Worthwhile trip for colouring champ Alini


One for the album: Alini and her parents posing with her prize and winning art work at the Kuntum-Dutch Lady colouring contest in Kuantan.

KUANTAN: A schoolgirl's seven-hour car trip from Pasir Gudang, Johor to Kuantan just to take part in a colouring contest paid off when she won first prize.

Seven-year-old Alini Balqis Azizul had earlier missed a chance to take part in the contest organised by the popular children's education magazine Kuntum and Dutch Lady when it stopped by her hometown in Johor, so she and her mother decided to travel to Kuantan to make up for it.
