Dear fellow Malaysians,

The year 2020 has been truly challenging and testing for us all, due to the all-encompassing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yet, as true Malaysians, we have individually, as well as, collectively risen to the occasion to overcome this adversity of global proportion.

As individuals and members of our beloved nation, we have all demonstrated resilience in facing the overwhelming uncertainties throughout the last 12 months, by drawing on our inner strengths, and wholeheartedly embracing the “new normal” to ensure that we emerge from this test of humanity stronger than ever.

It is my sincerest wish that the year 2021 will bring us all renewed hope and a new beginning, as we rise together to make it a truly memorable year for us all.

On behalf of PPIB, here is wishing everyone a joyful, blessed, healthy, prosperous, and successful New Year 2021.

Hello Everyone,
 
We are happy to share with you that the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) has launched four new YSEALI Online Courses. 
 
These online courses are free resources to take your leadership and professional knowledge to the next level. We hope they will empower and inspire YSEALI members to take action on the different topics that we offer. 
 
Take the courses at Bit.ly/YSEALILearns and get a certificate of completion after passing the quiz with a minimum score of 80%.

We also encourage you to share the knowledge you get from the courses by organizing a #YSEALILearns event as a part of a #YOUnified activity in your community.

 
So do share this with the students, youth and visitors to your centre. We are looking forward to receiving learners from your state!
