2026, an initiative\u00a0organised\u00a0by the Student Representative Council (SRC). Designed around the theme\u00a0“Engage and Interact”, the event provided a welcoming and low-pressure platform for students to\u00a0showcase\u00a0their talents while strengthening campus engagement.\u00a0<\/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>

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>

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>

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>

At DISTED College, students enrolled in the Bachelor of Information Technology (Data 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’s leading data visualisation and business analytics platforms.\u00a0<\/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>

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>

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>

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>

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>
