MIRI (July 26): Children are the hope of our future, and quality early education is where that hope begins, said Miri Mayor Adam Yii. The Pujut assemblyman shared this during his opening remarks at Tadika Krokop's annual colouring competition prize-giving ceremony this morning, commending the kindergarten for nurturing creativity at an early age. 'Through activities like this, children build essential foundations for learning. 'Their focus, coordination and ability to express themselves all start here,' he said, noting Miri City Council's commitment to supporting early childhood education. Meanwhile, Tadika Krokop director Chin Paw Fah, in her speech, shared that the competition is held each year to encourage the holistic development of children while nurturing their appreciation for colour and creativity. 'For such young children, colours are not just a visual delight but a vital way of understanding the world around them and expressing their emotions,' she said. She also noted that the act of colouring helps children develop focus, patience, and hand-eye coordination, while also giving them a safe outlet for self-expression. 'Each finished piece reflects a child's hard work and imagination which are things worth celebrating with enthusiasm and pride,' she added. Board chairman Gilbert Chin also applauded the children's creativity and said their colourful drawings offered a glimpse into their unique ways of seeing the world. 'Each picture tells a story,' he said, adding that the event helped foster important skills such as persistence, fine motor control, and artistic confidence. He also took the opportunity to thank the school's teachers for their patience and guidance, and parents for being strong pillars of support in their children's journey. Gilbert extended his gratitude to Yii for assisting with recent improvement works at the kindergarten, particularly the replacement of old wooden floorboards with new tiles. Yii also took time to view the upgraded classrooms during his walkabout at the school. Afam Yii early education Tadika Krokop
