“Extra-curricular activities such as piano lesson or singing classes or even dancing classes, do your children really like those?
“Have you tried exploring your children’s creative mind? Drawing lesson or handcraft can help a child’s thinking skills,” he said at the launching ceremony of Stamax Hobby Event 2019 at Hakka Hall.
Also present were Sandakan MP Vivian Wong and Elopura Assemblyman Calvin Chong.
