MULTITALENTED, MULTILINGUAL WITH OVER
30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN PERFORMANCES
Our Emcee M.Y. is experienced in speaking for formal and non-formal events. Her emcee experience began in Year 2004 when she was still studying in a local college in Penang. She emceed for the Law Society’s election of board members. Law Society, you ask ? Yes, you read that right. She possess a law degree with honours, LLB. (Hons).
*Update : We found that the first captured media of Emcee M.Y. speaking with a microphone was in 1996 where she gave a speech during a stage performance she planned with her class. Oh, that talkative little miss. Looking into memory, her speaking journey on stage began before that, in the early 90s but there was no recorded media of her that time. You know, not everyone is so thoughtful to take a picture/video of her performing, so she forgot herself and didn’t know she had so much exposure already.
You think she’s quiet ? Think again. She is trained in the legal field. How can she not talk. People usually expect emcees or those in the legal field to always be talking non-stop (talk about being judgmental), she is not always talkative and likes to have a good mixture of being quiet and deciding when to talk. After all, she is the owner of this business, so it is important to listen aside from talking. She has a previous background in mooting, lecturing, teaching and being a speaker, to name a few.
M.Y.’s experience in speaking includes taking part in a mooting event during her study years in university, held at the London School of Economics in the United Kingdom. Her mooting was heard by Paul Garlick QC, who is a Queen’s Counsel, who gave her a score of 9/10 for overall speaker presentation. That is the highest score received amongst all the participants of that mooting section and she is one of the two participants to receive that. A Queen’s Counsel is a senior lawyer who is appointed by the Queen to be “one of Her Majesty’s Counsel learned in the law”. Who is Her Majesty ? That would be Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, who was the Queen of England until her demise in Year 2022.
Having worked in the corporate sector in the United Kingdom and Malaysia as well as her exposure to meeting students from different countries around the world while studying, M.Y. is comfortable with speaking to people from different ethnicities. She enjoys creative arts and likes to stay fit.
Since young, she has choreographed several dance pieces for high school, college and university performances as well as danced for events. She has choreographed aerobics dances when she was the Aerobics Captain in her high school and she was active in sports where she ran tracks and played several sports games. She is certified in music and in her younger days, she has won choir competitions, acted in plays and a musical theatre. When she grew up, she set foot into the modelling world, though irregularly. Her participation in beauty pageants saw her winning titles for one of Malaysia’s leading mall for Ambassador & Ambassadress search and also for a Miss Oriental Queen pageant.
SPEAKING AT BEAUTY PAGEANTS
She left the creative arts world behind when she went into the corporate world to work in the legal line. She became dull… Working life from 8am to 6pm was a bit like being a zombie. It was not until Year 2011 that she started emceeing again for a wedding. Not long later, she left the corporate world behind and she knew she needed to get her creative side again. Revival !
SPEAKING AT WEDDINGS
DAI KAM JIE/DAIKUM/MASTER OF TEA CEREMONY/WEDDING CHAPERONE
After that, she emceed, performed for some dance performances, did a bit of modelling and acted in a contemporary drama-dance piece for a Christmas event. She decides to keep the emcee part active, along with dance and choreography, if the circumstances are right. It is desirable to perform all her talents but health and well-being needs to be taken into account. She has also picked up her video shooting hobby again which was left off since her time in the United Kingdom. She produces simple videos that are featured on our website and social media.
SPEAKING AT STAGE PERFORMANCES/STAGE EVENTS
SPEAKING AT MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF FORMAL & INFORMAL EVENTS
