My recent visit to Muzium Negara’s exhibition – themed “100 Years of HMS Malaya Trophies” – was intentional, to evoke the memories of my long and intimate involvement with one of them, the rugby trophy, which was on display.

It was also an opportune moment to soak up its ethereal aura once again for a meaningful spiritual communion. There may not be a next time.
