- A + A KUALA LUMPUR (May 22): The deployment of 5G in Malaysia is poised to benefit the end users in numerous areas and create jobs for the people as the rollout being placed on track. Prof Ir Dr Hafizal Mohamad, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia head of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, said Malaysia could see the acceleration of new jobs with the advancement of the network, coupled with the new artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) applications, particularly in the education, agriculture and manufacturing sectors.

US President Joe Biden (Reuters filepix by Evelyn Hockstein) - A + A SEOUL (May 22): US President Joe Biden, in Seoul before heading to Japan as part of his first Asia trip as president, had a simple message for North Korea's Kim Jong Un: "Hello... period," he told reporters on the last day of his visit to South Korea on Sunday. Biden said he was "not concerned" about new North Korean nuclear tests, which would be the first in nearly five years. But his wry response when asked what message he had for Kim underscored the administration's low-key approach to the unresolved tensions with North Korea. It is a stark contrast with former President Donald Trump's showy threats, summits, and "love letters" with Kim. Neither president's approach has led to a major breakthrough, however, and North Korea has resumed testing its largest intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), while intelligence reports suggest it is preparing for a new nuclear test. “We are … [Read more...] about Biden says ‘hello’ to N.Korea’s Kim amid tensions over weapons tests

Dynamic communication skills are one of the keys to personal and professional success that I discuss in Straight Talk for Success .  If you want to become a dynamic communicator, you need to master three basic, but critical skills: 1) conversation; 2) writing; and 3) presenting. advertisement advertisement Job interviews are some of the most important conversations you will ever have.  However, many people go into them woefully underprepared.  I was speaking with Bob Matts, a friend and a senior HR executive with a very large and prestigious company the other day.  Bob was telling me about the STAR method of interviewing that his company employs.  STAR is an acronym that means “Situation/Task — Activity – Result.”  The STAR model was developed by the consulting firm DDI and taught in a program called Targeted Selection. When Bob and his colleagues conduct interviews they always ask candidates to: 1. Describe a situation or task with which … [Read more...] about Interview Like a STAR for Success

THEY have long graduated from secondary school but three former SMK Damansara Jaya (SMK DJ), Selangor, students still adhere to the school’s motto “to be knowledgeable to contribute”. It was precisely because of their abiding belief in this principle that Andrew Loh Zhu An, Lim Kai Shen and Ng Siew Sanz – who bade farewell to their school in 2004, 2008 and 2010, respectively – found their way to Harvard University in the United States where they are currently pursuing their postgraduate studies. Loh, who had advised African, Asian and European governments as a consultant at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, said action in service of the greater good is a value much appreciated at Harvard. “Harvard looks for people who care so deeply about issues that they are compelled to improve their communities, their country and the world,” he told StarEdu. And the 34-year-old, who co-founded a “one-stop shop” in 2020 to empower ordinary Malaysians to fight Covid-19 by contributing … [Read more...] about From SMK DJ to Harvard

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin London is sprucing up and getting festooned in preparation for what’s expected to be an unforgettable celebration that the country has never seen before: The Platinum Jubilee celebrating the remarkable 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II who, at 96 years old, has broken all records of a life dedicated to duty and to her people since solemnly taking her oath at the age of 21 upon the death of her beloved father. After seven decades of rule, surrounded by pomp, glamour, intrigue — and an intimately-chronicled dysfunctional family — the queen seems still firmly attached to her role as an anchor for the British people despite the vagaries and turmoils of life and history and her frail constitution.
