patriotic story-telling anyone?

the malaysian information department is organising the patriotic story-telling competition nationwide. an annual event to promote among the people a sense of patriotism by remembering past struggles of the nation's leaders and appreciating the nation's progress, this competition is opened to malaysian citizens between the age of 18 and 45. opened to groups of between two to three members, every state will be organising at state level this month and the winning group will represent their respective states at the national level to be held in johor in june.

it would be interesting to see the apparent change in format. previously the competition was opened to individuals but this year a group approach has been introduced to encourage bigger participation.

so if you feel strongly about past contributions of figures or maybe incidents worth remembering in our nation's bid for independence and progress, this competition is worth trying. the prizes at stake are quite enticing. details about the programme can be obtained from information offices across the country. tell stories. have fun. be patriotic. enjoy.

what say you?
