Project Purpose

The amount of younger generations of Malaysian-Chinese(Cantonese) able to conserve dialect is decreasing. To enable them to preserve their own home dialect, this project is to create an environment for them to learn it.

Problems:

1. Parents choose to communicate in Chinese(Mandarin) or English with their children.

2. The school is disallowing the students to communicate dialect in the school compound.
