I was a little boy then only wishing to study hard and break away from the vicious cycle of poverty. Most of my school buddies were very determined as well. We often talked together like brothers. Our teachers were like gods and goddesses to us.
One of the activities I remember most fondly was the work party. I took pride in doing all the work for the school as I consider the school my saviour.
One of the teachers I remember most fondly was Mrs. Sargunam. In later years I met her in Kuching and she remined a very kind teacher towards all of us knowing truly that we were from extremely poor families.
So it is good to have this photo digitalised for all of us to remember her and my seniors in school.

Sawan,
I love the weekly work parties too! The School was our pride and keeping it clean and trim was a pride. How I wish the same mentality could be injected into the students of today. It certainly will change our nation.

Hi
Nice to have worked in the work parties...we did our best to turn the school into a beautiful school with a well trimmed campus. Just us and the changkuls and parangs.
I understand Ai Kon still uses a changkul in Perth!!
Dear JB
Thanks. Yes most of the Tanjong Lobang graduates have a lot of honorifics today...but in my blog...i just remember them using their student day names...
Hatta is a dear friend of mine. My kindest regards and respect for him.
