An idol is like a hero; someone that you greatly admire. Your idol could be a celebrity you admire – singer Lisa from South Korean girl band Black Pink, or Malaysian squash champion Datuk Nicol David. It could even be a fictional character like superhero Spider-Man, Disney princess Mulan or someone you know like a family member, a friend or a teacher And for many of our readers, their heroes are the frontliners keeping us safe during the pandemic.
An idol’s actions and life define who they are to you. You could learn from the good deeds your idols do and apply those lessons to your life. An idol is someone who inspires you to grow and improve, and who also learns from their own mistakes.

Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22 to increase awareness about problems facing our environment.
This year’s theme is Restore Our Earth, which focuses on green technologies, and innovative thinking to restore the world’s ecosystems.
We must all do our part to care for Mother Earth. We can start with the 3Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle. Small things matter, such as using a recycling bag when shopping, turning off the lights when not in use, taking shorter showers or turning off the tap when you are brushing your teeth.

Do you know what day it is on Sunday? It’s Easter, one of the most important celebrations for Christians.
One of the most popular symbols during Easter Sunday is the Easter bunny.
Some believe that the Easter bunny was introduced by German immigrants to America during the 13th century.
While the origins of the tradition remain unclear, the rabbit is believed to be a symbol of fertility and new life.
Decorating Easter eggs and going on egg hunts are some of the popular traditions during Easter.
