- Written by Methodist Council of Education
At the launch of Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri: Suara Wesleyan, Impian Sebuah Negara Bangsa (Letters to the Prime Minister: Voices of Wesleyans, A Nation’s Aspirations) were (L-R) Mr. Tan Ay Zing, Chairman, Board of Management, Wesley Methodist School; Puan Siti Bahijah binti Bakhtiar, Deputy Director, Services and Multilateral Relations Sector, Private Education Division, Ministry of Education Malaysia; Bishop Dr. T. Jeyakumar, Bishop of the Methodist Church in Malaysia; and Mr. Lim Kah Cheng, Director, Methodist Council of Education.
The publication was officially launched today by Bishop Dr. T. Jeyakumar, Bishop of the Methodist Church in Malaysia, and Puan Siti Bahijah binti Bakhtiar, Deputy Director, Services and Multilateral Relations Sector, Private Education Division, Ministry of Education Malaysia, bringing together voices from across the Methodist education community.
Students, educators and invited guests held up copies of Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri: Suara Wesleyan, Impian Sebuah Negara Bangsa (Letters to the Prime Minister: Voices of Wesleyans, A Nation’s Aspirations), a collection of letters and reflections from the Methodist education community.
At the heart of Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri is a simple idea: to give people a space to speak. Through their letters, contributors share their hopes for Malaysia, reflect on the society around them and imagine the kind of future they would like to see. Their thoughts touch on unity, integrity, compassion, identity and moral courage, while offering a personal glimpse into what these ideas mean to them.The event was further enriched by performances from three Wesley Methodist schools: the Wesley Methodist School Ipoh Choir, Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (Private) Choral Speaking, and Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International) Dikir Barat, bringing music, language and cultural expression into the celebration.
More than a collection of written reflections, Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri also reflects the kind of learning that happens when students are encouraged to think beyond the classroom. To question, listen, express an idea and consider how their choices affect others are all part of growing into individuals who can participate meaningfully in the world around them.
Perhaps that is what makes the voices in Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri worth hearing. They are not presented as having all the answers, but as young people learning to find their voice, understand their place and imagine what tomorrow could look like.
And in giving those voices a place to be heard, Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri reminds us that education is not only about preparing students for the future. It is also about helping them recognise that they already have a part to play in it. https://wms.edu.my/[2]
