TAWAU: The tradition of pantun, which was once a common form of communication, particularly among the Malay community, can foster creativity and literary skills in the younger generation.
Kukusan Assemblywoman Rina Jainal said pantun, used as a figurative language among the older generation, served to provide advice, entertainment, or constructive criticism.
“Pantun has its uniqueness because the delivery of a message is gentler and polite,” she said after officiating the District Level Primary School Pantun Festival Competition at SK Bandar Tawau II, here, Wednesday.
