“By utilizing the English-Malay dictionaries, we would like to complement the school’s
efforts to further improve the students’ proficiency in the English language and to
expose the primary students at the young age. English has become an important
international medium in our globalized world. Mastering the language will give us an
added advantage especially when ones were to communicate overseas.” she said.
Datin Mariam also added the importance to master English language at young age as it
opened for a diverse spectrum to further study as well as a stepping stone in career
path not only limited in domestic but also internationally.
She said this when officiating the handing over of the dictionaries and the closing of
