MALAYSIAN STUDENT WINS DUBLIN AWARD ESSAY COMPETITION
KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 (Bernama) -- Reality-based writing on 1Malaysia community life has brought Daniel Rajasingam Subramaniam the grand prize in the Dublin Literary Award Essay Competition for Young Malaysians 2011.
"The 1Malaysia concept influenced my essay. I wrote about my daily
activities within a multi-racial environment that is harmonious," said the 16-year-old student of a secondary school in the state of Selangor.
He was speaking to reporters after the competition winners were announced by Irish Ambassador to Malaysia Declan Kelly at his residence here Thursday.
As the grand prize winner, Daniel gets two tickets for a five-day trip to Dublin and a 32-inch LCD television set.
Eibhlin Lin San Ying, 15, from another secondary school in Klang, Selangor, emerged the overall prize winner in the junior category and took home Euro750 (RM3,233).
Kelly, who was the chief judge of the competition, said the organisers received about 1,000 essays.
The competition with the theme 'Teenagers Today' was open to students and divided into junior (14-15 years) and senior (16-18 years) categories.
It was organised by the Embassy of Ireland with the cooperation of the National Library and Star Publications and supported by the Education Ministry.
