IPOH: Another recognition for the Sugu Pavithra YouTube channel which was yet again mentioned by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
"We would never have thought the Prime Minister would mention our YouTube channel in his speech. We feel proud and this is another feather in the cap for us," said S.Pavithra.
Her YouTube channel received a mention by Muhyiddin during his address on the Economic Recovery Plan (Penjana), which was carried live, today.
The 28-year-old and her husband, M. Sugu, 29, have captured the heart of many Malaysians for their sincerity and humbleness in demonstrating their cooking skills on their YouTube channel.
Pavithra said she and her husband have planned to open a restaurant next year.
"We plan to open our restaurant, probably next year...but since the prime minister mentioned this in his speech, we will do our best to make it a reality. We just can't wait to open it.
"Thank you again, prime minister, for specifically mentioning us. We are only ordinary people but we still can't believe that he would mention our name. This means the world to us," she said today.
The mother of two said at the moment their only focus was to produce more cooking demonstration videos which would be uploaded onto their channel twice a week.
"We are only cooking the traditional menus currently. We are not good at cooking, we just wanted to share the joy of cooking with the people.
"However, we are happy when we receive good comments from people who have tried cooking using our recipes. We will share more recipes on our YouTube channel," she added.
Pavithra from Buntong here said she started the YouTube channel on Jan 28 this year, and since then she has been uploading her cooking demonstration videos and has garnered more than 637,000 subscribers to date.
The couple even received a surprise gift from Muhyiddin on May 11, and among the items were a camera tripod, microwave, oven, rice cooker and cooking essentials.
