This would be beneficial for others, especially the younger generation to learn Jawi,” she told StarMetro.
“I am able to read Jawi fluently since I was taught by my late father, who was an avid reader of the Jawi newspaper when he was young. “It is great to see Jawi writing at the tourist spots in Kuala Kangsar, such as at the Victoria Bridge and city centre,” said the 17-year-old, who busks for a living. “We then decided to implement it slowly and started with buildings that we owned, such as the MPKK building, street signboards and the upcoming wet market.
