SHARING LOVE FOR ANCIENT FOLKLORE
BY YVONNE T. NATHAN 


KUALA LUMPUR : UNRAVELLING Malaysia’s noble heritage through hikayat (folklore), writer-poet Zalina Abdul Aziz, endearingly known as Ninot, shared her passion for Malaysian literature with more than 1,000 Sri KDU primary school pupils recently as part of the #SaySomethingNice campaign (#SSNC).
Zubedy (M) Sdn Bhd’s managing director and founder Anas Zubedy suggested Ninot be part of the #SSNC by doing what she does best, enchanting audiences with stories of ancient legends and folklore with ‘A Hikayat A Day’.
The Sri KDU pupils performed six hikayat scripted by Ninot, including Sang Kancil and the River Otters, Onangkiu of Gellangui and various other beautifully costumed renditions, cultivating an appreciation of Malaysia’s glorious culture in her own way.

How absolutely fantastic, Ninot! A whole page! I love it that the kids performed some of the hikayat, and that your passion is igniting others.........I am way proud to know you, kiddo. You show us what it is to care deeply about something, find a way to share it and watch it take off and soar. Such a meaningful thing you are doing.

Dear Sherry,

Thank you so much for your support right there from the beginning.

I am humbled and excited, scared and adventurous at the same time.
