All of us have 3 common factors in our past.
One – we stayed in Nibong Tebal and its neighbouring towns during our growing up years.
Two – we studied at Methodist School Nibong Tebal.
Three – we were a product of a caring society that did not differentiate race, religion and wealth.
In fact my friends, these three factors, which most of us took for granted have now become a unique, hard-to-find commodity!
We came through our adulthood with a breeze without the hangover of coming from a (very) small town or a small school. In fact that school was BIG if we consider the immense wealth of goodness packed in us during our ‘metamorphosis’! We have no problems in competing with the best and we can be friends with anyone. This unique quality has shaped all of us today, but alas….it is sadly missing in most other societies today!
So let us make it a point to attend this Gala Dinner scheduled on the 29th of December. Let is give our support to this wonderful initiative to fulfill the wish of the late Stanley Padman to create an interactive alumni. Let us stamp our mark of approval to propagate this “esprit de corps”!
