GEORGE TOWN: A PLATFORM for children to showcase their talent in singing and dancing in a video submission competition known as Dugrostar received 1,500 entries. The competition was organised by Danone Dumex Malaysia.
Its marketing director, Monique Suryokusumo, said the competition was to inspire children to discover their full potential.
“We want to encourage children to express themselves from an early age and to give them a head start in learning skills,”” she said at Queensbay Mall where the event was held recently.
She said children were judged based on their intelligence quotient, emotional intelligence courage, creativity and interaction with the judges.
