Thumbs up for Wow! Fiesta 2019

I learned a lot from the self-defense workshop. Before this I only watched videos on self-defense techniques online, but the workshop by Ann Osman allowed me to get practical experience on what I should do if I was ever in a dangerous situation. I also found the Bursa Malaysia (Berhad) booth very interesting and useful. Nalayini Palpanavan, 25, quantity surveyor

It’s really great that the WOW! Fiesta had a self-defense workshop. I’d like there to be more of these sorts of workshops that teach women how to defend themselves. What I learnt at the workshop is always going to be useful. Noratiqah Roszain, 22, student

I think WOW is an excellent campaign because it allows female entrepreneurs to introduce and sell their products. For some of us who are representing social organisations, WOW allows us to make our organisations known to people. We are very excited to be here. Bhabinder Kaur, YWCA general secretary

I came for the Fiesta last year and decided to come again because I found it educational. It helps me improve myself. Christine Lim, 57, secretary

This kind of positive move from the organisers to support the women should be appreciated. I like Bursa Malaysia Berhad’s stall because they encourage women to invest in the stock market which will help women to be independent financially. Shaza, 25, bank officer

It is really nice to attend an event for women. It provides an opportunity for women to showcase their talents. Yi Hwa, 22, student
