Do you have the guts to stand up in front of a crowd to present a story? If it is not your style to tell tales publicly, you should have seen Malaysia’s finest taletellers at the Suria KLCC Storytelling competition this year on 14 September 2003. In a delightful display of wit, charm and creativity, 15 finalists of the Suria KLCC Storytelling Competition captivated the audience with their expressive, colourful and interesting rendition of their favourite story books. The 15 young participants came fully prepared and decked in costumes that were adapted from the characters of their stories. It was a morning of sheer fun and a thrilling display of creativity as they mimicked characters from their stories, ranging from a meek little mouse, a chirpy sparrow to a young prince. The Suria KLCC Storytelling Competition, which is now in its fourth edition, has become a popular annual event for children and an entertaining activity for families and friends. This year’s competition was held on a much wider scale with the involvement of British Council and the endorsement from the Ministry of Education. Capturing the attention of the audience and impressing the panel of judges included 8-year-old Harrish Kunasegaran, the 1st prize winner, 9-year-old Nik Adruce Nik Adelin, the 2nd prize winner and 10-year-old Ian Loo Han Rong, the 3rd prize winner.
