Dancing for a good cause

Cute dancers:These colourfully-attired performers are among 260 pre-schoolers showcasing their talents at a dancing contest.


BENDING their knees and spreading their hands out, a group of young children got ready on stage to perform their Thai classical dance.

The group was among 260 pre-schoolers gathered at the hall of SJK (C) Chung Hwa (2) in Taman Bagan for the Seberang Prai Pre-School Dance Competition recently.

Held for the first time, 27 kindergartens in the area took part in the competition. The children, aged between four and six years old, were dressed in various costumes. There were those dressed in pantaloons and belly button barring blouses for the Arabian dance and a group of children dressed as mime artists.

The event was organised by Bagan Jermal assemblyman Ooi Chuan Aik’s service centre.

“We have managed to collect RM3,000 and the proceeds will be given to Pusat Harian Tunas Harapan Pektas in Mak Mandin and the But-terworth branch of the National Au-tism Society of Malaysia,” said Ooi at the event.

He added that the event was also held to expose the younger children to different cultures.

“It is obvious the little children trained hard for their performances. It is important for children to perform well academically and also be active in co-curriculum activities,” he said.

The winning team of the night was the dance troupe from Tadika Persatuan Pendidikan Akhlak Che Wee Khor in Butterworth. They won the first prize of RM300.

The 18 girls and boys in the troupe performed a Chinese traditional dance titled Miracle.

Kindergarten teacher Angie Ng said: “It was not that hard to teach them the steps. The boys performed a dance using drumsticks while the girls performed the ribbon dance.

“It took us only one-and-a-half months to perfect the dance,” she said.

The kindergarten’s younger pupils also walked away with the second prize.

Under the tutelage of kindergar-ten teacher Sim Bee Kian, the children, aged four and five, performed a Japanese Doll dance.

The girls looked adorable in their fetching pink kimonos and feet en-cased in socks with Japanese slippers. The boys were dressed in flowered kimono coats and knee-length shorts.

Third prize-winner was Tadika Simpang Ampat who participants performed a dance with lighted artificial lotus flowers. The girls were dressed in cream chiffon dresses with Mongolian headdresses.

【活动预告】《学习如何学习》讲座

(一):缘起 学习如何学习,一切从系统开始学习

2004年11月,当马来西亚政党、社团及政府在全国推展 《终生学习运动》时,我们简直是高举双手表示热烈的欢迎及支持,毕竟马来西亚的学习风气确实处于令人担忧的状况,尤其是在全球化的今天,如果还是没有人唤醒国人对学习的注重、没有人积极推动学习的风气、没有人告诉我们不学习的代价,我们就可能不再坚持学习,不再与时并进,可能也就因此狠狠地被抛在时代的后头了。

沈士翔讲师常年到国外考察研究,发现外国人民与大马人民学习的心态根本就无法相提并论,这个现象我们都可在购物广场、巴士站、轻快铁里及公共场所等地方看出所然。在那儿国外,他们虽然一样与我们生活在等待的当中,但是他们一定一书在手或是边听着耳机边学新的语文,根本没时间理会他人;而在热带雨林的我们(马来西亚人)却是两眼发呆只懂得痴痴地等待,不然就偷听旁人的闲聊或暂且 「闭目养神」……看吧,人家是分秒必争地向学习看齐,而我们(马来西亚人)却是任由时间白白流失,让学习的机会与我们擦身而过,这种情况你我敢言不严重吗?

当然,我们还是有一小部分的爱好学习者。然而,沈讲师却发现了另外一个关键问题,那就是大马子民并不是不想学习,而是不知道该从何学习。其实,我们都知道学习的重要性及学习的好处,所以我们非常支持政府、政党、盈利或非盈利团体所推广的学习运动,然而,为何当初热血沸腾的热烈欢迎会演变成今天冷淡的参与呢?理由很简单,一切的问题只因我们正在面对没有系统的学习困境,一个我们不曾发现的冷却了我们学习热诚的 「退烧暗器」。

有鉴于此,我们必须找出解药,并对症下药解决大家目前所面对的学习困境,希望重新挽回大家对学习的热忱,能够快乐地享受学习所带来的满足感及真正领悟学习中的丰富知识及学问。

为了为社会尽一点绵力,希望能把沈士翔讲师成功研究的有效学习系统与大家一同分享一同学习,所以就举办了《从学习如何学习开始,一切从系统开始学习》的讲座会。但愿讲座中的学习系统及一些真实的学习个案能有效地协助大家发掘学习中的奥妙及乐趣,领导你重投学习的怀抱,创造自己的未来,并共同打造热爱学习的马来西亚,共创我们美好的前景及成功的人生!
