Digi Redefines The Meaning of Family with Journey To A Reunion CNY video

KOTA KINABALU, 22 February 2018 - Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) has released 'Journey To a Reunion', a video to showcase what it means to be family, in light of the Chinese New Year celebrations for this year.

The narrative in the video underlines the fact that family is what we make of the relationships around us. Beyond the traditional definition of family, there are also those who have left such an impact upon our lives that they are considered family. The care and affection shown by such a person demonstrates that the definition of family can go beyond blood ties.

For many of us, family is the most important thing around the time of festivities. It is a time for coming together and strengthening relationships with loved ones. Digi’s Chinese New Year video provides a new take on reunions and family by reuniting a Chinese school teacher and her students, many of which have been inspired and touched by her.

Madam Chuang, a one of a kind teacher, from Kota Kinabalu is the unsung hero in this story. She lived her vocation as a teacher with love and compassion. This is witnessed through the testimonials of her students in the video. To all of them she was more than a teacher. She was family.

Digi's Head of Region for Sabah, Melvin Yap said, "Connecting people to what matters most has always been at the centre of what we do at Digi. This Chinese New Year we were inspired by the story of Madam Chuang who played the role of mentor, teacher, friend and family to many of her students. We hope that the story of Madam Chuang and her students will motivate more Malaysians to reconnect with the important people that have shaped their lives."
