International Sun Bear Day 2023

It's been a great success for International Sun Bear Day 2023! The big event was informally started with the pre-event activity that was held from May 13 until May 15. For the pre-event activity, we conducted a Sun Bear Challenge activity for the visitors, where they needed to complete a few tasks to win the limited edition canvas bag exclusive to International Sun Bear Day 2023.

On May 16, International Sun Bear Day 2023 was formally launched by the opening speech from BSBCC's CEO and founder, Dr. Wong Siew Te, welcoming the students and teachers invited from SJK (C) Min Chung, SK. Bambangan, and SJK (C) Yuk Choi. The event continued with the drama competition and sun bear explorace that the school's students participated in simultaneously. Not forgetting our supporters from all around the world, Dr. Wong Siew Te brought them virtually to the forest enclosure of BSBCC by sharing with them stories and personal experiences about sun bear with an emphasis on the event's theme, "Love Sun Bear, Our National Treasure" The cake-cutting ceremony for International Sun Bear Day 2023 and birthday celebration for Dr. Wong Siew Te were done shortly after the winner announcement for the Drama Competition and Sun Bear Explorace activity. It's an honour for us to celebrate our big event together with the teachers from the invited schools to celebrate Teacher's Day with us. The event wrapped up with the winner announcement for online contests in the afternoon. Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you for joining our contests.

We would like to thank SJK (C) Min Chung, SK Bambangan, and SJK (C) Yuk Choi for their participation in this event. Also to our Sun Bear Ambassadors for their hard work in helping us from the pre-event until the actual event. Not forgetting to express our gratitude to Yayasan Hasanah, the Sime Darby Foundation, and the Ministry of Finance for their great support for us. Together, we love sun bear, our national treasure!
