Good Try And Good Lesson

The acting gave us a huge encouragement and provided us a good opportunity to show ourselves with the self-ability to accomplish this entertained task. During the acting session, we felt super surprised and excited since we all knew that this try to us to do the demonstration based on the relevant titles.

Perhaps, we were not the perfect group still existed many drawbacks when we were taking the acting. Nonetheless, we had already given ourselves a good try and excellent enjoyment on this acting. All of us gave ideal cooperation and spirit until we could manage and succeed the acting task perfectly.

From the recommendation from Lecturer, we all were surprised since he gave comments that even we had some weaknesses, nevertheless, we were the group that could demonstrate oursleves naturally and had a high spirit and cooperation. This is very happy and glad news to our group, this is a super encouragement to us in order we can try our best for the following activities.

What we learnt from 3days of acting?

Having three classes session to complete all the comic acting by all the groups from E31 sessions, we definitely gain a lot. Maybe this activities seems to be out from the topic of studying Ethnic relations for certain people, though it actually benefits all of us.


Firstly, we learn all the history of the past that has been the key and also the story of success in our country. This histories involves the interaction between all ethnics for example in the history of formation of Malaysia, riots during 13 may 1969 and so on. This history is the best source of keeping us to be ready and to create a peace environment in order to preserve all the success that we have gained in the past as well as to improve ourselves from the lessons learnt from the past.

Next, we get to prepare ourselves in presenting ourselves in public. Since acting requires courage as well as concentration, it helps us to build up our confident when facing others in public. Not to forget, we could express ourselves in the class. Rather than having a normal class session , we get to involve ourselves in contributing the ideas and knowledge to everyone in the class. The lesson becomes more interesting and lively with this kind of activities.



Overall, our group has benefits a lot from here. We get the fun and excitment in attending classes that we normally dont get it and we also learn many things which we always wish to by an alternative way besides reading from books and slide presentation. Thanks to all my group members for having a good time with me in acting out the comics drawn and also thanks to all my coursemate for giving us a wonderful time together. Not to forget to Mr. Ahmad who has come up with such briliant activities. May the joy and excitment continues for times to come.

Comic Drawing

Communist Intermission

Japanese Occupation

This comic drawn by Ching Wai Hoong is based on the time when Japan invaded
Tanah Melayu and How Japanese had treated the citizen here. Cruelty, unfairness, and wildness are best to describe during that time.
