Malacca. This trip is joined by 30students and 3 teachers. Malacca is known as The Historical
Townof Malaysia. It is a good opportunity to bring the students to know more about the
historical places at Malacca. The purpose of the trio is to visit the historical places and togain
awareness besides appreciating the the value of thehistorical places. Among the places that we
visited is the KotaA.Famosa, Muzium Samudera, and other historical places aroundMalacca
town. This included Muzium Baba dan Nyonya, TamanPortugis, dan Fort Cornwalles. This trip
is conducted on 24 and 25 August 2008. It is a 2days and 1 night trip. This trip is conducted

Hassan , and Mrs. Lina.Mr. Hassan is accompanying the boys while Mrs Linaaccompanying the

hotel.During the trip, the problem occurred is lack of participant. This is because the trip is held
on school holiday. Many studentsay that they has an own trip of holiday. The school not help
topromote and encourage students about this trip.
The benefits of this trip is the students can get knowledgeabout the historical places. Besides the

good activity. All the historical placesbring student to learn about the history that has happened
