High-school 'secret admirer' reunited with his love almost three decades later

When she was 16, Norzalifa sang Casablanca at the MRSM orientation and Kalam fell in love with her then. At the MRSM 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner, he accompanies her to sing the very same song. It's the first time she has heard him sing, also the first time he has sung in public.

It all began when Dr Norzalifa Zainal Abidin and Major Kalam Pie were in secondary school at the Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) in Seremban, Negri Sembilan almost four decades ago.

Kalam would climb up to the roof or water tank at the boarding school just to take photos of his high school crush.
