Deaf Awareness: Jenn Chia was Deaf for a day. This is what happened..
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- This video is one that is incredibly close to Jenn Chia heart. Being Deaf for a day has made Jenn more aware of the world around her. It has opened up her mind to a new worldview. Video with English Subtitles.
Before this, Jenn have always deemed the Deaf as, for lack of a better word, incapable of many everyday activities. Yes, she was that stupid and uninitiated.
After this “experiment,” albeit only for a day, she learnt that apart from hearing, the Deaf can do anything a hearing person can... and more.
Without her sense of hearing, she found herself paying more attention when communicating with other people. She became more attentive to signs, cues, and nuances that could indicate what the other person is talking about.
In the making of this video, she realised how much taken words and communication for granted; and how a genuine smile could light up a room, transcending language and senses.
Thank you so much Grab Malaysia for giving her this opportunity to experience something so invaluable.
She want to thank the team as well for supporting her and realising this mini documentary with Jenn Chia. To know more about how you can support the initiative as well, visit website: https://grb.to/GFGSoimjenn.

The store employs 10 Deaf employees and three hearing ones, including the store manager.

Customers place their orders by filling out a menu ticket that they hand to the baristas. The baristas then key in the orders on a dual-screen system where customers can see if their order is correct. The order number is displayed on a large screen above the pickup counter when it’s ready.
The store also has a Starbucks Card kiosk where customers can check their card balances and reward-program points.
Starbucks currently has no plans to replicate this model beyond the Malaysia store, the spokeswoman said.

Harland Sanders The Kentucky Fried Chicken History - KFC is a fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken and is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, in the United States.
KFC was founded by Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of the restaurant franchising concept, and the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opened in Utah in 1952.
KFC popularized chicken in the fast food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger. By branding himself as "Colonel Sanders", Harland became a prominent figure of American cultural history, and his image remains widely used in KFC advertising. wikipedia.org/kfc

LONDON, United Kingdom -- Deaf filmmaking, Ted Evans - a british freelance director, editor and general all round filmmaker based in London, U.K.
Ted Evans having recently visited Malaysia where he met numerous Deaf people from all kinds of backgrounds; He have since fantasied about travelling all over the world, meeting a wide range of unique Deaf people who have a story to tell. During this search the process would also reveal the sub-story of the filmmaker's' journey, as they search for the Deaf people and where they live.
Deaf people are not recorded and they are hidden from view. Deaf History was recorded by a very limited few yet there are so many fascinating stories and characters to unearth.
Having such films would both educate mainstream society on several authentic aspects of Deaf Culture and at the same time serve to inspire Deaf people who do not know how other Deaf people like them, live in countries across the world.
Using the footage his shot in Malaysia, He have put together a promo teaser to give the viewer a sense of style and the type of visuals they'd be keen to incorporate into the films. This is not a real programme or docmentary series.
Filmed by Ted Evans (5DMK2 footage shot mainly by Becky Bailey and a few shots here and there from Brian Duffy)
Ted Evans' statement on the website:
"This is simply something we could do if we had the funding and networks set up. I hope people see this and want to see more because it proves that there would be an audience for such films. I don't know when I can finish this pilot. Firstly I have no budget, secondly there will be some major translation challenges to overcome and this takes time and money something I am very short on. If you wish to help you can donate some money via the Tip-Jar below this film. A big thanks must go out to my friends at silentSHOUT who helped set up a lot of what you see in this clip. They pretty much produced this episode and I appreciate all the time and work they put into our visit. I didn't want the footage to sit on a shelf somewhere so I quickly cut this. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could travel to countries all over the world, finding unique deaf people in all kinds of environments. We already know that some stories would be incredibly sad and difficult, but there will also be inspiring ones and stories that will fascinate everyone. Until then just imagine what we could do!"
