Malaysia Encyclopedia Challenge
Malaysia Encyclopedia Challenge is an online competition where students from grades 1 to 11 participate, with questions designed to know about MALAYSIA.
The spirit of patriotism is a key pillar in strengthening national unity. It is also about appreciating our motherland in every dimension – its natural environment, heritage, cultural history and its people. With this in mind, we at Baxter Training & Consultancy plan to organise the MALAYSIA ENCYCLOPEDIA CHALLENGE 2026 at the national level.
This competition aims to encourage our young generation to get to know our homeland, Malaysia, by learning history, understanding heritage and embracing local culture. Through this competition, we hope to strengthen the spirit of patriotism within their hearts, and to raise awareness that Malaysia has its own unique strengths so that they will love our homeland and be proud of Malaysia as our country. As the saying goes, even if gold rains in a foreign land, the rain in our own country is still special in its own unique way.
Students who are qualified will be invited to compete in the Final Round for FREE (Online).
