On 18 August 2011, the ECCE Council was launched by our Deputy Prime Minister, Yang Amat Berhormat Tan Sri Dato Muhyiddin Yassin. With this, a new chapter begins in Malaysian ECCE history. I am honoured to be part of the event, and I am pleased that a good number of SEGi students were present either as guests or helping out with the ushering and stage duties.
The event held at SSM Auditorium on a Thursday morning was well attended by many ECCE figures and government officials. The event was also well covered by the dailies, both in print and online. It is encouraging to see the growing support for the industry. With the formation of the Council, we can look forward to greater professionalism in the industry.
