From Penang to the World: A Journey of Gratitude 🌏✨
https://youtu.be/0ULxBhkSx9E?si=Zi2mPdVS3LYd-qiQ

For me, what started as a humble vision with mathz4kidz in Penang has now blossomed into an incredible international journey.

It is a profound honor to step beyond our borders and be invited to participate in the historic 125th Anniversary of Pahoa School (Sekolah Pahoa)—the first modern overseas Chinese school in the world.

To witness the ACT Framework (Attitude, Communication, and Thinking)—originally crafted by Dr. Yeap Ban Har for mathz4kidz—taking root and driving the educational transformation at Pahoa is truly humbling. Seeing this framework evolve from our early local days into a core academic engine that prepares students for world-class excellence is beyond my wildest dreams.

Thank you to Ibu Cipto, the Pahoa board, Dr. Yeap, Bro Jishou and everyone who trusted me on this path. Here’s to continuing our mission of empowering the next generation—from our roots in Penang to the global stage! 🚀

We are excited to announce that the Twist KenKen Preliminary Round for China will be held on 10/4/2026 🎉

Eligible participants from China will earn the chance to advance to the International Twist KenKen Final Round and the Grand Final Round on 23/5/2026 in Malaysia 🇨🇳➡️🇲🇾

This is more than a competition. It is a gateway to the international stage, where talented young puzzlers will meet, compete, and challenge participants from other countries in a thrilling battle of logic, speed, and strategy 🧩🔥

This event is organized by Mathition, University Malaya Mathematical Association, Mathz4kidz, and SMK Bukit Jambul.

Co-organized by Fuzhou Zhilian Sudoku Sports Research Institute (China), SRJK(C) Han Chiang, Penang (Malaysia), and Sekolah Terpadu Pahoa (Indonesia).

To all participants in China: get ready to give your best, rise to the challenge, and show your strength on the road to Malaysia. Let’s see who will shine among the best from around the world! 🌍✨

在2025年肯肯数独（顺昌）公开赛刚落幕，马来西亚代表队勇夺团体赛亚军及个人赛季军，为国争光，展现大马在国际数独领域的竞争实力后，2026年马来西亚精英选拔挑战赛（Malaysia Elite Selection Challenge，简称MESC）将正式启动，向全国征选具备卓越数学与逻辑思维能力的选手。

马来西亚肯肯数独代表队领队吉米周四召开记者会时指出，入选者将接受为期5至6个月、共约30小时的系统化培训，为征战2026年肯肯数独世界锦标赛（KenKen World Championship）作好准备，与全球顶尖高手同台竞技。

他说，国际肯肯数独联盟将提供培训框架，汇聚经验丰富的教练团队，重点提升参赛者的解题速度、策略思维及心理素质。

他强调，课程采取分层教学模式，每周设置专题课程，涵盖多种肯肯题型，并配合实战演练与阶段性评测，帮助选手循序渐进地提升实战能力。

他表示，选拔过程将秉持公开、公正原则，参赛者须通过两场线上选拔赛综合评定成绩；若分数相同，将以总用时更短者优先。报名对象涵盖7至60岁群体，要求具备良好的逻辑推理与数学基础，同时具备抗压与团队合作能力。

他透露，线上选拔赛为2026年1月27日与28日，时间为晚上8时至10时（DeepLearn平台），集训期为2026年2月至6月（共约30小时，按周进行），出征期为2026年6月至7月，组建国家代表队出战世界锦标赛。

有意报名者可通过赛事海报获取报名入口与联系方式，以及报名，用8周夯实基础、16周形成优势，于7月代表马来西亚登上国际舞台。

吉米：大马队夺团体赛亚军及个人季军

另外，吉米指出，刚落幕的2025年肯肯数独（顺昌）公开赛，马来西亚代表队从英国、日本、中国及本地的435名顶尖选手中脱颖而出，勇夺团体赛亚军及个人赛季军。

他说，这次的赛会群星荟萃，包括最年长的日本选手田洋一（60岁）、中国《最强大脑》第四季选手胡宇轩，以及中国女排奥运冠军侯玉珠，她亦亲临开闭幕仪式为赛事助阵。

他透露，团体赛决赛上，马来西亚队（许以诚、张旭、赖章程）迎战中国“铁三角”代表队（郑泽轩、黎梓桐、叶家祎），比赛过程紧张刺激，双方多次领先交替，最终阶段，马来西亚选手许以诚在关键时刻成功追平并率先完成题目，全场欢声雷动。

然而，他说，裁判赛后确认最后一题中数字“6”误填为“4”，马来西亚队遗憾屈居亚军。

他透露，在个人赛部分，马来西亚选手延续强劲表现。许以诚在三局比赛中表现稳定，第二局更领先中国选手胡宇轩率先完赛。第二日的半决赛节奏更为紧凑，多名选手在40秒内完成题目。最终，赖章程成功晋级决赛并荣获季军，为马来西亚再添荣耀。

他强调，马来西亚肯肯数独代表队将继续积极备战2026年世界锦标赛，力争突破自我，再创辉煌
