Parents, children and teachers gathered together to celebrate Independence Day at UCSI CDC. The children were all eager to wave Jalur Gemilang and shout out Merdeka in their colourful attire. As part of the learning process, teachers explained the flag symbols, and cultures and background of people living in the country to the children. The children also listened “intently as their teacher explained to them about nasi lemak, the all-time Malaysian favourite”, as reported by The Star in its coverage of the event.
