Kg. Kenchong, Phnom Penh

I was honoured to be invited by the school board to officiate the opening ceremony of the new School Library of the Kg Kechong Primary School. This school library was funded by the Alumni of Tun Fatimah School.

Kg Kenchong Primary School was mooted by a group of IPGKTB lecturers which include Ustaz Rafuan, Ustaz Harun, Dr. Razak and many more. The school was established in 2010 with 3 classrooms but now it has 6 classrooms.
