Top honours for young essayists

Well-deserved: Goh (standing, second from right) and Yung Wey (front row, second from right) posing for a group photo with other winners, and Taylor’s College campus director Josephine Tan (centre) and ESU Malaysia chairman Tunku Dara Tunku Tan Sri Naquiah Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar (third from right).

LITERACY can take one far in life – that is the abiding belief of both Goh Li Lian and Chin Yung Wey.

So, when they chanced upon a national literacy-themed essay writing competition, they knew they had to put their thoughts down in words.
