SEREMBAN: Memories of being selected to visit India with two other Malayans to witness the republic’s inaugural Republic Day celebration in 1962 still linger in the mind of retired teacher Ng Yee Tim, now 72.
Ng, who was then 21, said he was selected together with Melvyn Fernandez, a student from either St John’s or Victoria Institution and another individual whom he could only remember as Zainal, who was probably from Kedah, to represent Malaya to witness the historical event in New Delhi.
