Introducing DIRI, an edutainment streaming service that sets to transform learning and development, and it’s available for corporates. With their Limited Early Adopter Package, employers can secure corporate licences.
Introducing DIRI, an edutainment streaming service that sets to transform learning and development
A significant shift in Malaysia’s educational landscape takes place as DIRI, a pioneering edutainment streaming service. Unveiling its approach to Resonance Learning, DIRI combines education and entertainment in a unique blend, poised to redefine traditional education and corporate training. This innovative platform is designed to captivate and educate Malaysians through engaging content from some of the nation’s foremost experts, inviting them to learn from and interact with the brightest minds in the country.
The platform features an impressive array of mentors, including Tan Sri Nazir Razak, former CEO and Chairman of CIMB Group; Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Abdul Wahid Omar, Chairman of Bursa Malaysia; Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Tony Fernandes, a notable figure in aviation; Dato’ Hamidah Naziadin, former Group Chief People Officer of CIMB Group; Malaysia’s first astrophysicist Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr. Mazlan binti Othman; and Datuk Nicol David, an eight-time women’s world squash champion. These mentors share valuable insights on leadership, communication, mindset, innovation, and more through immersive, high-definition cinematic videos.
Sheng Wong, the founder of DIRI, was driven by the goal to make learning more engaging and effective, primarily through the power of storytelling. Sheng identified a gap in the market, particularly during his time in a digital marketing agency, where off-the-shelf courses often fell short of the unique demands of his agency. Transitioning from a concept-driven approach to one that incorporated real-life experiences into his teaching at his agency. Sheng shares, “I realised the true impact of storytelling in learning when I began sharing real-life problem-solving experiences with my clients. It was me, in a chair, a story, and an audience that connected with me. That’s when I truly grasped the power of a good story to connect, resonate, inspire, and engage with learners.”
This realisation led to the creation of DIRI, which is grounded in DIRI’s four core principles: 1. Resonate first, then teach 2. Teach life lessons that stick 3. Education that is entertaining 4. Providing access to the very best in the nation
DIRI offers a broad spectrum of topics, from Leadership to Innovation, catering to various learning needs. It combines educational content with high-quality production, creating an enjoyable learning experience. Designed for flexibility, DIRI’s courses are accessible on both desktop and mobile, in full-length or bite-sized lessons, catering to diverse learning preferences.
Tunku Ali Redhauddin bin Tuanku Muhriz, co-founder of DIRI, brings his diverse experience from across various sectors, including private equity, education, and public service. He views DIRI as more than a learning platform; it’s a movement to equip Malaysians with crucial life, leadership, and management skills, beyond academic achievements, as he emphasised in his opening address, “DIRI is not just a platform; it is a movement. A movement dedicated to equipping Malaysians, from high-potential performers to executives, first-time job seekers, and even the underprivileged, with more than academic excellence. We aim to foster life, leadership, and management skills that complements conventional learning.” Tunku Ali’s vision aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of modern learners.
As DIRI debuts in Malaysia, we aim to make learning not only informative but also stimulating and engaging. At the heart of DIRI is a community where Malaysians can share their stories and perspectives, fostering a new generation of skilled individuals. DIRI’s vision is to eventually provide every Malaysian with the opportunity to learn from the best, offering a mentorship experience that was previously inaccessible.

DigitalClassASEAN.org is unveiled on Global Media and Information Literacy Week and is part of ongoing efforts to empower communities, including those in the Singapore Regional Impact Forum. It also celebrates the achievements and impact of its two-year ASEAN-wide program.
BALI – The ASEAN Digital Literacy Programme (DLP), a collaboration between the ASEAN Foundation and Google.org, Google’s philanthropic arm, unveiled its e-learning platform DigitalClassASEAN.org, at its Impact Forum today.
The platform, part of the ASEAN DLP’s commitment to advancing digital literacy across the region, focuses on inclusivity and accessibility, providing essential tools to support individuals with disabilities on their learning journey.
The ASEAN DLP Impact Forum, which was hosted in Bali from 14 to 16 November 2023 on Global Media and Information Literacy Week, was themed “Navigating Digital Resilience: Empowering ASEAN Communities through Digital Literacy”.
It spotlighted the achievements as well as the impact of the two-year program in ten ASEAN member states, which included Singapore, while bringing together local partners and stakeholders with representatives of the ASEAN Secretariat and the ASEAN Foundation as well as Google.org to discuss various key digital literacy topics.
The aim of the forum was to raise awareness about digital literacy, foster collaboration among stakeholders, and equip participants with the necessary tools and strategies to promote digital inclusion and address digital challenges in the ASEAN region.
Over the course of two years, the ASEAN DLP, in partnership with 15 local implementing organizations, conducted 61 Training of Trainers sessions involving 1,451 Master Trainers across the region. Through this, the program has reached 193,955 individuals through 2,647 digital literacy workshops, exceeding its initial goal of reaching 100,000 people within two years.
Additionally, the ASEAN Youth Advisory Group (YAG), which operates under the ASEAN DLP and comprises selected youth from ten ASEAN countries, has conducted 12 impactful online and on-site digital literacy campaigns across the region. This has directly benefited 3,881 individuals and achieved a combined social media reach of over 930,000 people.
Executive Director of ASEAN Foundation Dr. Piti Srisangnam shared impact report of ASEAN DLP in the impact forum held in bali, indonesia, nov 14
Executive Director of the ASEAN Foundation, Dr Piti Srisangnam, said, “We are delighted with the inroads we have made in Singapore through DoubleCheck, our campaign with ASEAN Youth Advisory Group (YAG), to educate pre-teens and teens. Over the past two years, the work through our implementation partner, Bamboo Builders, has also empowered a new generation of Master Trainers to train new communities and future agents of change.”
“The achievement of ASEAN DLP is a collective accomplishment involving the active participation and dedication of all stakeholders. Having a shared purpose of creating a safer digital space has brought us one step closer to the vision of developing a digitally inclusive Southeast Asia,” he adds.
In Singapore, the programme has trained 50 Master Trainers and 3,098 participants, working alongside Bamboo Builders as a local implementing partner to record significant awareness and active participation among Singaporean youth in the fight against misinformation and disinformation.
Founder of Bamboo Builders Gabriel Tan said, “We are proud to be part of ASEAN DLP in building safer digital spaces. In just a few months, we have trained more than 2,500 beneficiaries, including in-mates from Singapore prison, persons with disabilities, domestic and migrant workers, with digital literacy skills. They will be the agents of change, amplifying digital literacy awareness in their community.”
Along with capacity building, the DoubleCheck campaign aimed to enhance digital literacy among tweens and teens on misinformation and disinformation using a fun edutainment approach. It was spearheaded by Singaporean ASEAN YAG members, Joanne Tan and Esther David.

The commitment, dedication, and passion demonstrated by all participants, trainers, and organisations is truly inspiring and we are proud to support this initiative through Google.org. As we continue on our journey toward a safer internet, let us draw inspiration from these stories of transformation and empowerment.”
Google.org is supporting the ASEAN Foundation with a US$1.5 million grant to aid the implementation of the ASEAN DLP from 2022 to 2024.
Meanwhile the platform DigitalClassASEAN.org, which was unveiled at the forum, has five core modules covering key aspects of digital literacy -digital citizenship, media, and information literacy, addressing misinformation and disinformation, promoting positive online behaviour, as well as tackling special topics like social media etiquette, digital parenting, and online scam prevention.
These modules were developed through collaboration between the ASEAN Foundation and the Break the Fake Movement, a fact-checking organisation based in the Philippines. They are available in eight ASEAN local languages: Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Indonesia, Khmer, Tagalog, Thai, Lao, Burmese, and Vietnamese.
