Young storyteller creates record


Sad tale: Alea A 'wheelchair' was part of Alea's costume when she narrated the story of a handicapped child, bullied by her stepmother. I did it! A proud Alea shows off her framed certificate.

ALEA Yang Ni has earned a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records as the youngest person to win the National Storytelling Competition in Bahasa Malaysia organised by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP).

Aged 10 years and eight months at that time, Alea beat the other participants who were older and more experienced to emerge champion in the competition held in September 2012.
