FRIM received the APECP Excellent Child Contributor Award 2009/2010 for Child-Friendly Eco-Education Destination from the Association of Professional Early Childhood Providers Malaysia (APECP) on 31 March 2010.

The APECP Excellent Child Contributor Awards 2009/2010 was held to honour businesses, non-profit organisations, governments (local, state and federal), educational institutions and individuals who have made significant contributions towards improving quality and providing excellent services in early childhood education, care and development in Malaysia.

Gracing the event were DYTM Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Ibni Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail, Raja Muda Perlis and DYTM Tuanku Hajjah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil, Raja Puan Muda Perlis, also Patron of APECP.

FRIM was represented by its Director General (DG), Dato’ Dr Abd Latif Mohmod, Corporate Management Head Puan Norhayati Nordin, Ecotourism and Urban Forestry Program Head Dr Noor Azlin Yahya, and several other staff.

The awards were also initiated to encourage corporate entities and individuals to continue to excel in what they have been doing.

“APECP views Early Childhood Education as a serious matter because children deserve the best we can give to them in their formative years. This is also the foundation for every child to be a useful citizen of the nation. Therefore, what we give them, whether it is a service or a product, should be of distinction and excellence,” said Dr K H Wang, Group Executive Director of Smart Reader® Worldwide and President of APECP.

Officially registered in December 2007, the association aims to enable members to use the association as a platform to share ideas, innovation and new research in the field of Early Childhood Education.
