2020 has been an exceptional year, and this unfortunate situation is not only experienced by participants in Malaysia, but also the 6 million Kangaroo Math participants from all over the world.
Despite this less-than-ideal situation, let us continue to do the good work of promoting mathematics and problem-solving among the young people of Malaysia while keeping health and safety as our number one priority.
