Education Information - Preschool
My formal education starts at preschool, which is not compulsory in Malaysia, but most parents will send their kids for preschool education. In 2001, I went for preschool education at the age of 4 years old in a kindergarten: Tadika GBBM Sungai Lalang, Kedah (吉打州双溪拉兰青团运幼儿园) which uses Chinese (Mandarin) as the teaching language. This is because I need to enter Chinese medium preschool to be eligible for Chinese medium primary school. At there, I learnt my second language, Chinese, after been using my native language, Malay at all time before preschool. I also get a Chinese name, Xi Daya (希达雅).
- Malay (国语 as it is national language of Malaysia)

- Mathematics (数学)
- Science (科学)
- Moral Education (道德)
The subjects I learnt in preschool are:
The kindergarten was situated nearby the police station when I attended it, but since they move around quite a lot, I can't give the exact location. The last time when my young brother attends the kindergarten, it was situated in the neighbourhood of Taman Desa Aman 2 instead, and that place seems to be vacant when I revisit, probably they're moving again.
