Directors and Chair of the 105th Anniversary
Charity Sale. He fondly recalled the “Centenary
Charity Sale” held in 2019 and highlighted the
significance of this year’s event, marking the
“105th Anniversary Charity Sale”. He noted
the substantial progress of the Co-Curriculum
Activities Centre, which is set to be completed
by the end of this year, representing the largest
construction project in the school’s history.
However, he pointed out that the project still
requires RM8 million in funding. To address this
shortfall, the school is hosting this charity sale
as part of its 105th anniversary celebrations to
help raise the necessary funds.

Deputy Minister of Education Malaysia,
Yang Berhormat (YB) Wong Kah Woh, also
spoke at the event, noting that while he has
attended many school charity sales and events,
this was the first time he had seen a school event
of such scale that it congested the entire road
leading to the school entrance. He encouraged
everyone to stay persistent in promoting
Chinese language education. He expressed
his hope that the country's economy, culture,
and education will thrive together under a
diverse government, guiding Malaysia towards
a brighter future. Additionally, he announced
that the government would allocate RM20,000
to support this CHKL School Carnival and
concluded his speech by extending his heartfelt
thanks to all supporters, wishing the day’s event
a great success.

After the speeches, the audience
witnessed the sounding of the gongs by YB
Wong Kah Woh, Tan Sri Lim and CHKL Board
of Directors, which symbolised the official
opening of CHKL School Carnival 2024. As
the last echoes of the gongs ended, the 24-
season drum performance started. Then, our
cheerleading team and the Society for Creative
Mind and Body took centre stage with their
vibrant performance entitled “Dazzling Youth
Dance.” The performance was a dazzling
display of youthful energy and exuberance.
Their dynamic routine not only showcased their
impressive talent but also propelled the event’s
atmosphere to a thrilling crescendo.
