PUTRAJAYA: As the new school year begins, Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik is advising SK Putrajaya Presint 14 (1) pupils to be hardworking. Dr Maszlee advised parents to inculcate the habit of reading in their children by asking them what they had read when they returned from school. Mohd Izlan Mohd Ilias’s seven-year-old daughter, Nur Izzah, was so excited about the first day of school that she woke up at 6am on her own and got dressed on her own. “She is really looking forward to starting school,” said Mohd Izlan, 36, who has three children. Guided by the examples set by her older two sisters, Eugene said, his youngest daughter should do fine in school.
