Pandai is excited to introduce Semarak Merdeka, a campaign that honours Malaysia’s independence with a number of entertaining and instructive events, in connection with the month of Merdeka. This initiative aims to commemorate the country’s rich history and lively culture by involving educators, parents, and students. Semarak Merdeka seeks to foster solidarity, patriotism, and hands-on learning opportunities through a variety of competitions and activities. In Malaysia, August is a momentous month that symbolises the country’s march towards independence and its subsequent achievements. Students may get a deeper grasp of Malaysia’s history and the principles that bind us together as a country by taking part in these activities.
We invite you to join us in this grand celebration of independence and learning. Whether you are a student eager to show off your artistic skills, a parent looking to engage your child in educational activities, or an educator seeking to inspire your students, Semarak Merdeka has something for everyone. Read on to discover the exciting activities we have lined up and how you can be a part of this memorable event!
