Broadening knowledge in
Malaysian history and
nation building
How good are you at researching and
presenting historical material? Over
forty students from Kolej Vokasional
Kajang found out when they showed
off their research and public speaking
talents on the 8th of August 2015 at the
Perdana Leadership Foundation Information Literacy programme, organised
by the Perdana Library.
The students were divided into different groups and competed against
each other, working against the clock to
answer research questions posed by the
Foundation. Each group had help in the
form of Perdana Library staff plus the
books and rich digital resources of Perdana Library. The questions ranged from
the formation of Malaysia to Vision 2020.
After lunch, the groups presented
their findings to their peers and a panel
of judges. The winning group was the
one with the toughest subject: 13th May
1969, while the best presenter award
went to the eloquent Danial Asyraff Bin
Norhasnizam. The prize giving ceremony
was officiated by the Foundation’s General Manager, Puan Zarina Abu Bakar.
