She urges students seeking higher education to explore additional support from global universities, emphasizing that education is an investment in academic excellence, personal growth, and cultural exposure.

Yew clarifies, “Advocating for flexible study pathways doesn’t imply a retreat from international experiences. Instead, it promotes a strategic approach to education, ensuring that students don’t compromise the quality of their education with global exposure.

“This approach not only cultivates a responsible attitude toward education in uncertain times but also positions students to thrive in an interconnected world.”
