50’s Old Boys

5th August 2008

I was summoned to dinner, a summons that cannot be disobeyed. The evening at Noble House Jalan Delima turned out to be one not to be regretted.

50’s refers to the years these senior gentlemen were in MBSKL. Four of them had since made Australia their home and was in Kuala Lumpur for a visit.

Among the seniors there were two Group Scout Masters, Kwai Choong and James Siew. Scouters who mentored many of us in our formative teenage years included Chu Tham Sang, Tan Kim Hock, Chang Siew Fah and Chan Tuck Choy. The other seniors were the ones we looked up to for guidance and learned from by the MSMD (monkey see monkey do) method. They are pretty good monkeys.

The youngest person there, Chee Wah was not even born when these guys left school.
