Soka Senior High Schools Delegation Holds Exchanges with TSS and SISM – A Soka Schools Network of Care and Encouragement Transcending Borders

On 5 February 2026, 27 students from the Tokyo and Kansai Soka Senior High Schools in Japan, accompanied by four teachers, visited Tadika Seri Soka (TSS), where they engaged in a warm and joyful exchange with the kindergarten children.

In a special welcoming ceremony, the TSS children greeted the “big brothers and sisters” from afar with a dance and interactive performances, imbuing the venue with a warm, lively atmosphere.

In her address, TSS principal Ho Lee Choo warmly welcomed the visiting delegation and expressed her sincere appreciation. The TSS children then presented a Malaysian cultural welcoming dance, “Wau Bulan,” where their graceful movements showcased our nation’s rich multicultural heritage and spirit of hospitality.   

During the interaction session, the visitors joined the children in performing the lively dances “Baby Shark” and “Ebi and Kani” (Shrimp and Crab). The cheerful and playful activities quickly pulled everyone closer. Amid laughter and applause, participants experienced the warmth of genuine friendship and care transcending national and generational boundaries.

On 6 February, the delegation visited Soka International School Malaysia (SISM), where they welcomed the Chinese New Year together with students through traditional activities, lively performances and the festive “yee sang” toss. During their visit to Malaysia, the Soka Senior High School students also took part in an English language programme organised by Open University Malaysia.
