Honorable delegates, she believes PMUN 2020 will be a place for you to not only demonstrate substances excellences but also excels at your diplomatic and networking skills and before meeting you in WTO, she’d like to pass on an advice: prepare the fullest, enjoy the entire process of Model UN, and remember, there is more to bring home

Choong Yun Ni
WTO: Co-chair
Currently studying Politics, History and International Relations (PHIR) in the University of Nottingham Malaysia, Choong Yun Ni (Winnie) took up MUN in her foundations and had since then both participated and chaired in a few councils in the UK aside from within Malaysia. She finds it absolutely fascinating how intricate, complex and yet how fragile the world may be. To her: as long as there are humans in this world, there will be human error creating waves in politics. With that, she is looking forward to what the WTO council would bring. “Bring your A-game and let’s have some fun!”
Tuck Kei Yong
UNHRC: Chair
Currently studying law as an undergraduate student at the University of Bristol, Tuck looks forward to serve as your Chair in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Aside from prioritising diplomacy and consensus-building, Tuck strongly emphasizes delegates, especially who are beginners, to not be concerned with the overwhelming rules of procedure as he will guide each delegates step-by-step. Thus, delegates are reminded to actively participate during council debates and drafting of resolution.
Koay Yi Ting
UNHRC: C0-chair
Hello delegate. My name is Koay Yi Ting, and it is my pleasure to serve as your co-chair in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Having recently graduated from A-levels in the midst of a global pandemic, I am likely to be soul-searching while contemplating my university options at the time of reading.
Ever since embarking on my MUN journey during Penang Model United Nations 2018, I have delegated in 5 conferences, and PMUN 2020 will mark my first chairing experience. Having been in your shoes not too long ago, I would advise beginner delegates not to feel intimidated by other delegates or the chairs, and speak up as much as possible.
See you at the conference!

He believes that joining MUN is not just about the knowledge that was gained by those who participated, it is also the experience and friendship gained along the way. He also believes that MUN is a good platform for youths to be more aware of current issues and prepare themselves to face a rapidly changing world in which they will inherit in the future.
