Generation T 2018 Party
Despite a hellish combo of torrential rain and bumper to bumper traffic, nothing deterred our Generation T listers from showing up at the Mandarin Oriental KL. The evening began with a private dinner attended by the Generation T listers, who took full advantage of the opportunity to network. Lee Williamson, editor of Generation T Asia, who had flown in from Hong Kong, delivered a succinct speech, as did Malaysia Tatler’s May 2018 cover stars: Dzameer Dzulkifli, founder and managing director of Teach For Malaysia (TFM), and volunteers William Sin and Denise Chiew.
Dzulkifli, Sin and Chiew spoke about their experience visiting a rural school in Kedah, where they shadowed a teacher and taught students for a day. Everyone listened with rapt attention as Dzameer switched on his ‘teacher voice’ while enthusing about the inspiration behind TFM, the importance of education, plus the impact of literacy in a child’s development. He closed by inviting the listers to join the initiative and to try teaching for a day. By the end of the night, some listers had already signed up for the cause.
