Heart and Soul: Remembering Mr Mahinder Singh, former principal of SMK Seri Pengkalan


Mahinder Singh was an exemplary headmaster who inspired his students to greatness.

Mahinder Singh was a beacon of inspiration for his students, a man whose dedication to teaching was unparalleled. Such devoted educators are rare today. He was almost “married” to his profession, possessing the Midas touch – many of his students excelled in life, attributing their success to his guidance. Sadly, he passed away in August 2023 at the age of 87.

Mahinder’s personal attributes were equally admirable. He was a humble, kind, gentle, honest, and religious man, deeply respected by his colleagues, students, and the Sikh community. His compassion, humility, and unwavering moral character earned him widespread admiration and respect. Beyond his professional life, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, teacher, and friend.
