Join us on Saturday, July 24 at 9 AM EDT / Malaysia time at 9 PM for a conversation with Timothy Tye on Ushering Penang Hokkien into the 21st century.
Penang Hokkien is a living language, spoken as the lingua franca of the Chinese in Penang. Timothy founded Learn Penang Hokkien, where he and his team develop this language as a living intangible heritage. The mission of Learn Penang Hokkien is to turn this largely spoken language into a written one so that we can communicate in it in writing. As part of that effort, a new romanized writing system has been created for the language, so that people of all backgrounds can easily learn to read and write the language.
Timothy Tye is one of the champions of keeping Penang Hokkien alive in this present age. He is a full-time blogger and social media influencer from 2007 until the present day. Before that, he handled marketing communications for Dell in the Asia Pacific region. As a blogger, Tim has one of the largest individually assembled place-information websites in Malaysia. His passion is in researching local place information, which he has turned into a full-time occupation.

Meet Montreal’s Muslim Mother Teresa who feeds 500 people a day!
Join us on Sunday, June 20 at 8pm EDT for a lighthearted chat with this model Malaysian.
Known affectionately as the ‘Muslim Mother Teresa’ for the noble cause she has dedicated her life towards, Montreal’s Sister Sabariah Hussein, known by most as Sister Sabria, feeds up to 500 people a day. She cooks for a total of 400 to 500 homeless, needy or lonely people with the help of volunteers.
Born in Malaysia, she has devoted her life to helping others, placing their needs before hers. It’s a full-time job – and she doesn’t even get paid for it.
Sister Sabria’s involvement in the Montreal community dates back 30 years, when she arrived in Canada after completing international cuisine courses in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She originally came to work as a specialized educator but found her true calling in volunteerism. As a devout Muslim, she is heavily involved with the Muslim community, cooking thousands of meals for mosques spread throughout the city. She lends a hand to anyone in need, regardless of race, religion or gender. In 2017, as her 70th birthday approached, she created the Sister Sabria Foundation aimed at implementing long-term solutions to eliminate hunger and support women in difficulty.
