Staging the Children's Theater in 1975

"Dewi Bunga" performed on the school stage by SMK Bintulu students in 1975
One of my adventures while a teacher in 1975-1980 was to stage children's theater.  I managed to stage two plays, one in Bintulu and the other in Kuching.  The Kuching play was called "Tok Belang Lapar".  Both of these plays were written in Malay.  Checkout more pictures and story of the performance of "Dewi Bunga" in Bintulu here
