MALAYSIAN LEGEND
What is Legend? Legend is a story from ancient
times about places or events that may or may not be true. This legends is about
‘HANG TUAH’.
Hang Tuah
Bin Mahmud , as known as Hang Tuah person who everyone respect the
most. We are pleased to tell the story about this towering Malay who had
shaped the history of the Melaka Sultanate and became the source of
inspiration to thousands of people.
Hang
Tuah was a humble Malay young guy. An ‘Orang Laut’ to be exact. Son
of Hang Mahmud and his mother's Dang Merdu Wati. Born in Bentan, his family
migrated to Sungai Duyung, Melacca when Hang Tuah was still a
toddler. He had lived through the reigns of 6 Sultans – Sultan
Muhammad Shah, Raja Ibrahim, Sultan Muzaffar Shah, Sultan Mansur Shah, Sultan
Alauddin Riayat Shah and died during the reign of Sultan Mahmud Shah. He was born in the mid 1430′s. During his
childhood Hang Tuah has four very close friends. They are Hang Jebat,
Hang Lekir, Hang Lekiu and Hang Kasturi. Hang Jebat’s sister had just
married Bentara Hamzah Datuk Bongkok. Hamzah was recently appointed as
Bentara in the new Sultan’s court.Through the advice of Hamzah, this five
loyalty friends to went to Gunung Ledang to learn martial arts from his former
mentor, Sang Adiputra. They stayed there for 2 years. Their master, Sang
Adiputra said that Hang Jebat would have been a greater warrior
than Hang Tuah but his own recklessness will be his downfall.
Hang Jebat was clearly a stronger warrior than Hang Tuah. But
he was impatient at times and where Hang Tuah lack in strength,
he made it up with tremendous agility and cunning. Thus, a stronger warrior
does not mean a better one. That's why their master have been
appointed Hang Tuah has a leader among others. Sang
Adiputra told Hang Jebat to listen to Hang Tuah and never
doubt his actions. To Hang Tuah, he advised him to be sincere and serve
Melacca as he sees fit. Above all, he wanted all of us to take good care of each
other.
The keris owned by Hang Tuah was called Taming Sari. It was special
in that it was made of twenty types of iron - supposedly metal left over from
the forging of the bolts of the Ka'aba. It was said that Taming Sari could do
Hang Tuah's fighting for him - if Hang Tuah were menaced or in any way
endangered, the keris would leap out of its sheath all by itself, fly through
the air and attack the assailant, moving in the air whichever way the assailant
dodged or turned, until it hit its mark. The whole of the 'sampir' and 'batang'
are covered in gold leaf, making it a 'keris gabus' or 'keris terapang'. It
still exists today and is part of the regalia of DYMM Sultan Azlan Shah, Sultan
Perak Darul Ridzuan
FAMILY DAY
What
can we do in Family Day? We can play some games likes three-legged race, sack
race and tug of war.
PARENTS” Its such a beautiful and Caring word. Every Person is
lucky to have Loving and Caring Parents. Parents are very important in our
life. The most important, Secure and solid pillar of our life. They teach and
influence us to do right things, to go right path and many more things. In our
life, our parents seems to be like a god for us. They fulfill our all needs and
willing. They are with us and support us in any phrase of life. They sacrifices
so many things for us , why they do this ? Because they love us so much. Parents
always know that their children better than anyone else. But some of the people
never understand the importance of parents in their life.
There’s an old saying that
goes: families that play together, stay together. We all know that quality time
with our family is paramount in building stronger relationships. Building
forts, sharing stories, and just being together makes a difference in all of
your lives. Family time builds confidence, teaches children about interacting
with others, and create wonderful memories that last a lifetime. The following
are the top three benefits of family time:
First and foremost is
the bonding itself. Spending time together helps to form lasting
connections between family members. If you can’t be with them for hours upon
hours, attempt to make the most of your time when you are together. This
includes putting down your phone and stepping away from the computer.
Secondarily, studies show that when families spend quality time together, the
chance of children getting involved in dangerous activities drop dramatically.
Kids who play with their families usually get better grades. Step that up a few
notches by incorporating educational games into fort building with lessons such
as architecture, math, and art. Simply spending time as a family can help them
experience better emotional well-being and even reach for higher levels of
education.
Third, when families take
the time to participate in meaningful activities together, behavioral problems
decrease. Children are less likely to act out, particularly in a violent
manner. For example, when you all build a fort together, you are working toward
a common goal. Everyone has a plan and teamwork brings it to life. Kids learn
the benefits of being part of a team and making a dream happen!
BENEFITS OF COMIC BOOKS
For
years, it has been a misconception that comic books cannot help children
improve reading skills. Because comics are mostly pictures and graphics, people
think that it doesn’t equate to reading at all. However, recent studies show
that there are benefits in reading comic books and graphic novels.
Inferencing
is to read between the lines of a given text. It helps in improving
comprehension. Comic books help children understand a concept better because
contexts can be visualized. A wall of words doesn’t provide the same kind of
luxury as that of a comic book.
One reason why comic books are good for
learning is because it increases vocabulary. Comics solidify a meaning of a
word because pictures support meaning to words. With inference, faster learning
of concepts gives more time to learn other words as well.
Pictures are useful in telling stories, but
what is not seen in the picture is what develops a child’s imagination. Also,
most graphic artists today grew up reading comic books. We won’t know if your
child has an interest in comic book art or drawing if you don’t introduce them
to comics.
Comic books have the same elements as other
narratives—characters, plot with conflict and resolution, setting, symbolism,
theme, point of view, and others. DC comic books, for example, have
interconnected storylines and parallel worlds that if you try to read about
them all, your head will explode. On the other hand, Marvel comic books give
more emphasis on character development of each superhero.
Also, some comics today are based on actual prose novels.
Knowing how curious kids can be, this could lead them to read the actual novels
to get more content.
Comic
books are easily taken as unhelpful for kids because of the fanciness and the
colors. What most people don’t see is that comic books also teach positive
messages, like helping others, doing one’s best, working as a team, and
persevering. For example, Batman encourages normal people to be heroes in their
own pace. Superman reminds us that there is always a way to overcome weakness.
Daredevil proves that disability is not a hindrance to life. Spiderman gives
motivation to those who felt grief.
