Doing well: The ‘Upin & Ipin’ series has been recognised as a Malaysian success story in animation by many people.
TODAY, I would like to pay tribute to the creators of Upin and Ipin and offer a small suggestion of how the cartoon series could assist in rebuilding this nation, a feat that educators, politicians and even civil society have attempted with little success so far.
Why Upin and Ipin? Well, the answer is pretty shocking and it addresses a cornerstone of education that has isolated 40 ethnic groups from each other.
