Stefanus wins RM50,000 grant for school
Published on: Thursday, August 07, 2025 Published on: Thu, Aug 07, 2025 Text Size: Stefanus, left, Fadzliaton Zainudin, Deputy Director of the Educational Resources and Technology Division at the Ministry of Education Malaysia, Muhammad Hamka Eallie, Headmaster of SK Pendidikan Khas (P) Kota Kinabalu and Josephine Tan, Campus Director of Taylor's College. Kota Kinabalu: Music teacher, Stefanus Lucas, from SK Pendidikan Khas (P) Kota Kinabalu was recently recognised with Malaysia's top educator honour for his work with special needs students. He was awarded the RISE Educator Award 2025, earning RM5, 000 personally and securing RM50, 000 in funding for his school. Advertisement The award, organised by Taylor's College, celebrates educators making exceptional impact in Malaysian classrooms. Working with visually and hearing-impaired students, Stefanus has revolutionised music education by establishing a specialised music room and forming a student boy band despite limited resources. His innovative approach gives students with disabilities a platform to express themselves and build confidence through music. 'To many, music may seem like a luxury but to my students, it is a lifeline,' said Stefanus. Advertisement 'It is how they express emotions, connect with others and begin to believe in their own worth,' he added. The competition drew over 1,000 nominations nationwide and attracted more than 65,000 public votes. Five finalists were selected through a combination of public voting and evaluation by a distinguished panel including officials from the Ministry of Education. Stefanus plans to use the funding to create Sabah's first student ensemble combining traditional and modern instruments, and to build a dedicated music space for deaf learners. School headmaster Muhammad Hamka Eallie praised Stefanus's work, saying he has transformed how the school views learning and inclusion. 'He does not see their disabilities but rather he sees their potential,' said Hamka. The award ceremony was graced by Deputy Educational Resources and Technology Division Director Fadzliaton Zainudin at the Ministry of Education Malaysia, who delivered a keynote address to commemorate the occasion. 'Taylor's College has consistently championed quality education by recognising and supporting the incredible efforts of educators on the ground. 'The RISE Educator Award highlights how real change often starts with small, consistent acts of care and dedication,' she said. She said Ministry of Education commends Taylor's College for establishing a platform that goes beyond recognising outstanding educators but one that also fosters collaboration, inspires innovation and encourages the exchange of impactful practices that uplift our schools and communities. Meanwhile, Taylor's College Campus Director Josephine Tan said that over the past five years, the RISE Educator Award has revealed the remarkable resilience and creativity of teachers who quietly transform the meaning of education. 'These educators do not wait for ideal conditions, they create opportunities with what they have. What drives them is not just innovation, but deep purpose and belief in their students. Many even fund their own projects, expecting little recognition in return,' she said. 'The RISE Educator Award has grown into more than just a reward, it is now a platform that brings educators, communities and change makers together to celebrate impact, exchange ideas and inspire one another. 'It reflects our belief that when we invest in educators, we are investing in the future and we are confident they will continue to spark even greater change,' she said, adding that the RISE Educator Award is more than a celebration but also a commitment to uplift and invest in educators who are changing lives. Since its inception, the RISE Educator Award has celebrated 18 educators and channelled more than RM200, 000 in grants and development support to schools across the country. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Taiwan-based Malaysian singer Gary Chaw reportedly hasn't moved on from ex-wife: 'Still in pain'
It's been nearly three years since Malaysian singer Gary Chaw divorced Taiwanese fashion blogger Wu Shuling, but it seems he hasn't fully moved on. The 46-year-old recently shared on Xiaohongshu (Red Note) a video of himself singing his 2019 song I'm Just A Fool – a ballad in which he confronts his shortcomings and expresses his unconditional devotion. The post quickly drew attention, with many netizens praising Chaw's soulful vocals, while others shared how the performance evoked a deep sense of nostalgia. According to China Press, Chaw also left two comments about Wu under his video. The former couple, who divorced in November 2022 after 14 years of marriage, share two children – Joe, 16, and Grace, 14. 'I still haven't forgotten Shuling,' read one of the comments. 'Actually, I'm still in pain,' he wrote in another. It's reported that Chaw later deleted both comments mentioning Wu. This isn't the first time the singer has shown that he's still struggling to move on. In July 2023, Chaw made a series of Instagram posts about his ex-wife and their children – including a throwback wedding photo of him and Wu smiling blissfully. 'I'm messed up... But I still love her,' he wrote at that time. A few months later, while performing his song Zhang Wen during a concert in Taipei, Chaw altered the original lyric 'There is no winning or losing' to 'There is no Shuling'. 'I still love her… Taking it one step at a time,' he said back then.
