GEORGETOWN 3 APR 2011: Tuntutlah ilmu hingga ke liang lahat – Malay proverb
This popular adage rightly implies that learning is a full time job; 24 x 7, 365 days a year; until the final moment when you push up ‘bunga raya’ (in Malaysia, hibiscus flowers are more popular than the daisies) and you find either yourself tightly wrapped in a white cloth, or your relatives ceremoniously burning paper I-Pad2 and human effigies for you during Cheng Beng (All Souls’ Day).
Such learning culture must surely apply to the realm of treasure hunt, and all right-minded hunters should zealously upgrade themselves with newly-acquired knowledge. On the weekend, when most Chinese people were relatively busy attending to their dead ancestors at the cemeteries, a group of lively hunters were busy attending school in the OFMA Treasure Hunt 2011.
