SEMBANG-SEMBANG UTARA


“The Creative Enterprise : Innovate Your Business” was the topic discussed at the 1st Sembang Sembang Utara, held in Penang on the 4th of May 2011.  Why, I’m writing about it? Because, I was one of the panelist. Well, obviously I was not the best choice, but since I hail from the North Land and they practically beg me to come home….
I shared the panelist seats with…wow, awesome great women, the likes of Vice President of DPMMPP, Cik Yuslinov Ahmad, a civil and syariah lawyer and an active champion of women’s rights issues. Hajjah Aishah Yeop Abdul Rahman, Vice Chairperson of Perlembagaan Pertubuhan Kebajikan Wanita Darul Hasanah, Pulau Pinang, another lawyer by profession. Ms Krista Goon, co-founder of Rex Box Studio, a web design and marketing company with a difference: She told me, as a child she aspire to be a lawyer….And the moderator, Puan Fazlina Dato’ Ahmad Daud, actress, event host, artiste and businesswoman.
And of course, there was me, Shahema Baiza-Yip, Jill of all trade, master of none. I did not want to disappoint anyone, I gave my commitment and I did my best. One thing for sure….I do have the Give of the Gap.
Blah, Blah, Blah…it was quite a show with me speaking “Uthagra”
The participants graciously received my motto in life: Happiness, Health and Wealth. My Golden Rule: GOD first, Family 2nd and Career 3rd. As well as my business concept: Social Entrepreneurship – GO GIVE. Always keep a Smile ready.
I was overwhelmed by the respond that I received from everyone on that day, The attention was awesome and I would like to say Thank you, so very much.  It was nice coming home.
