where stars are born!


This is already the second week of school visits. The Challenge Committee is visiting schools in the Klang Valley led by 3 team leaders. Team A is managed by our Producer, while Team B and C are in-charged by the Production Manager and Project Manager, respectively. To date, the committee has visited schools in PJ, Damansara, Kepong, Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Cheras, Setapak, Ampang, etc....each team is accompanied by 2 to 3 other members of the Challenge Committee. This is not something that we love doing on a regular basis, if given a choice, although it is not a dirty job neither. We love to share the concept of MY Challenge to other people and explain the mechanics of this mega competition to those who are interested.

Sometimes, I wonder whether it is, or it is not a blessing to study in government school, or should I say without having the chance to experience life in a private school, students will not be able to distinguish and compare the differences. Some of the 'Pengetua' (principal in Malay) are really not supportive of the performing arts at all. Before the team can even open our mouth, they already closed their mind. I pity the students who are studying in these schools.

Generally, the achievement of a school really depends a lot on how the Pengetua manages it and the vision/direction of the Pengetua. In some cases, the teachers should take the blame when it comes to encouraging the students to discover their talents. Due to the amount of workload, we understand that teachers will not like to be involved in other things besides the routine school work. This is so contradicting! We know something is wrong with the education system but we are all living in denial by not accepting the fact that out education system is not holistic at all! But are we doing something about it??!!

For those who are so supportive, you will be part of the small little steps to make a giant leap! One day we will be able to achieve it! Together, we will create miracles!
