Kembara Nusantara 2026

Kembara Nusantara 2026 is a Malay-language programme for preschool children jointly organised by two named organisations: the Malay Language Learning and Promotion Committee (MLLPC) and Mandai Wildlife Group. Its purpose is to make Malay a living language for preschoolers through engaging learning experiences, including activities and a learning journey to Singapore Zoo (MLLPC, Kembara Nusantara 2026, updated 12 February 2026, accessed 30 August 2026). It is a language-learning programme, not a general zoo admission package or a compulsory national preschool curriculum.

Educator and parent roles

Kembara Nusantara is designed to equip Malay-language preschool educators with relevant knowledge to conduct programme activities and the zoo learning journey. It also provides opportunities for parents to interact with their children using Malay (MLLPC, Kembara Nusantara 2026, updated 12 February 2026). The programme therefore works through educators and families as well as children; the public page does not establish that every preschool, child or parent is automatically enrolled.

Place in MLLPC language promotion

MLLPC presents Kembara Nusantara as part of its efforts to promote Malay as a living language beyond formal lesson time. The programme uses an authentic outdoor setting and family interaction to connect language learning with exploration and shared experience (MLLPC, Kembara Nusantara 2026, updated 12 February 2026). It complements MLLPC’s other signature programmes and funding routes, but the public guidance does not state a universal fee, participant capacity, learning-outcome score or automatic funding entitlement.

Application and interpretation

The MLLPC page provides a To Register route and directs interested parties to contact the committee for further information; it also says applications should follow the programme’s banner and QR code. Because the published page is a programme overview rather than a full eligibility or fee schedule, details such as participating-centre requirements, dates, places and operational arrangements should be checked with MLLPC before describing a preschool as confirmed or a child as registered (MLLPC, Kembara Nusantara 2026, updated 12 February 2026, accessed 30 August 2026).
