ALAM, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- Campaign
#HearMe HearMe and 'Teddy Bear Hospital Programme', are among
the main attractions at the Malaysia Islamic Children's Fair (MICF), which
is scheduled to last for three days starting from Nov 27 at the Shah Alam
Convention Centre (SACC) here.
Zurriyat
Ventures Sdn Bhd managing director who is also the chairman of MICF,
Dayang Lily Maznah Abang Muas, said the programme in its third year, was
expected to draw up to 50,000 visitors.
HearMe
#HearMe campaign aims to encourage children to present their opinions on any
issue to adults so that adults can provide feedback on the issue.
"Usually
we only hear adults giving opinions but this time we will make a difference
and give the children a chance to express their opinions and aspirations.
"More
interesting, the interview session and video recording will be done by children
as well and the interview will be shared using the hashtag #HearMe HearMe, MICF
is not just an exhibition but also a platform to produce children who will
become future leaders," she told reporters here today.
Lily
Maznah said children who visit the MICF can also participate in learning
activities through the 'Teddy Bear Hospital Programme' under the supervision
of the Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia Children and Teens Super Team
(IMACAT).
She
said the programme allows children to bring their dolls for a basic health
screening.
"The
programme themed 'Learn About Health the Fun Way!' inspires to promote proactive
participation of health sector workers like medical students and doctors
to promote a healthy lifestyle among children as well as exposing the children
so that they are not afraid to go to hospital for treatment," she said.
According
to Lily Maznah, MICF this year for the first time will introduce 'Anugerah
Tunas Selangor' which will be presented to competent children
in conjunction with Selangor Children's Day. MICF also provides
various competitions to foster the family spirit.
