Being on a panel either as a moderator of a panelist can be very intimidating, Angela Cheung, in the third and final day of AMCHAM’s Communication Workshops in KL, spent a couple of hours with a group of 45 sharing how they could be more confident and inject elements that will make panel discussions easier and more memorable.

About 50% of the group had never experienced these roles but knew it was on the horizon for them. Angela shared with attendees practical advice on how to plan and execute a panel discussion effectively, whether as a moderator or a panelist. Attendees learned how to shape and control conversations while avoiding common pitfalls, ensuring that their panel discussions are not only memorable but also highly engaging.

Even if you have never been on a panel before, Angela’s expert guidance and real-life advice will help you gain the confidence you need to succeed. With her emphasis on practice and preparation, you’ll be able to approach any panel discussion with ease.

The three days of workshops in KL were a resounding success, with attendees walking out with not only loads of tips for communication, presentation, video development and mastering a panel discussion but a host of new friends in arms as they all made small commitments to act on their learnings. Thank you to Angela for making these sessions lively, informative and fun! AMCHAM enjoyed the raucous laughter that echoed across the Chamber!

Making videos can be incredibly intimidating but once you are able to push through that barrier, the process and activity not only becomes less intimidating, it becomes fun.

AMCHAM’s visiting ‘guru’ Angela Cheung, Video Consultant, Corporate Trainer, ex-Disney/Fremantle/MTV took 29 attendees through an incredible interactive session where they learned the power of video & the simplicity of making one.

With business videos now the communication tool to convey a company’s message, products, values and brand personality, this was the perfect workshop for all to understand how every employee can play a role in contributing to internal or external comms using just their mobile phone!

Everyone got to learn the tools for developing a corporate video using their phone as well as the ingredients that go into making a good video. Angela shared a lot of useful tips and highlighted the pitfalls to watch out for. The session ended with attendees putting the lessons they had learnt to the test as they produced their own corporate videos.

District-Cooling System (“DCS”) is a single-source cooling system used in multiple buildings which provides flexibility and convenience by allowing each building to consume as much or as little cooling as needed regardless of chiller’s size or capacity. This single-source system is typically offered to many buildings for air conditioning or other purposes from a centralised cooling facility. In short, the DCS is a cooling plant that produces and distributes chilled water through a network of subterranean pipes to residential, commercial, and industrial facilities.

This article by Azmi & Associates details how DCS works, its main components, legal context and salient issues to be considered.

IGB International School (IGBIS) has installed solar panels in support of sustainability. It is a significant step towards reducing environmental impact and sustainability, which is what they often view through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) at IGBIS.

Once they are in operation, the 341kWh array will help offset 25-33% of electricity needs, utilizing renewable energy. It will also help reduce carbon emissions which is crucial in mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting sustainable practices for a better future.
