Congratulations to Evelyn Chen Siaw Yin for receiving the
Generation Google Scholarship: For women in computer science (Asia Pacific).
In a LinkedIn post by Marc Woo, the Managing Director of Google Malaysia & Frontier Markets, notes that Evelyn is the only Malaysian to receive the honour.
I believe that stereotypes are widespread against women in tech. I want to prove this does not hold true and one ought to be adequately and fairly recognised for their character and contributions.

Evelyn, who is currently a student at Taylors University pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, was quoted in a still video on Marc’s LinkedIn page stating that she has experienced discouraging statements in the past and she’s here to prove that such assumptions do not hold true.
