Malaysians were left in awe of the video, as beyond her beautiful Jawi handwriting, the teacher, Loren Fren, also broke stereotypes about the Jawi script, as she’s a Christian from Sabah.

In the overlaid text of the video, Loren said, “Teaching Jawi script this morning”. Meanwhile, in the caption, she asserted,

“It’s not often that I teach Jawi script, so I made a video to commemorate it. Done with the Jawi topic this year and will continue next year…

“For those who are not aware, since 2020, Jawi script has been in the Bahasa Melayu Year 4 subject and will continue until Year 6 so that students are enriched with Malay art, heritage and history.”
