Tenby Schools Eco Park celebrated Malaysia Day in a befittingly grand way this year on September 19th. Organised by SST, this event began with a colourful parade of all the primary students wearing Malaysian traditional costumes. Witnessing this reminded us of how beautifully culturally rich our country is. The children then gathered in the assembly hall to watch special cultural performances staged by our very own SST students, ranging from Dikir Barat to classical music presentation to traditional dances which were brilliantly executed. A nicely done video clip showing the formation of the Malaysia coalition was also prepared and screened for the audience. The show ended with a rousing and heartwarming singing of the "Jalur Gemilang" song, complete with the proud waving of hundreds of the Malaysia flag throughout the hall. What a glorious end to the Malaysia Day celebration at Tenby SEP!
Many thanks to the students, parents, teachers, staff of both TIS and SST who helped make this event a memorable one. And special thanks to the Principal of SST Pn Lee for pulling everything together and making this day possible. May our children feel the pride of being Malaysian and strive towards the betterment of their beloved tanahair.
After the showcase, the SST PA committee organised a free Malaysian food-tasting buffet for the students. A number of parents contributed local delicacies including local kuihs, nasi lemak and keropok udang to name a few. Needless to say, the entire lot was duly walloped by the children! Thank you to those who brought something to the table! You made many children very delighted that day, especially when they found out the food was free! All in all, a wonderful celebration and a wonderful day. Till next year!
