How teaching became my passion

UPON completing Form Five in 1955, I was at a crossroads about my future. My dream was to study Form Six and attend the University of Singapore.

As there were no Form Six classes at my alma mater – Abu Bakar School (ABS) in Temerloh, Pahang – students had to transfer to Mahmud School in Raub, which was more than 120km away. I knew my parents would never allow me to be so far away from our home in Mentakab
