By AUSTIN CAMOENS
JOHOR BARU: An interest in art and craft paid off for 10-year-old Lim Cheng Hee who came in first in Category B of the Kuntum-McDonald’s Colouring Competition.
The Standard Four pupil of SJK(C) Johor Jaya said he was happy to have won the prize as it would make his parents proud.
“My mum and dad are supportive of my interest in art and always encouraged me to take part in colouring competitions,” Cheng Hee said, adding that he had taken part in several colouring contests this year.
Cheng Hee, who walked away with RM400 for his efforts, said he would save the prize money.
