PEP started in Taylors in March 2015 at the Taylors Hostel Management unit. This was the first PEP workshop conducted in Malaysia. With about 20 students attending the workshops over the 10 sessions,, 9 completed the course. Simultaneously the program was also conducted for the Hostel management staff in English with some translation in Malay to help some of the participants understand the content better. 14 staff members completed the course. 

Prem Rawat accepted an invitation to speak to these students and the faculty in September 2015. Subsequently a few more rounds of the program were conducted for the students from the main campus. Some trained to be facilitators and conducted some sessions for their peers. Prem Rawat accepted an invitation to speak at Taylors University for the second time in October 2016.

The PEP in MAB started in 2017. It was conducted in English for the staff. Out of 12 who attended the course 7 completed it. The PEP 1 workbook and articles were them transcribed into Braille with the help of the MAB staff and sent to TPRF. 

Following the successful completion of these workshops the PEP was extended to the students in Malay. It was discontinued after the 6th workshop due to a change in the students’ timetable and the difficulty in conducting the workshops at a suitable time. 

The facilitator of the program who started teaching English at MAB in August 2018 incorporated the use of the program materials in his English lessons. The students were exposed to some selected videos from different themes. The full 10 workshops were not carried out for them. The animation stories were used (as were stories from the book “Splitting the Arrow”) Two students from MAB took part in the Kifubon story telling competition in 2018.
