Sadly I am having to return home to Malaysia unexpectedly to be with a family member who is seriously ill. I'd like to take this opportunity to say that having the chance to meet & work with so many people from diff nationalities & backgrounds has been the highlight of my year.
My gratitude goes out to my SU Family, my sabbatical team and to all students at Essex for their amazing support during my time in service. I know that the rest of the year will go brilliantly, and I look forward to visiting Essex in the future!
Unfortunately, due to a family emergency back in Malaysia today was Yasmin's last day as VP International at the SU. Thanks for all your hard work, Yasmin!

Mental health is such an important issue to speak out on. Come to this session this Thursday on mental wellness and mental health! You are never alone - we're all in this together.
Ecstatic to see @UOEAmnesty's Fundraising Dinner for Rohingya attracting so many people from different walks of life! It's truly a cause that transcends race or religion; kudos to Amnesty Essex for such a wonderful cause and well organised event. โค
They truly care about the future of Brunei, and it shows. A quote from today: "Be comfortable to feel uncomfortable!" Challenge yourself & strive to contribute/improve policies and existing structures; only then will innovation & success follow through.
I'm a proud VP International today: the PIDATO participants spoke so passionately & their content was immensely thought-provoking. Cultural societies isn't just a place to form strong bonds, but it's a way to empower youth overseas & remind us of our responsibilities back home.
What does mental health mean to YOU?
THE BIG DISCUSSION has been organised next THURSDAY, the 22nd to educate students on mental wellbeing, destigmatise mental health conditions, & highlight available support services on campus.
