Persatuan Bahasa Cina

Perayaan Musim Bunga atau Tahun Baru Lunar adalah
satu perayaan utama masyarakat Cina di Malaysia dan
di seluruh dunia.

Sempena perayaan Tahun Baru Cina, Persatuan

Bahasa Cina memperkenalkan 2 jenis tumbuh-
tumbuhan yang istimewa dalam tradisi kebudayaan
Cina iaitu Bunga
Plum dan Bambu.




Bamboo's long life makes it a Chinese symbol of longevity.

It is an example of the harmony between nature and human being.

Chinese ancients designated the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum as "four gentlemen," and pine, bamboo and plum as the "three friends in winter."

People think its deep root denotes resoluteness, its tall, straight stem represents honorability, its hollow interior modesty and its clean and spartan exterior exemplifies chastity.

Ancient Chinese literati held bamboo in profound esteem. This explains why there are so many writings and paintings dedicated to it throughout history.



The plum plant is known by a number of different names , including Japanese apricot, Japanese plum and Chinese plum.

One of the most beloved flowers in China, the plum blossoms have been frequently depicted in Chinese art and poetry for centuries.

The Chinese sees its blossoms as both as a symbol of winter as well as a harbinger of spring. It is precisely for this reason that the blossoms are so beloved, as they bloom most vibrantly amidst the winter snow, after most other plants have shed their leaves, and before other flowers appear.

The Chinese plums are seen as an example of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

Muhyiddin: History curriculum unchanged until 2017


The History curriculum for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) will remain unchanged until 2017. That is because students who will use the new curriculum from Form One in 2014 will only sit for the SPM in 2018.

Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin told Dewan Negara yesterday: “The new curriculum starts for Form One students in 2014 and they will become the first batch of students to sit for the exam under the new curriculum in 2018.

“The move is to give the ministry time to allow teachers to adjust to the new curriculum.”

He added that the ministry would also set up a committee to study the new History curriculum and textbooks to ensure a comprehensive coverage of history.

In October, the Government announced that apart from Bahasa Malaysia, History would also be a must-pass subject for SPM, starting 2013.
