In the photo of Min visiting the school, I made a mistake..the Hd Boy is Oon Eng Hock..Eng Sin is the brother...he was also a prefect of Anderson Sch.
ReplyDeleteGuy before you in the queue, that's Ng Pak Thong. As regards Eng Hock, we all know he went on Federal Scholarship to do aeronautical engineering in UK, graduated with honours and came back to, well, a brick wall. I heard he ended up a teacher.
ReplyDeleteFolks...the pix was in 1967....As you can see,this was a BIG DAY for Anderson…the Minister of
ReplyDeleteEducation Khir Johari visiting the school…..and we prefects were introduced to him.
In those days, it was an honour to be prefects. Today, I really don’t know….and
similarly, those days, teachers had a lot of respect…and I salute Paul Chong, Eddie
Chin, Monica Leong, Waryam Singh and of course, the great Dato’ Selvamany our Econs guru. That’s why most of us took up Economics in the U, inspired by his teachings.
