The Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) organized the 2nd Japanese Composition Speech Contest on May 28th at the Islamic Science University of Malaysia. The event was honored by the presence of Mr. Isao Iijima, Special Advisor to the Cabinet, and Mr. Tatsuya Kitaoka, Director-General of the Public Diplomacy Department at the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia. The contest was co-hosted by Fukuyama City University, the Islamic Science University of Malaysia, and the Malaysia Japanese Language Instructors Society with a special sponsorship from Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (President: Shigehiro Komaru).
Under the theme "transportation," 15 participants delivered speeches to raise traffic safety awareness in Malaysia. Ms. Aleeya Natasha Binti Ahmad Shaberi from MARA University of Technology won the grand prize for her speech on transportation as a path that connects hearts. Through a Japanese Composition Speech Contest, we will continue to raise traffic safety awareness, further deepen mutual understanding between Japan and Malaysia, and strengthen friendly relations between the two countries.
The Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013, to promote traffic safety and prevent accidents. The foundation conducts various traffic safety lectures in schools throughout Japan and engages in educational activities to promote road safety. Additionally, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students studying Japanese overseas to present the results of their studies. They also organize Japanese composition speech contests to raise traffic safety awareness and encourage cultural exchange with Japan.
