National Day Celebration Highlights

SMK Bandar Putra held a National Day celebration at Kulai Stadium on August 31st. The celebration began with a march by the school band in red uniforms. Cultural dances and songs representing Malaysia's ethnic groups were performed. The celebration ended with rhythmic gymnastics performances, though some audience members felt the gymnast attire was too revealing, leading the committee to instruct female gymnasts to wear leotards for the remainder. The Education District Officer who gave the closing speech was impressed and promised to allocate funds to the sports department. Overall, the celebration was deemed a success.
