Usher the Chinese New Year of the dragon year, with a hearty prosperous meal at Han Yi Puen Chinese Restaurant, in Mezzanine Level of Royale Chulan, Seremban. We were grateful that we could experience the joys and abundance of the Chinese New Year spread, that was a feast to be remembered and worth to be enjoyed during this coming Chinese New Year from 9th January to 24th February. Available for both lunch (12pm to 2:30pm) and dinner (6:30pm to 10pm) excluding Mondays. However, on February 12th 2024 a special Monday, both lunch and dinner will be available due to Chinese New Year.

We were embraced with the presence of Chef Daniel Chong and his team; They carefully crafted the delicate balance of flavours to the meticulous presentation of each dish for Chinese New Year. This feast truly is a testament to the hotel’s commitment to gastronomic excellence.

There are a variety of Prosperity Yee Sang options: Vegetarian Yee Sang, Salmon Yee Sang, Jellyfish Yee Sang, and Abalone Yee Sang. Each Yee Sang is specially prepared in a box, available in small or large portions, ranging from RM68 nett per box to RM198 nett per box.

I like how the restaurant offers four (3) delectable set menus, each serving a large portion of Yee Sang with an eight (8) course meal, priced at RM1388 nett per set and RM1788.00 nett per set for ten (10) diners.

Highlights of the set menu include Abalone with Dried Scallop Soup, Golden Chicken Pancake with Almonds, Steamed Tiger Grouper with Chicken Essence and Superior Sauce, Tiger Prawns with Garlic Flakes and Chilli Sauce, Steamed Lotus Leaves Rice with Crispy Mermaid, Braised Sea Cucumber with Dried Oyster and Broccoli, Chilled Peach Gum with Blossoms and Aloe Vera, and Signature Banana Fritters.

Additionally, we will commence the Sunday All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum to attract more patrons to Han Pi Yuen,” says Rahman Ahmad, General Manager of the hotel.

Rahman added that guests will also be treated to an exhilarating lion dance performance by the Yung Loong Wushu and Lion Dance troupe.

Award-winning non-profit organisation, Malaysian Humanitarian Foundation (“MHF”) is working closely with Malaysia’s leading educational non-profit organisation, Teach for Malaysia (“TFM”) in identifying students from B40 households to offer scholarships to attend SuperCamp. 

For the December edition which ran from 18 to 22 December 2023 at Paradise Valley Broga Resort, Semenyih, Selangor, seven (7) students from several schools within Klang Valley were shortlisted by TFM to attend SuperCamp. 

“We work on a system to extend opportunities like this to students from the underserved communities. Not having the resources to attend programmes like this should not hinder you from unlocking your full potential and achieving greatness in the future. We hope that from 2024 onwards, we can extend the scholarships to at least 50 students annually,” Henry Teh Kok Kheng, Executive Director of MHF (郑国庆) says. 

Empowering the future leaders of Malaysia

Vassenthen A/L Devendren, 16, was filled with excitement to be selected for SuperCamp. The SMK (L) Methodist Sentul student candidly shares that his self-esteem took a hit during the transition from a Tamil school to a national school after his UPSR, which left him dissatisfied with the result. He also feels less confident due to his larger physical build.

“I was disappointed to receive my UPSR result and decided to make a change. I started following a strict regime where I only allowed minimal time to rest and spend time with my family. Being the eldest in my family also means that I have the big brother role to play,” he says. He also continues to study Tamil subjects to honour his Indian heritage as he aspires to excel in his mother tongue, while improving his proficiency in English and Bahasa Melayu. 

His mother, Mogana Sunthari A/P Govindan, 41 is also surprised to see how much time Vassenthen spends in his room studying. “Everyday, after school he retreats to his room to study. Sometimes, he only texts or calls me on the phone when he wants to eat. I can see that he is driven to be successful in the future, so I’ll continue to support him,” she says. “Interestingly, though, he doesn't aspire to become a doctor! He mentioned that the COVID-19 experience has truly scared him!”

Another scholar from SMK Seksyen 27, Shah Alam, Maizatulakma Lisa Aqilah Abdullah, is a big fan of Korean culture, particularly the food and fashion. Despite her passion for entertainment, she strongly believes that her peers should set their priorities right from such a young age.

“I know a lot of students my age want to be content creators and influencers, but I honestly hope to be a teacher one day. So, I’ll work hard towards this goal, acknowledging that I can be a bit lazy at times. However, after attending SuperCamp, I really found motivation to do better,” says the 15-year old student. 

“Yes, she can be lazy sometimes,” laughs Maizatulakma’s mother, Zaidatulnisa binti Salleh, 39. “But she’s really a good girl. She’s the eldest in the family and takes care of her younger siblings. She makes sure that all her homework is completed before coming home. She is also actively working for an NGO on the side, something that she picks up from me. I too am actively working for several NGOs that empower children from the B40 group with education around our neighborhood.”. 

Zaidatulnisa also hopes that the Malaysian education system will bring back examinations for the students. “I see examinations as a way to motivate students to apply what they have learnt at school. Examinations provide a quantifiable and measurable method for parents to assess their children's progress at school. It's not about making comparisons of whose child is better or smarter.”

Zuraida Zulkifli, 48, is a proud mother to Daliya Safeera Ramli, 15, a student at SMK Shah Alam, Bukit Jelutong. “She is very quiet at home and likes to keep to herself. She only approaches us when she needs help. She is different from her older sister who was a prefect and active at school. Her sister also attended a boarding school,” says the full-time housewife. 

“I don’t really want to attend boarding school like my sister,” Daliya laughs. “I’m actually an introvert and I’m afraid to make mistakes, especially when speaking in front of the crowd. Even when studying, I rely on the Internet and Youtube videos when I hit a wall. It’s not always a bad thing as it allows students like me to learn at our own pace. Now that I have attended Supercamp, I feel more confident, especially in overcoming my fear of public speaking, and I am excited to share my opinions on various issues”.

Senior Assistant Administrator from Daliya’s school, Tuan Saripah Nor Riha Tuan Jaafar is extremely proud that one of her students was selected to receive a full scholarship to attend SuperCamp. “When TFM reached out to us to share the information about SuperCamp, we submitted 8 applications and were so delighted to know that despite the limited vacancies, Daliya made it through,” she says. “Daliya is a very dedicated student who attended all meetings set by TFM prior to her selection. I hope that she will return to our school and share everything she has learned here with her friends. We look forward to seeing more of our students attending SuperCamp in the future”.

SuperCamp is a global education brand that believes that children who are equipped with ‘the 8 Keys of Excellence’, a  foundation based on the Burklyn Business School; can transform themselves to become self-motivated learners. The 8 Keys of Excellence entail:

Meanwhile, TFM is an independent, not-for-profit organisation on a mission to give all children the opportunity to realise their potential through quality education. This education champion has been partnering with the Ministry of Education in Malaysia to reach high-need public schools. At the same time, TFM is one of the 61 partners of the prestigious global education network, Teach for All. TFM received recognition in 2022 for the Education & Community Category at the Merdeka Award established by PETRONAS, ExxonMobil and Shell in 2007.

 The bodysuit is a versatile piece, so it can be worn all year round. In winter, it can be an important helper to protect you from low temperatures. You can create elegant and stylish looks.

Start by choosing a warm and comfortable Popilush shapewear bodysuit. There are several models that can be used in conjunction with wool, velvet and even leather items. There are several combinations that can help you enrich your appearance in winter without much effort.

Combine the bodysuit with velvety or thermal pants to give you a nice, warm look. If you're working in closed spaces like an office, a tweed blazer is chic and delicate.

For a trip to the mall, a wool skirt becomes an option that gives you good warmth and femininity. You can also wear a sweater or overcoat over the bodysuit, creating fluid layers is the best way to warm up without weighing down the look.

A fabric with elasticity adapts to many body styles. A piece with a snap closure in the crotch makes it easier when you need to use the bathroom. You can shape your belly and align your posture through the modeling mesh that this model has.

No, you don't need to. A deep V neck bodysuit, for example, already provides support and the perfect design to embellish the bust area with support. These pieces are already designed to be used as underwear, but also as main clothing in a comfortable way that provides maximum safety for the female figure.

 The shoulder buckles provide greater adjustment and you can even remove the straps if necessary. It is these details that make your bodysuit its best version. Compressed shaping lining keeps your tummy free from dimpling or bumps.

Yes! Even more so if you want a more fitted look with a touch of boldness. A bodysuit with long sleeves and transparency can be used to go to night parties. In a light color, combined with a chain and gold earrings, it gives a sensual and elegant look. When choosing leggings for the winter, choose those with a double layer to help retain heat. They can also be lined with fleece, so you stay warm. Pair with boots for the perfect dramatic urban look.

A bodysuit with double-layer fabric in the belly area, create a perfect hourglass shape. The butt becomes more elegant with the T-shaped buttocks design. The soft degree elasticity is a symbol of comfort for you to further expand your achievements, feeling confident and powerful with your appearance. Add warm accessories, a scarf, hat and gloves are essential this winter.
