2011 will be a memorable year for 2 students of the Senior Methodist Girls School Kuala Lumpur (MGSKL).  Low Yee Mun and Manpreet Kaur, both prefects in their school have been selected to represent Malaysia to the 8th International Pierre de Coubertin Committee (CIPC) Youth Forum that will be held in Beijing, China from August 13th - 21st.

This is the very first time that Malaysia will be represented in the CIPC Youth Forum which will be participated by 23 countries from 5 continents. 

Yee Mun and Manpreet who were selected through an essay competition followed by an individual interview session were extremely excited when they were told that they had been chosen.  The essay competition was only held for students of MGSKL as they were the only school that had gone through the Olympism Outreach Program conducted by the Pierre de Coubertin Society of Malaysia (PCSM) at the end of last year.

Yee Mun who is a Form 5 student is active in drama and choral speaking and has represented her school in various competitions around Kuala Lumpur.
