On
May 4, a Japanese Language Festival co-organised by the Japanese
Language Society of Malaysia, the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia, the
Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia-Japan International
Institute of Technology (MJIIT), was held at MJIIT in Kuala Lumpur.
This is part of an annual event to introduce Japanese culture to the
students studying the Japanese language and to give them an incentive
to focus more on the language including attending the Japanese Story
Reading Contest.
Some 1,600 students from all across
Malaysia participated in the Festival. Workshops such as calligraphy,
ikebana, origami and trying on the yukata were held in the marquees at
the Festival. The atmosphere at the Festival was full of excitement.
The participating students were able to deepen their interest in
Japanese culture, and at the same time, had an opportunity to perform
what they have been practicing through the coral speaking contest. It
was a superb performance.
At the closing ceremony,
Ambassador Miyagawa in his speech spoke words of encouragement to the
students studying Japanese.
