Throughout her life, she has firmly held the belief that education and continuous learning are keys to staying relevant in today's world, regardless of age. "I read a lot of novels and online content like short articles – it keeps the mind sharp and active,' she shared during the Sembang Sembang Sejarah (Historical Chat Session) titled Experience in the Film Industry, organised by the Malaysian Historical Society at Wisma Sejarah recently. She also shared some of her wellness habits that help her stay energetic in her golden years – most notably, staying socially engaged and regularly interacting with others. Reflecting on her artistic journey, which began at the age of 17, Mak Nani said she never set limits for herself and constantly sought to push her boundaries. This spirit, she added, paved the way for her to become Malaysia's first female film director – a groundbreaking achievement for a woman of her era. "I was determined to learn English just to understand filmmaking terms. I even took night classes and took the bus just to study,' she recalled, adding that during her breaks, she would spend time in the editing room, observing the process and learning directly from the editors. In 1992, she took another bold step by travelling to London to further her knowledge of filmmaking. Despite being far from her family, she made the most of her time there by enrolling in short courses in film makeup, determined to expand her expertise in the craft. Drawing from a lifetime of experience, Mak Nani encourages young people to persevere in the pursuit of their dreams. "When we work in any field, we must have clear goals and direction. Don't limit yourself to your current abilities – keep seeking knowledge to stay relevant in this industry,' she said.

Sarawak offers stable, long-term investment climate with roadmap to 2035, says Premier
Abang Johari (third left) and others in a group photo during the event. – Ukas photo KUCHING (May 3): Sarawak has a consistent development policy framework that offers strong long-term investment and growth prospects, underpinned by political stability and a rational populace, said Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. He said the Sarawak government had outlined a clear development roadmap up to 2030, and is now planning for the next phase through to 2035. He stressed that such long-term planning is crucial for investors to assess the risks, returns and sustainability of their investments. 'What I want to emphasise is that Sarawak is a region with enormous potential for future growth. That is the first point. Secondly, we enjoy political stability, and the people of Sarawak are rational. 'Thirdly, there must be a well defined roadmap. Policies must remain consistent regardless of who holds the office of Premier. They must always be forward-looking. 'We have already laid the groundwork up to 2030 and are now planning for 2035. With this kind of environment, investors are in a good position to make informed evaluations,' he told the Fireside Chat Session held in conjunction with his working visit to London yesterday. Abang Johari said investors naturally seek countries that are peaceful and secure and Sarawak offers such an environment conducive to investment. 'These are qualities that Sarawak possesses, and they are truly impressive. Among the 56 Commonwealth nations, not all uphold the rule of law as we do. 'Security is another vital consideration. While many countries have these characteristics, there is also growing recognition of the exceptional opportunities that Sarawak has to offer,' he said in a report shared on the Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas) Facebook page. Also present were Deputy Premiers Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan and Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian, State Secretary Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki, Deputy Minister in the Premier's Department (Law, MA63 and Federal-State Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali, Deputy Minister of International Trade, Industry and Investment Datuk Dr Malcolm Mussen Lamoh, State Attorney General Dato Sri Saferi Ali, Sarawak Financial Secretary Dato Sri Dr Wan Lizozman Wan Omar, and Deputy State Secretary (Economic Planning and Development) Dato Sri Dr Muhammad Abdullah Zaidel.
