Taiwan-bound in efforts to promote Hakka language


Visitors learning about Hakka culture during an outreach programme by the Johor Baru Hakka Association at Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, Johor Baru.

TUTORS will be sent to Taiwan to learn how to preserve the Hakka language in an effort to prevent the decline of the dialect among the younger generation.

Johor Baru Hakka Association chairman Chong Khoon Quck said the language was at risk of losing its footing in society as many families lacked the knowledge needed to speak it at home.
