Another great stuff for the teaching of history

Since history subject in Malaysia's schools is taught in Bahasa Malaysia, I would be happy to see this kind of video available on the internet in Bahasa Malaysia. It is no problem for me to comprehend the information; it would be hard for most of the students to understand some terminologies and words used.

This video tells us about the famous Majapahit Empire which once dominating the Malay Archipelago. Its famous premier was Patih Gajah Mada, a strategist, conqueror, as well as a successful and respected diplomat. He was in service during the reign of Maharaja Hayam Wuruk. These names sound wierd to my Form 1 students and quite difficult for me to explain reasons on why people at that time bore that kind of names.

More information about Patih Gajah Mada and Hayam Wuruk here...


(I love the music too...)
