The next generation needs to comprise competitive and globally-minded citizens leading a democratic and enlightened Malaysia.
ONE school I keep returning to is SMK Tunku Besar Burhanuddin, partly due to its connection with the family – Tunku Besar Burhanuddin ibni Yamtuan Antah is my great-grandfather – and partly because it is located next door to Istana Besar Seri Menanti in Negri Sembilan.
I have seen its students excel at many things, including playing constantly-improving squash, building and programming robots to help with household tasks, performing the caklempong beautifully at royal investitures and writing rather exquisite poetry.
