What is Satay?
Satay - grilled, skewered meat
served with tangy peanut sauce,
fresh cucumber and onion slices.
That’s how dictionary would
define it. At the Haji Samuri
Satay Restaurant in Kajang, the
definition of satay is more
specific. The meat needs to be of
prime quality and it is grilled
over charcoal flames in the old
traditional way. Quality ingredi-
ents are used for the peanut
gravy, the secret recipe of which
has been passed down from
generation to generation of fami-
lies in Malaysia. It is this com-
mitment of quality that has
made Satay Malaysia a success.
All chicken and beef satays are
100 percent hand skewered
using truly authentic Malaysian
ingredients. A fact you’ll soon
discover yourself.

Singapore’s golf team is ready to
compete in the 2nd ASEAN
Schools Games. According to the
training on different golf courses and
undergoing intensive training
sessions. Since most of the golfers are
seasoned, they have a high-level of
confidence as they have played at
numerous regional and international
level tournaments. Meanwhile, the
golf team from Brunei is very serious
about getting gold medals as they
have trained their golfers for almost a
year and a month. They have high
hopes for Muhammad Hariz Hashim
who is Brunei’s top youth golfer.
Mr. Marvin Chan, Thailand is
undoubtedly the favourite team for
this event. Singapore aims to win
2nd place for both boys and girls
teams. Also, the team manager for
Brunei, Mr. Ajamain Hj. Othman
mentioned that Thailand’s golf
team is very experienced and
should win this event but he also
feels that Malaysia has the poten-
