Child Speaker

Who said children cannot perform in front of the adults? Who have thought that children is able to tell us clearly what they want and aspire for PJ? Who is confident enough to let children take the lead in a forum discussing child friendly city of Petaling Jaya? We did it on last Saturday.

The Children representatives deliberated the issues so well during the the opening remarks and followed by a presentation on the findings from the previous Forum. Even the master of ceremony has done so well. More importantly the group discussion with other stakeholders was facilitated by children.

Perhaps now we should let children have more opportunities to involve in the planning and development process rather than making decisions for them without them.
