Why It’s Important To Learn Kemahiran Hidup

When your toilet clogged up during the MCO and you couldn't call a plumber, do you wish that you had basic plumbing skills, along with other skills to fix, make and construct things on your own? We look at the importance of teaching children 'handcraft' and other “kemahiran hidup” (living skills), and the broader relevance of these skills in creating a self-sustaining society today.
