Some 150 Sikh students from Perak took part in online quiz and public speaking in conjunction with the Merdeka Day, taking home cash prizes.
The competitions were organised by the Integration Unit (Sikh Community) under the Perak Menteri Besar’s Office and supported by the Khalsa Diwan Malaysia (KDM).
Students at state-wide Punjabi Education Centres (PECs) were encouraged to take part in the events which offered attractive cash prizes.
The winners received their prizes via the novel idea of a drive-through prize giving ceremony on 5 September 2021 at the KDM headquarters in Ipoh.
“This a wonderful gesture for Sikh students connected to the Merdeka celebration. This was a good event,” a Perak-based Sikh organisation office bearer told Asia Samachar.
