Introduction on PCORE:
PCORE is the acronym for Peace, COnscience and REason, a citizen movement which has been initiated to promote healthy discussion on the way forward to achieve peace and national unity.
By raising awareness on the importance of lending the voices of peace, conscience and reason at all levels of discourse, a conducive environment will be created to implement meaningful programmes and initiatives.
By stimulating the energy of the young and the experience of the veterans, the collective wisdom will produce constructive ideas for change and development.
PCORE's inaugural forum in November 2010 was supported by Yayasan 1Malaysia and ASLI, and graced by the royal guest of honour DYMM Raja Zarith Sofiah Binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah. It was attended by Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali and Dato' Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil as well as prominent speakers, civil society activists, representatives from government agencies, institutions of higher learning, NGOs and the private sector.
PCORE represents a group of citizens who embrace and share the notion of peace as the way forward to achieve the national goals of unity and integration. Peace is the universal path to meaningful dialogue, communication and discourse among diverse groups of people.
Forum Objectives:
The objective of the Youth Forum is to introduce PCORE and to encourage the UK Malaysian student movement to lend their voices of peace, conscience and reason to promote
initiatives for nation building. PCORE addresses issues that are of interest and concern to youth, among which are the following:
A. LEADERSHIP AND ITS ROLE, FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN SHAPING A NATION
B. CHANGING VALUE SYSTEMS AND THEIR IMPACT ON SOCIETY
C. INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMMES
Speaker's Profile:
DATIN HALIMAH MOHD SAID is a writer and citizen journalist who contributes regularly to "Letters to the Editor" in three mainstream newspapers, namely New Straits Times, The Star and The Sun.
Her writings represent an analytical viewpoint on issues of national concern such as corruption, education and socio‐cultural problems, and a discussion of their societal
ramifications.
Besides the traditional print media, her postings regularly appear in her blog ninitalk.wordpress.com and on Facebook, reaching out to both the older and younger generations.
Currently, she sits on the committee of several organisations including Persatuan Bahasa Moden Malaysia and Heritage Asia.
As a long‐serving educationist and academician specialising in English and Linguistics – secondary school teacher (1969-76) and university lecturer (1976-2000) - she has contributed and edited numerous writings including the co‐authorship of a book Images of the Jawi Peranakan of Penang (2004).
As the founder of PCORE, she is actively pursuing activities on the ground including a Youth Forum in the first quarter of 2011, an Art Exhibition in the last quarter as well as community, art and language camps.

Thanks to Joyce Tagal and Anand Pillai, 2 of my very good friends who are leading this initiative. ----Otak-Otak : An Internship Program for LeadersWhat is it : Otak-Otak is a highly selective leadership program for interns to be held during the June - July 2011 period. We are looking to accept 50 top students and place them in leading organisations across 4 sectors in Malaysia - the corporate sector, small businesses, goverment, and the non profit realm. All interns will have access to events most evenings after work (networking, site visits, training from corporates), and also share common accomodation - with regular sharing and development sessions planned. Why its important : This is a unique oppurtunity for students to participate in a highly selective program of its kind and share experiences with other students who are going through the same program. It will be the first year (of many to come) for a very innovative program that will allow young Malaysians to work at top companies across KL and at the same time be part of a larger group. How to Apply : Application details and more program information can be found at www.otak2.com

About Teach For Malaysia
Teach For Malaysia's vision is for all children in Malaysia to have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. We are enlisting Malaysia's most outstanding youth in our mission to end education inequity. Teach For Malaysia participants would serve for a minimum of 2 years in challenging schools and commit to transform the educational outcomes of less-privileged schoolchildren through significantly improving their achievements and aspirations. In time, our alumni would form an influential network of leaders, committed in their pursuit of expanding educational opportunities from within and outside of the education sector. Currently in the early stages of development, Teach For Malaysia aims to place its first cohort of 50 participants in challenging classrooms at the start of the school term in January 2012.
