Kota Kinabalu: Language learning, particularly in English, is a vital “equipment” for pupils – particularly in rural districts – and should be taught for them to master as it would provide opportunities in various fields in the future.

Rotary Club of Kota Kinabalu Pearl (RCKK Pearl) President Rosie Chong said students or younger generations should be given the opportunity as well as resources to empower their abilities to use the English language.

She said such ideology would materialise not only through resilience from various parties or organisations but also by carrying out programme or campaigns that would help better expose the young ones as a step towards helping them to be proficient in the language.

“We want to encourage our beloved children to master English and open for them the vast ocean of knowledge, and the multitudes of opportunities for them in the future.
