What's something we use every day, but don't notice until it's gone? If you thought the answer was our 'voice', you were right. To bring attention to this, World Voice Day is celebrated every April 16th, and joining Chwi Lynn Lee in this celebration today is Professor Kartini Ahmad, voice pathology specialist and founding head of the UKM Speech Pathology Program, and Professor Dr. Siti Charaini Proehoeman, head of the voice department at ASWARA and our regional soprano.
