Through interactive sharing sessions and practical guidance, students learned how to present themselves professionally, communicate their ideas clearly, respond effectively to interview questions, and approach interview situations with greater confidence.\u00a0<\/p><p>A key component of the programme was the School of Psychology&#8217;s session, \u201cWhat\u2019s Next After SPM?\u201d, conducted by Mr. Chew Yong Peng and Mr. Tan. The session introduced students to the range of educational pathways available after SPM, including Form Six, Matriculation, Foundation, and Diploma studies.\u00a0<\/p><p>Beyond providing information on these pathways, the session encouraged students to reflect on their interests, strengths, and future aspirations when considering their next steps. By understanding the different routes available, students gained greater clarity about the opportunities that can support their long-term academic and career goals.\u00a0<\/p><p>The programme provided valuable exposure beyond the classroom by equipping students with practical interview skills and a better understanding of higher education options. It also highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, with lecturers from different academic schools contributing their expertise to support students as they prepare for future educational opportunities.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Chew Yong Peng\u00a0<\/strong><br \/><strong>Lecturer, School of Psychology\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\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-f0d21b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f0d21b1\" 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\" width=\"800\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-1.-SPSY-2-1024x862.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-48983\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-1.-SPSY-2-1024x862.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-1.-SPSY-2-600x505.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-1.-SPSY-2-768x646.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-1.-SPSY-2-14x12.jpg 14w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-1.-SPSY-2.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\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-4ab68b3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4ab68b3\" 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-0be98d8\" data-id=\"0be98d8\" 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-34bae20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"34bae20\" 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-8be56fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8be56fb\" 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\">Behind-the-Scenes Insights from Veteran Cinematographer Matthias Hoffmann <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c74e5fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c74e5fb\" 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\" width=\"800\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-2.-SBH-1024x862.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-48984\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-2.-SBH-1024x862.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-2.-SBH-600x505.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-2.-SBH-768x646.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-2.-SBH-14x12.jpg 14w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Vol-18.3-2.-SBH.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-6291495 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6291495\" 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\">DISTED College recently hosted a special hybrid Q&amp;A session featuring veteran cinematographer Matthias Hoffmann, who joined students from Los Angeles, USA, to share his experiences working in reality television production. Despite a 15-hour time difference, students from the Bachelor in Marketing, Diploma in Creative Multimedia, Diploma in Mass Communications, and Cambridge A-Level programmes participated enthusiastically both on campus and online.<\/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\">Hoffmann drew upon his extensive experience working on internationally recognised programmes including <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Amazing Race<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Survivor<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Asia&#8217;s Next Top Model<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Biggest Loser Asia<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Through stories and practical examples, he provided students with a unique perspective on the challenges of filming unscripted television content around the world.<\/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\">One of the key discussions focused on the demanding nature of reality television production. Hoffmann explained that camera crews assigned to follow contestants often work continuously for extended periods with minimal rest, carrying equipment while travelling across airports, cities and remote locations. Students were particularly interested to learn that cinematographers frequently undergo months of physical and mental preparation before filming begins.<\/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\">The session also explored the role of visual storytelling in reality television. Hoffmann explained how camera operators must constantly anticipate key moments, capture a variety of shots, and visualise how scenes may contribute to the story ultimately presented to viewers.<\/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\">Beyond production techniques, the discussion addressed ethical considerations, including participant privacy, consent and the responsibilities of camera crews when filming emotionally sensitive situations. Hoffmann also shared memorable experiences from international shoots, highlighting the unpredictable nature of production work.<\/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\">The session concluded with practical advice for students planning a campus race project, emphasising teamwork, clear planning, strong storytelling, and effective editing. Through this engaging discussion, students gained valuable industry perspectives and a deeper appreciation for the skills required in professional media production.<\/span><span

students from the SACE Legal Studies programme visited the Bar Council Legal Aid Centre, Penang, as part of their efforts to gain a broader understanding of the legal profession and the practical application of legal studies.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:40,&quot;335559740&quot;:260}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Upon arrival, the students were warmly welcomed by legal officers, staff members and student volunteers. The visit was hosted by Ms. Ann Beatrice and her team, who provided an informative introduction to the centre&#8217;s role in promoting access to justice and supporting individuals who require legal assistance.<\/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=\"none\">During the session, students learned about the centre&#8217;s daily operations and the procedures through which members of the public can obtain legal guidance and support. The visit offered valuable insight into how legal aid services help individuals address legal concerns that they may be unable to navigate on their own.<\/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=\"none\">Students also had the opportunity to observe aspects of the consultation process and learn how legal issues are identified before appropriate forms of assistance are recommended. A key takeaway from the visit was the centre&#8217;s commitment to creating a professional, welcoming and confidential environment where clients can discuss sensitive legal matters with confidence.<\/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=\"none\">Beyond enhancing their understanding of legal aid services, the experience allowed students to see how legal principles are applied in practice. It reinforced the importance of ensuring that access to justice remains available to individuals regardless of their financial circumstances or social background.<\/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=\"none\">The visit was both insightful and educational, providing students with a greater appreciation of the vital role played by legal professionals, volunteers and support staff in serving the community.

While lectures, assignments and examinations are important aspects of higher education, some of the most meaningful experiences come from the relationships students build with their peers, seniors and lecturers.\u00a0<\/p><p>In conjunction with Malaysia Day celebration, the School of Communication, Arts and Multimedia recently organised a joint birthday gathering that brought together students, senior students and lecturers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.\u00a0<\/p><p>What began as a surprise birthday celebration evolved into an opportunity for different cohorts to connect, interact and strengthen their sense of community. Conversations, shared stories and birthday wishes created a cheerful environment that reflected the spirit of Malaysia Day through a celebration of unity, diversity and togetherness.\u00a0<\/p><p>The gathering also showcased the value of mentor-mentee relationships beyond formal academic settings. Informal interactions allow students to engage with lecturers in a more comfortable environment, fostering stronger connections, and creating opportunities to seek guidance and support. At the same time, senior students were able to share their experiences with juniors, offering practical advice and encouragement as they navigate campus life.\u00a0<\/p><p>For final-year students preparing to graduate, occasions such as these become especially meaningful. As they move forward to the next stage of their lives, the friendships, mentorship and memories created during their time at DISTED remain an important part of their college experience.\u00a0<\/p><p>The event served as a reminder that a vibrant campus community is built not only through academic success, but also through meaningful relationships and shared experiences. Sometimes, the most memorable moments of college life are found not in the classroom, but in the connections formed and the moments celebrated together.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Naviin Raj Jaya
