KUANTAN: Ten secondary schools, in collaboration with the Kuantan District Education Office and BASF Petronas Chemicals Sdn Bhd, took part in a drama competition recently that presented the meaning of 1Malaysia.
Having seen a good response to the event over the past three years, the organisers took this year’s competition to a bigger venue - the RTM Auditorium.
BASF Petronas human resources management director Halid Abdul Hamid said: “By supporting the education system through interactive programme such as the English drama, the community and the company can strike a win-win situation.”
“By educating the young, we are creating a well-informed generation that will contribute to the meaningful development of society,” he added.
