The Chief Minister, Dato Dr Zambry gave a very touching and interesting speech. He related how as the son of an illiterate fisherman and a mom who could read a bit of Jawi managed to achieve success because of the determination of his parents and also the good work of his teachers. He was moved to tears when he related the story of the passing the teacher who taught him when he was in Standard One. He said that it was because of teachers that he was where he was. His tribute to teachers was really inspiring and touching.
