CELFE Nottingham Malaysia

If you see anyone in spooky attire on Tuesday, 31 October, it could just be one of our CELFE students, wishing to embrace the Halloween spirit!

Halloween is fast approaching, and we have exciting news for you: Be sure to put on your scariest and best costumes you have this 31st October for CELFE Hallow Snap to stand a chance of winning a 3-month Spotify Premium Gift Card as well as being featured on our Instagram page.

CELFE extends its sincere condolences to the monarch's family, the people and the government of the United Kingdom on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty was a towering figure and led a lifetime of dedication and service to the people of the UK and the Commonwealth.

In 1957, Malaysia proclaimed its independence and became a democratic country. The people live harmoniously and the culture of Malaysia is so diverse, thanks to the unique influence from the east and west of this country. Since the declaration of independence, Malaysia has had its share of achievements and world records, including the Petronas Twin Towers which is the tallest twin tower in the world. Apart from its infrastructure advancements, Malaysia has also shown its technological and economical capability by producing its very first automobile brand in 1985, named Proton, and exporting its cars to many countries around the globe. We at the University of Nottingham Malaysia are proud to celebrate Malaysia’s National Day on the 31 August as it marks freedom and pride to call ourselves SAYA ANAK MALAYSIA!

CELFE would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. While the holiday season is a time to fill our hearts with love and cheer, let’s not forget our social responsibilities in limiting the spread and transmission of Covid-19.

*Our thoughts and prayers goes to those affected by the recent flood.*

CELFE is proud to announce that one of our current foundation in Business and Management (FBM) students, 17 year-old Bhumi Mudgal has published her 2nd book! Bhumi loves writing poems and stories to help her deal with emotional challenges and heal.

She was bullied as child because of her eye condition,
Optical Neuritis. She says even as a child she was aware that her bullies were also children who did not know better, so she started writing to flush out negative emotions. She now writes about a variety of topics, and she hopes to create a difference for people who shared similar experiences or condition.

A lovely review from one reader: "This is a great compilation of short poems depicting the various facets of life from the lens of a teenager." If you love poems or wish to support this young writer, go to Book Depository's webpage or click this link https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Bhumi-Mudgal-ebook/product-reviews/B084VTLKYH/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews
