Happy Mother's Day | 10 May 2026

Once upon a time, she was just a girl with her own dreams and then she became the person who helped us build ours. She’s been a teacher, a doctor, a chef and a best friend, often all before lunchtime. Life doesn’t come with a manual but it does come with a mother and that’s honestly better. Love you always, Ibu/Mama/Emak/Amma/Ma/Ummi/Mummy.

To the woman who does it all and still finds time to be the best part of every day. Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Labour Day! | 1st May 2026

Did you know that May 1st is actually the ultimate reminder to protect your mental bandwidth?

While we are out here grinding on our research and chasing deadlines, let's look at the history of May Day. It started back in 1886 with the Haymarket Affair where workers fought for the 8-hour workday. Their motto? "8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, 8 hours for what we will."

For the postgrad community, that 8 hours for rest often feels like a myth but today is a literal historical mandate to log off.

Happy Labour Day!

Happy Eid Fitri to the PGA fam! Whether you are celebrating in the kampung or staying back to finish that draft, may your day be filled with love, laughter and zero "When are you graduating?" questions from the aunties.

‎إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Salam Takziah buat keluarga Profesor Diraja Terpuji Tan Sri Dr. Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, tokoh pemikir peradaban Islam yang telah kembali ke rahmatullah pada 8 Mac 2026.

Sepanjang kerjayanya dalam dunia akademik, Allahyarham menghasilkan puluhan karya ilmiah dalam pelbagai bidang termasuk falsafah, sejarah, teologi, kesusasteraan dan tamadun Islam yang menjadi rujukan penting dalam kalangan sarjana di seluruh dunia.

Sumbangan besar Allahyarham dalam memartabatkan tradisi keilmuan Islam serta memperkukuh wacana intelektual Melayu-Islam menjadikan beliau antara tokoh pemikir paling berpengaruh di rantau ini.

Semoga Allah SWT mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya dan menempatkan beliau dalam kalangan orang-orang yang beriman.

Al-Fatihah
‎بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـنِ ٱلرَّحِيم ۞ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـلَمِين۞ ٱلرَّحْمَـنِ ٱلرَّحِيم۞ مَـلِكِ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّين۞إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ۞ ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ۞صِرَطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ۞ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّينَ۞امين

Happy International Women's Day! | 8 March 2026

It is a curious and rather wonderful fact of history that whenever women are given the space to flourish, the surrounding nation tends to follow suit with a sudden, remarkable burst of competence. This is a matter of sound structural engineering.

The theme "Memartabat Wanita, Memperkukuh Negara" suggests a very logical reality: a country is only as sturdy as the people who uphold its dignity. To uplift women is the act of ensuring that the architects, educators, scientists and thinkers who happen to be women are operating at full capacity.

When we uplift the status of women, we are tightening the bolts on the entire national machine. We get better schools and more resilient economies.

So, on this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the half of the population that keeps the wheels turning, the lights on and the future looking considerably brighter than it might otherwise be.

To all women out there, happy International Women's Day ✨

17 Ramadan 1447H | 7 March 2026

Nuzul Al-Quran refers to the historical event of the first revelation of the Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The term "Nuzul" means "descending" or "coming down," symbolizing the transmission of divine guidance from the heavens to Earth.

For Muslims, Nuzul Al-Quran is a time for deep reflection, increased recitation of the holy book and a renewal of commitment to its teachings of compassion, justice and faith.

Wishing everyone a blessed Nuzul Al-Quran.

1 Ramadan 1447H | 19 February 2026

Ramadan’s here again.

For many Muslims, we have been waiting for this month for the reset. The kind that makes us slow down, check our heart and remember what actually matters. It is amazing how Ramadan turns the simplest things into something meaningful: waking up half asleep for suhoor, making it through the long hours, catching ourselves before we snap and being more intentional with our words, time and energy.

Bismillah for a Ramadan that softens the heart and brings barakah into our days. May we show up consistently even in small ways. May our du’as feel closer, our patience get stronger and our homes feel lighter.

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙

Happy Chinese New Year 2026! | 17 February 2026

Chinese New Year 2026 in Malaysia always hits different. One minute it’s mandarin oranges on the table, the next it’s neighbours popping by with smiles, snacks and “eat more, eat more” energy. The house smells like good food and the playlist is somehow a mix of everything. The best part is seeing everyone, no matter the background, show up like family.

Somewhere between the snacks and the laughter, the postgraduate brain is still whispering: reply the supervisor… fix the references… stop overthinking Chapter 4. But for today, the thesis can wait, just a little, while the heart gets a refill.

Wishing you a year full of health, joy and steady prosperity.
