FORMER principal of SMK St Thomas M.N.D’ Cruz, who will turn 88 next month, was in a wheel-chair as he was pushed by school old boy Abdul Rahman Abdul Razak under the blazing sun in Jalan Gambut, Kuantan recently.

Since he has difficulty walking, the old boys decided to give him a helping hand during the Walk for St Thomas, which was organised by the Save St Thomas Ad-Hoc Committee to persuade the Education Ministry to retain the name of the 68-year-old school.
