Understanding our neighbour

The Humanities Department organised a study tour for our Sec 5 Normal Academic students to provide a deeper understanding of culture of our closest neighbour Malaysia.

They first visited a rural area in South Johore where they learnt about the farming system. Here, the guide was explaining the process of growing pineapple.

A local villager was kind enough to show the student how to play a local instrument.

The guide showed the students the various product that can be made from oil palm.

Students trying their hand on spinning tops.

They visited Malaysia in a historical moment when there was going to be a national election the next day.Some of the students stayed up to watch the election news.

The next day, the students visited St Paul hill. Here they took the opportunity to do a survey, asking tourist the reason for visiting Malacca.


It was an enriching experience as students were given a chance to practise their oral communication skills as well as the chance to speak to visitors from various countries.
