1966 Part l/3 name list

1966 saw more than a hundred students registering at both Lower Sixth and fourth Form levels. This could be one of those record years in TLS related to the number of intake.

School intakes were very much related to birth rates in most countries. But in Malaysia, special intakes were related to demands by politicians and policy makers. Hence school and later university intakes could have many implications in the history of a society. It goes without saying students of politics are only too aware of that.

I can't say which was my best year in school as I regard every year at TLS my best years ! But 1966 was a year when I made friends who lasted a life time - true friends, that is. When later in life, I saw Water Margin(All Men are Brothers) over and over again, I could relate to these stories from another culture. How much all of us are alike if we look deeper under the skin. Are we all not for justice? Are we not for the underdogs? And are we not protectors and defenders of the weak? And don't we all stick our necks out for brothers? I believe boarding schools give every one of us all those remarkable sensibilities and values. Even if we do not make it to the House of Commons/Lords (British Constitution), at least we are not scums at the gates of the city(Bible).

School was a fantastic place to be - safe and plenty of food(albeit lacking in form,colour and even taste). We did not have a Jamie Oliver to publicize what we ate or improve on what we had! At a particular point of time in my life, I learnt with lots of glee that the Taiwanese had piped music for their pigs during their feeding time to bring about faster growth and better pork!! Now that's a digression ). School was also full of friends and most important of all learning, hopes and dreams. I saw transformation. I saw lives touching lives.

Although the chaos theory and change theory were not on the lips of those above me, I could see that time no longer stood still. I could see that the tongkang, the river boat trade would soon disappear . I could see that those who made money in the rural areas would be moving away leaving everything behind. It seemed so easy for so many to make so much money in Sarawak!! Now that's another story.
