Gerik Crash: Eldest daughter's dream to support family ends in fatal UPSI bus crash
IPOH: Fatin Nasrien Fadli, a 22-year-old Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) student, had long dreamed of supporting her family and lifting their future. That hope was cut short when she was among 15 students killed in a fatal bus crash on the East–West Highway near Gerik, Perak, early Monday morning. The chartered bus, which was carrying 42 UPSI students from Jertih, Terengganu to Tanjung Malim, collided with a Perodua Alza around 1.10 am near Tasik Banding. Her father, Fadli Abdul Rahman, 50, said Fatin, the eldest of five siblings, was hardworking, respectful and excelled in mathematics at UPSI's Faculty of Science and Mathematics. 'She always said she wanted to help the family once she graduated. She was kind and dedicated,' he said when met at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here yesterday. He recalled that during the recent Aidiladha celebrations, Fatin had asked for RM100 to cover her return trip to university. 'Fatin had taken the bus several times from campus to return home in Kampung Kerandang, Besut. This time I drove her to Jerteh to catch that bus. I never imagined I'd bring her home in a van,' Fadli said. Another victim, Nur Dalila Farhana Mohamad Isma, 21, from Kampung Bharu Tok Dor in Jerteh, was also the eldest child of three siblings in her family. Her uncle, Mohd Izzuddin Manaf, 37, who had once lived with her family in Port Dickson, said he had seen her during Aidiladha and noticed nothing unusual. 'I was close to her. She didn't show any signs of sadness or stress. It's hard to believe she's gone,' he said. The list of students confirmed dead was released by UPSI on Monday. All were between the ages of 20 and 23. In addition to Fatin and Nur Dalila, other victims include Sufea Adela Maslihaizan, 21, Mohammad Aqil Taqiudin, 21, Anis Soffiyya Md Zaidi, 20, Nur Ainul Qistina Mat Ali, 21, Fakhrul Arif Rosdi, 20, and Nurul Fatihah Abu Setaman, 22. Others are Nurul Izyanti Muhamad Azahar, 21, Nur Amni Nadiah Nik Nor Zabir, 21, Muhammad Mustaqim Rosde, 21, Nor Ayuni Maslan, 21, Nurly Sahirah Azman, 23, Muhammad Adib Hazim Halim, 21, and Wan Nur Suhaila Wan Muhammad, 22.

It's Malaysian Chinese vs mainland Chinese again, but who's winning?
ALTHOUGH China is one of the great nations in terms of economical strength, her people are not getting much love from the international community. Rude mainland China tourists with deviant behaviour are sowing all sorts of bad ideas or stereotypes regarding the country. But how do the Malaysian Chinese stand up against their mainland counterpart? Recently a local Malay netizen decided to make a comparison between the two sides and the topic has since garnered quite a lot of attention, with over 2,100 shares and 78 comments. beza chinese malaysia vs chinese mainland Chinese malaysia – friendly boleh buat kawan ye kalau jumpa – muka pun senyum ja chinese mainland – muka acah diva, dia rasa dia main character dengan eyeliner macam mata batman – tak dengar cakap suka tolak tolak orang. Pergi la… — Fatin ♡ (@fatinruto) June 2, 2025 The netizen by the name of @fatinruto claimed among many other things that Malaysian Chinese were friendlier. 'I work in a hotel. If the mainlanders come asking for a room, I automatically said we are full. That and also I had to use google translate to make them understand,' said @topmesungchan. Echoing his thoughts were @EJattIsHere, pointing out that the mainlanders felt that the entire world knew Mandarin. Another netizen who said he was an e-hailing driver stated that the majority of mainland girls have a bad smell. 'Our Chinese girls smell nicer,' he said. Now with the increasing number of comments about stink and body odour, we can only wonder what defines smelly and nice smelling nowadays. Also, @Cthulu_awaken pointed out that the eyes of a Malaysian Chinese were less narrow compared to the mainland Chinese, and also, their skin was darker too. 'Even the Malaysian Chinese are disgusted by the mainland Chinese,' said @REALfatinzz. However, @anissyx_ disagreed. According to her, she had a Chinese Malaysian general manager who was quite a looker. Sadly, she did not wash up after peeing. 'After she comes out of the toilet, she will smell like piss. And she is not friendly too,' said @anissyx_. Towards her comment, @pr_valentines replied that she was likely a DAP supporter. 'The anti DAP are all okay,' said @pr_valentines although there was no further elaboration on why support for DAP has a negative effect on one's hygiene. We are certain MCA do not go out handing perfumes to their supporters either. But the mainlanders have their supporters too. Netizen @Irfanae1988 pointed out that the Malaysian Chinese looked foolish, wearing short pants and singlet. On the other hand, the mainlanders preferred long pants and even the shirt of their choice had long sleeves. Meanwhile, @FarisAzman96 claimed that the Indonesian Chinese were better since they could speak Malay. The lack of language barrier will of course foster a sense of camaraderie among the races so this comes as no surprise. Perhaps @popinlinux had the spark for a new hot topic with his comment, 'Are we not going to make a comparison between the Malaysian Indians and the mainland Indians?' —June 3, 2025 Main image: Free Malaysia Today

Beauty, Brains, and Breaking Barriers
Subscribe to our FREE No matter how progressive the world gets, stereotypes still linger. Here's where Aqilah, a technopreneur and CEO of As students receive their exam results, and are anxious as to what their future holds, Aqilah and Fatin serve as shining examples of how hard work, passion, and determination can open up countless career opportunities, no matter what path you choose. Breaking stereotypes and inspiring the next generation of women Aqilah and Fatin exemplify the intersection of beauty and brains, redefining what it means to be a woman in today's world. They are not just successful in their respective fields; they are also leveraging TikTok to educate and inspire. TikTok has become an important platform for both 13th December babies 🎂 Next? Aqilah and Fatin are powerful role models, challenging societal expectations and encouraging young women to pursue careers in STEM, business, medicine, and most importantly, pursuing their passions. The future of women in these fields looks brighter with creators like them being in the field, proving that anything is possible. Empowering the future of electronics and tech education Ts. Nur 'Aqilah binti Zainuddin, 33, from Shah Alam, is a force to be reckoned with. With a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from UiTM Shah Alam and a consistent Dean's List record, she founded Aiszzy Electronics Sdn. Bhd., an electronics shop that goes beyond simple retail. Serving as a comprehensive hub for electronic components, education, and project development, Aqilah intended for it to empower individuals and foster innovation within the community. 'The idea behind Aiszzy Electronics started from my passion for electronics and technology since my degree study. 'I noticed a gap in the market, especially in terms of practical hands-on learning for studentsand hobbyists,' Aqilah explains. Aiszzy Electronics bridges this gap by providing specialised components and training, empowering students, educators, and industry professionals. Whilst being occupied with events, trainings, chief executive work and running Aiszzy Electronics, Aqilah is also responsible for the company's TikTok page. She takes charge of everything from brainstorming ideas to editing and posting, ensuring her content is both educational and engaging for a broad audience. 'My approach is to break down complex concepts into simpler, easier and digestable content for the audience,' she said. She focuses on the basics, building up to more advanced ideas with engaging visuals and relatable examples. Her videos even show her creating seemingly chaotic projects step by step for the audience to follow along. As a woman in the electronics industry, Aqilah has faced her share of challenges from facing stereotypes to being underestimated. 'However, I've learned to view these obstacles as opportunities to prove myself,' she said. Her ability to simplify technical information and create engaging content has made her a role model, not only for young women but also for people of all ages interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). 'I hope that our content inspires everyone, especially young women, to pursue their interests in STEM fields. 'I want them to know that technology isn't something to be intimidated by – it's something they can excel in,' she added. Notably, Aqilah's innovative approach to electronics extends beyond education. Her company's collaboration with a renowned fashion designer to create technological dresses for Aina Abdul and Aisyah Aziz at Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) 38 and 39 marked a significant milestone. 'Honestly, I never imagined I'd have the chance to work on something as big as AJL,' she reflects. This project, born from collaborations at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) 2023 and 2024, showcased the fascinating intersection of fashion and technology, highlighting Aiszzy Electronics' expertise in practical effects and technology. Looking forward, Aqilah envisions a future where more women take leading roles in technology. 'The future of women in technology is bright,' she asserts. 'My advice to young girls is to follow their passion and stay curious. Don't let anyone tell you that technology isn't for you. Learn as much as you can, be persistent, and seek out mentors who can guide you. Most importantly, believe in yourself and your ability to innovate and create,' Aqilah added. Her work is not just about teaching electronics; it's about inspiring a generation to push boundaries and explore the limitless possibilities of technology. Bridging the gap between doctors and patients on TikTok Fatin Najwan Daud, 29, a junior doctor in the emergency department and a content creator from Kuala Lumpur. Balancing a demanding medical career with her online presence, Fatin uses TikTok to share medical insights and personal stories. Her journey began with a cathartic video after completing her housemanship, leading her to share her experiences. 'Unbeknownst to me, it was a ubiquitous experience and a lot of people related to that content,' she recalls. From there, I gained more confidence to share and tell stories.' This confidence, she admits, was a long time coming. 'Since I was little, I always remembered myself being very energetic and extroverted. I have always recorded myself and talked to the camera but I never had the courage to post my content.' Her TikTok segments, 'Medical Corner' and 'Story Time', have become popular for their balance of entertainment and education. Fatin uses these segments to share medical anecdotes, aiming to bridge the gap between patients and doctors by humanising healthcare workers. 'My platform could be a way for me to share medical anecdotes or medical education to the public, especially when a lot of my frustrations at work come from the lack of public health awareness,' Fatin explains. She navigates a demanding schedule, juggling long hospital shifts with content creation, attending events, making time for herself and her relationship. Fatin has faced challenges as a woman in medicine, including being stereotyped and having her voice undermined. 'Some of my biggest challenges are having my voice being heard and acknowledged,' she said. 'Being patronised or stereotyped as a female in any stream of academia has been a long-standing norm in our society.' However, she has learned to assert herself and celebrate her achievements. Fatin's resilience in medicine clear as she candidly shares her initial medical school struggles. This experience, she explains, instilled a deep-seated fear as she entered her housemanship. However, each successful diagnosis, each well-executed management plan, and every life she helps save becomes a powerful reminder of her growth. These moments, she reflects, fill her with immense pride and joy, serving as a stark contrast to the insecure student she once was. Despite her past challenges, Fatin has evolved into a more confident and competent doctor – and trying her best with the given circumstances in healthcare, embracing her mistakes as learning opportunities and celebrating each step forward.
