The Kangaroo has arrived in Malaysia!

This Kangaroo :

Kangaroo Math Competition (KMC) is the world's largest mathematics contest, with participation from more than 6 million students from 49 countries in 2012 alone. The Kangaroo, also known as Le Kangourou in French, originated in France in the early 1980s, inspired by the success of a similar contest in Australia (hence, the contest is named after the famed Australian marsupial). The contest is organized by the Association Kangourou san Frontieres (AKSF), based in Paris. Malaysia joined AKSF as a member in 2012.

The KMC consists of one round of multiple choice question paper, which is given at the student's own school. This arrangement allows the maximum number of students to participate. There are no selection rounds or qualifying exam, there is only one paper to be taken by the participants. All participants in the world will write the same test simultaneously.

If you click on History of KMC, you will find this :

"..... Malaysia was unanimously elected to join the AKSF in 2012, at the annual AKSF meeting in Protaras Beach, Cyprus. Mr. Suhaimi Ramly was appointed as the country representative. Mr. Suhaimi is the coach for the national team to the International Mathematical Olympiad since 2007, and has been active with organizing many mathematics camps and competitions in the country...."

Suhaimi Ramly is my brother :)

and Nabil could answer most of the Grade 2 questions on the website :)

Why wait? REGISTER [your children / students] NOW! - Only the contact person should do the registration. Students (except those registering as individuals) should not register on their own.

Makan-makan Raya at Aidan

Last Saturday, my brother's office arranged a makan-makan Raya in their newly-renovated office. (Click here for his entry prior to the event)

We were so proud to see the newly-installed signage up there. AIDAN. The company's website > here.

And we even more prouder to see the lobby. Look how many entities they manage to establish in a few years. And the fact that they are very young. (OK, the photo is not that clear - go to the company's website if you wish to know more)

Makan time. I didnt capture a lot of photos because I was busy trying all the food. My brother is the one in green Baju Melayu, waving at the camera.

We tapau a few delicious desserts.

Note to Aidan office : Guys, you need to get a Febreeze and put charcoals in the office to get rid of the kambing golek smell afterwards ya.
