[Early Read Fiesta] The Legend of Hang Nadim

The Legend of Hang Nadim tells the tale of a brilliant young boy whose quick thinking saves the ancient kingdom of Temasek from a sudden and dangerous swordfish attack. This age-old Malay folktale not only showcases the cleverness and courage of a child, but also highlights timeless values such as critical thinking, compassion, and standing up for what is right. In this session, the story will be brought to life through engaging narration, expressive movements, and visual slides. The audience will be invited to reflect on how such values remain relevant in today’s world, especially for young children navigating their own journeys of learning and growing.

Lagenda Hang Nadim mengisahkan tentang seorang anak muda yang tajam akal sehingga dapat menyelamatkan kerajaan purba Temasek daripada serangan ikan todak. Cerita rakyat Melayu ini bukan sahaja mempamerkan kepandaian dan keberanian seorang kanak-kanak, tetapi juga menyerlahkan nilai-nilai abadi seperti pemikiran kritis, belas kasihan, dan betapa pentingnya untuk mempertahankan perkara yang betul. Sesi bercerita ini akan dihidupkan melalui penceritaan yang menarik, pergerakan ekspresif, dan slaid visual. Penonton akan dijemput untuk merenung bagaimana nilai-nilai tersebut kekal relevan dalam dunia hari ini.

This is a bilingual storytelling session conducted in English and Malay, suitable for children aged 4 and above.

This programme is part of the main fiesta programme line-up for Early Read Fiesta 2025/2026.
