Students participating in the Germ Catching Challenge.

7th September 2006 Both female and male students packed the theatre of SEGi College Subang Jaya for the Women Wellness Workshop recently. There were a lot of activities going on during the Women Wellness Workshop, not only talks, but games as well. The talks started at 12noon, but a lot of students were at SEGi College Theatre Hall at 11am to participate in the pre-talk activities such as “Johnson & Johnson Germ-Catching Challenge”, “Body Mass Index (BMI) Measurement”,“Blood Pressure Test”, “Eye Test” and so on. Students not only got to measure Blood pressure and have their eye test by professionals for free, but also join the “Johnson & Johnson Germ-Catching Challenge” and win gifts by Johnson & Johnson!

“The purpose of having the Women Wellness Workshop is to educate our young female students in SEGi College and to impart them with correct information about health and personal hygiene,” said Lee Kok Cheng, Chief Operating Officer of SEG International Bhd and Principal of SEGi College Subang Jaya.

The show had started at noon . The workshop started with a talked by Norazlina Moktar. She gave a lot of useful information about the correct of keeping our eyes healthy, how to wear contact lenses and the dos and don'ts. In was indeed a beneficial talk because a lot of the information given was not known by the public.

“More and more students nowadays have to get their glasses on at a very young age, it is kind of sad to see our youngsters' daily activities are limited due to the eye problems that they have,” said Lee Kok Cheng.

The second speech of the day was given by Dr. Tang Boon Nee who is an obstetrical & gynaecologist consultant and also the treasurer of the Obstetrical & Gynaecological Society of Malaysia.

“I had a 16-year-old girl walking into my clinic, telling me she is pregnant…” was the attention grabbing opening to Dr. Tan's talk on feminine hygiene and sex.

Her talk was very beneficial to the female students as she told them how to take care of themselves internally and externally. Personal hygiene is very important for a girl according to Dr. Tang. She told the audiences to practice healthy life style, not only physically and mentally, but sexually as well.

“It is a great concern to know that Dr. Tang's patient got pregnant at the age of sixteen. We hope it won't happen to our students, therefore we organised this workshop to give our young females a positive thought about health, fitness and sex,” said Lee.

“I am really happy to see students coming to the workshop. It is indeed a successful and beneficial event for all! SEGi College will definitely organise more activities and workshop like this in the future. We are not only looking at educating the mind to prepare our students for a promising career, but also to provide them with an education on life for their future,” added Lee.
