Our students blew us away today as teams showcased their one-of-a-kind inventions during the Closing Ceremony of the FS4A Program — and the official launch of Team M.A.C.D (Murid AI Celik Digital)! 🚀💡

From concept to creation, each group presented prototypes that showed creativity, teamwork, and real problem-solving skills. Proud doesn’t even begin to describe it!

We’re honoured not only to run the school’s tech programs… but also to have our very own Jimmy Chong invited as one of the judges for this exciting challenge. 🙌

Here’s to empowering young innovators and building the next generation of AI-ready, tech-confident students! 🔧🤖✨

In a world that often feels loud, rushed, and uncertain, watching a child fully absorbed in creating something — no matter how simple — feels like a quiet kind of hope.

When a child builds, paints, or experiments, they’re not just keeping busy. They’re practicing focus in an age of distraction. They’re learning patience when the world rewards instant results. And they’re discovering that curiosity — not perfection — is what keeps life meaningful.

We talk a lot about preparing children for the future, but maybe what they really need is space to create in the present.

Because creativity builds more than art — it builds problem solvers, innovators, and emotionally resilient humans who can navigate a world that doesn’t always make sense.

So, when we see a child deeply engaged — head tilted, eyes bright, hands covered in color — that’s not just play.

That’s a glimpse of the kind of world we could have if we all stayed a little more curious, a little more kind, and a lot more human.

Does early exposure to devices cause ADHD—or is it a myth?

ADHD is indeed a common, brain-based developmental disorder. The “symptoms” are such as persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with a person’s daily functions. For long these characteristics in kids as “kids being kids”. But recently many have taken notice and researchers have released reports studying these behaviors.

In the US, ADHD diagnoses have surged by 42% in the last 8 years. Some say it’s better awareness; others point fingers at screens.

China’s researchers found links between heavy device use and sleep problems, short attention spans, and impulsive behavior. Meanwhile, Sweden’s studies found no direct link—only that excessive screen time worsens symptoms in children already prone to ADHD.

Malaysia isn’t immune either. Teachers and child psychologists here are reporting more kids who “can’t sit still,” “get bored easily,” or “lose focus fast.” Is that ADHD—or just the byproduct of growing up on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, where dopamine hits arrive every 10 seconds?

Even Hollywood has started making their scenes in films in short bursts of high octane sequences to keep the younger audiences engaged.

We’re living in an experiment no generation has faced before: toddlers swiping screens before they can write their own names. The science is still unfolding, but the debate is urgent.

What do you think—are devices creating ADHD in kids, or are we mislabeling a new kind of attention span?

Give your kid an iPad even if they are 5 years old..

In 2010, Steve Jobs shocked the world by saying he didn’t let his kids use iPads.

Fast forward to 2024: 68% of American children under 8 own a tablet. In Malaysia, it’s become normal to see toddlers swiping through YouTube before they can even read.

But countries approach this very differently. In Finland—famous for its world-class education—teachers integrate iPads into classrooms as creative tools. Kids aren’t just watching cartoons; they’re building stories, making animations, and learning coding basics.

Meanwhile, in China, the government took the opposite route. Kids under 18 are legally restricted to just 2 hours of gaming per week, citing addiction and declining attention spans.

Parents are left stuck in the middle: do we delay device exposure for as long as possible, or lean in and guide how children use them?

Because maybe the real question isn’t whether an iPad at 5 is “good or bad”—but whether parents can turn it from a toy into a tool.

As parents, sometimes it's better to go with the flow and take advantage of it rather than running away from it. Eventually devices will find them, why not teach them to use it the right way?

Does it still make sense to have a child?

In Japan, the government is sounding alarms: the fertility rate has dropped so low that by 2070, their population could shrink by 30%.

Schools are closing, playgrounds are empty. Even entire rural towns risk disappearing due to migration & lack of childbirth.

South Korea is facing something even bleaker—its fertility rate sits at 0.72, the lowest in the world. In Seoul, many young couples admit they’d rather stay childfree than spend their lives paying off a small apartment.

And it isn’t just Asia. In the US, millennials and Gen Z are questioning if it’s even ethical to bring kids into a world burdened by climate change, inflation, and unstable economies.

Here in Malaysia, we’re quietly heading in the same direction. Our fertility rate has dipped below replacement level. The rising costs of childcare, school fees, and housing weigh heavily on young families.

So here’s the uncomfortable question: is having a child in 2025 a gift to the future—or a gamble with it? Is letting your offsprings fend for themselves in this increasingly destructive world worth it if it means expanding your lineage?

Some say children are the only real hope to rebuild societies, economies, and even a sense of meaning. Others believe bringing kids into a world this uncertain is selfish or naive.

What do you think—should we be hopeful about raising kids in this generation, or cautious about adding to a future we can’t control?
