吉隆坡臺灣學校本(2021)年1月1日舉行實體與線上創新的「慶祝中華民國110年元旦升旗典禮」,各界嘉賓與在線上參與的師生共勉迎接新的一年。
基於防疫的考量,除了吉隆坡台灣學校杜董事長書垚、鄭校長雅芬及林凱民執行董事、部分教職員外,其他賓客、全校各班級老師和學生均在線上透過視訊平台觀看同步直播,一起參與升旗活動。駐馬來西亞代表處洪慧珠大使致詞感謝臺校透過實體與線上創新方式舉辦別開生面的升旗典禮,讓中華民國的國旗在新的一年的第一天在馬來西亞升起,意義非凡;洪大使並在致詞中指出:「臺馬關係長期以來不論在貿易、投資、教育、觀光、文化、農業及醫療各方面,都有十分亮麗的表現,臺灣不僅是馬來西亞的第6大貿易夥伴、馬來西亞是臺灣的第7大貿易夥伴,更是馬來西亞的第四大外資,累計投資額為136.57億美元。除了經貿投資,臺馬兩國人民間的交流頻繁,友誼深厚,馬來西亞到臺灣留學的學生,以及到臺灣旅遊的觀光客仍然是東南亞國家中人數最多的。而2020年在全球持續對抗新冠肺炎的時刻,臺灣不僅展現堅毅的韌性成功防疫、贏得國際的高度讚賞,由於受疫情衝擊相對輕微,所以經濟及國力持續成長,臺馬關係也更加密切。」。洪大使更期許新的一年,臺馬友好及合作關係更進一步。
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Chinese Taipei School (Kuala Lumpur) Flag Raising Ceremony was held in a hybrid way to prevent crowd gathering on the campus. The flag raising ceremony was attended by Chairman Eric Tu Shu Yao of the Board of Directors, Principal Y. F. Cheng and some teachers and administrative staff, while the students and most of the teachers watching the ceremony live at home. Representative Anne Hung of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia gives her video remarks at the Flag Raising Ceremony. In her video speech, Representative Anne Hung thanked the school for holding this meaningful event and having the national flag raised in Malaysia on the first day of the new year despite the challenges caused by the pandemic. She also emphasized the strong bond between Taiwan and Malaysia in various fields such as trade, education, tourism and many more. Taiwan’s success in combating the pandemic not only won international acclaim but also reduced the impact to the local economy. Lastly, she hoped that the exchanges and collaborations between Taiwan and Malaysia will be further enhanced in the coming year.
