Looking retrospectively, our friendships date from primary school days in Kedah, in towns like Sungai Petani, Kulim, Baling, Sik, Jeniang and Merbok.

From these small towns, some of us continued our studies at Ibrahim Secondary School, Sungai Petani, for Form Four and later Form Six. These events took place in 1973 and 1975, respectively.
