A KINDERGARTEN in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, entered the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR) after its pupils and staff created a giant replica of the Jalur Gemilang using egg trays, Harian Metro reported.
The 23m x 8.5m Jalur Gemilang took about three weeks to complete.
Tadika Mega Genius principal R. Mohanambal said a total of 2,128 egg trays were used, which were donated by the families of the pupils, while the staff provided materials for colouring.
He added 86 students, aided by teachers and parents, helped to colour the egg trays.

MBOR office manager Lee Pooi Leng presented the certificate to the school, which was witnessed by Kemelah state assemblyman N. Saraswati.
