“ Educators are like gardeners, the best of them are the local gardeners with the most experience, who have been living with

and nurturing the plants and being the caretaker of its ornaments. Although they are often unassuming by avoiding the gaze of people admiring the garden, yet ignoring them is indeed

ignorant heedlessness, compounded with ingratitude, while preferring others less able over them is injustice ”

Points to ponder during the break …

How much do we Muslim know about our local history?

Why here in KAMPONG GELAM we have an ISTANA (Palace) of

Malay Sultan but yet local (older) people still refer to this area as

‘Kampong Jawa’ (Javanese compound)?

Why the street names has Middle-eastern and Nusantara flavour?
