Starchild: How Malaysian children take pleasure in the things they love


Asha Deana Krishnan, 12

Today, we are diving into all the wonderful things that we deem as our favourites. Is it food, such as the delicious local delicacy which some say is our national dish – nasi lemak, with its fragrant coconut rice and spicy sambal? Or perhaps your favourite thing is celebrating all the vibrant festivals that fill our homes with joy and excitement, like Hari Raya or Deepavali?

For some of us, our favourite things might be playing traditional games like congkak or gasing, which not only test our skills but through which we can have fun with friends. Others might love exploring the lush rainforests, spotting colourful birds or playful monkeys swinging from branch to branch.
