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
