Its curriculum is rooted in the Finnish model of child-centric education, supported by digital learning tools and a strong parent-engagement framework.
With recognition by global education platform HundrED, YELAOSHR has demonstrated how a Malaysian-born education system can scale internationally while maintaining measurable excellence in student outcomes.

Many years ago, we started this journey with a simple dream — to help children who have problems in school. Some students cannot read well. Some feel scared. Some have low confidence. We wanted to help them. So, we created a different way of teaching — more patient, more caring, and easier to understand. said Dr. Carol Yap, Co-Founder of YELAOSHR.

With this dual recognition, YELAOSHR joins a distinguished community of changemakers, reinforcing Malaysia’s leading role in the global conversation around innovative, inclusive, and impactful education.

One of Malaysia’s most iconic institutions in agro-tourism and hospitality, Bangi Resort Hotel, has officially been recognized by ASEAN Records for its pioneering role in durian-based tourism and regional engagement. The resort received two prestigious record titles:
First Durian-Friendly Hotel & Resort Since 2018 First B2B Durian Festival Featuring Fresh Durian Since 2018
The recognition was presented during the 5th ASEAN Records Gather of Achievers at Tee Off Lounge, Bangi Golf Resort, and was witnessed by YB Tuan Syahredzan bin Johan, Member of Parliament for Bangi.
Championing Innovation Through Durian Hospitality
Since 2018, Bangi Resort Hotel has broken traditional barriers by being the first hotel in the ASEAN region to officially welcome durian consumption within its premises — an industry-defining move in a sector long governed by “no durian” policies.
By embracing the King of Fruits, the hotel has redefined luxury with a uniquely Malaysian twist — offering durian tastings and culinary experiences that blend comfort, culture, and cuisine. From leisure guests to business travellers, the resort provides immersive experiences that pay tribute to local flavours and traditions.
Further reinforcing its leadership, Bangi Resort Hotel also launched the first B2B durian-focused festival, bringing together traders, exporters, farmers, and agricultural professionals. This bold initiative created a dedicated business networking platform for durian stakeholders, reinforcing durian’s position not just as a delicacy, but as a driver of economic and agro-tourism value.
“You are not just recipients of a certificate. You are role models. You are proof that passion, persistence, and purpose can lead to remarkable accomplishments,” — YB Tuan Syahredzan bin Johan, MP for Bangi
A Message from Bangi Resort Hotel
“This recognition is a proud moment for us and a validation of our bold vision. When we first embraced durian hospitality in 2018, it was a leap of faith — but we believed in the potential of cultural tourism and the uniqueness of Malaysia’s local identity. Today, we’re honoured to see that belief recognized across ASEAN.” — Chung Ky Soh, Executive Director, Bangi Resort Hotel
ASEAN Records applauds Bangi Resort Hotel for championing innovation in agro-tourism and setting a new benchmark for hospitality in Southeast Asia.
