<h2>1. Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, 67 | Attorney &#038; Human Rights Advocate</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p><b>Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan</b> is no stranger to this list, as she previously snagged a spot on last year&#8217;s <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://says.com/my/news/4-malaysian-women-grace-the-forbes-50-over-50-2023-asia-list">list</a>.</p>
<p>A prominent figure for women&#8217;s rights and judicial reform in Malaysia, Ambiga served as <b>the second female president of the Malaysian Bar Council</b>, where she played a pivotal role in organising the influential &#8220;March for Justice&#8221; and <b>chairing </b><i><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://says.com/my/news/bersih-2-0-demands-resignation-of-ec-commissioners-over-ge14-violations"><b>Bersih 2.0</b></a></i>, a movement advocating for free and fair elections.</p>
<p>As <b>a founding member of the Women&#8217;s Aid Organisation</b>, Ambiga is actively involved in promoting women&#8217;s rights. Her advocacy for women&#8217;s testimonies to hold equal weight in the <i>syariah</i> courts earned her the 2009 US International Women of Courage Award from then first lady Michelle Obama and US secretary of state Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p><b>She currently serves as the President of the Pure Life Society</b>, a charitable home which provides support for orphans and the underprivileged. Ambiga&#8217;s dedication to human rights and her influential leadership roles have earned her recognition and accolades, including the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Medal of Honor and the Gandhi Memorial Trust Public Service Award.</p>

<h2>A 50-year-old man has gained praise and admiration for courageously jumping into a monsoon drain to rescue a woman after her car skidded into it at KM42.5 of the Johor Bahru–Kota Tinggi Highway</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>The incident, which happened on 7 January, came to light after <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://web.facebook.com/watch/?v=359132510053192&amp;t=4">a video</a>&nbsp;was uploaded on <i>Orang Kota Tinggi</i>, a community Facebook group.</p>
<p>The 14-second video showed a woman struggling to hold on to the back of a submerged Perodua Myvi amid strong currents in the huge floodwater-filled drain.</p>
<p>Shortly thereafter, a man, now known as Choo Ngiam Choong, was seen jumping over the guardrail and moving the woman to the banks of the drain, while the car was swept away.</p>

<p>Choo recounted that he was on his way from Kota Tinggi to Mawai, Johor, to have breakfast when he noticed his friend halting his car ahead of him, reported the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2024/01/998419/i-didnt-think-twice-kota-tinggi-man-hailed-hero-after-jumping-drain-save">New Straits Times.</a></p>
<p>He said he was shocked upon witnessing the Perodua Myvi being carried away by the strong current in the storm drain along with the two women.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think twice and immediately jumped in to save the woman after seeing her being swept away by the strong current,&#8221; he told the New Straits Times.</p>
<p>&#8220;One woman managed to save herself, while the other was being swept away. Considering the risk of drowning, I immediately jumped in to reach the woman, and several other friends did too, as passersby at the scene also assisted,&#8221; he added.</p>
