In praise of selfless teachers


I WILL be attending a reunion next month with my schoolmates who completed the Malaysian Certificate of Education (MCE) in 1966. We have not seen each other much since we left school and we have modern technology to thank for enabling us to reconnect after more than half a century. As the reunion date draws nearer, we cannot help but reminisce about our wonderful school days.

Our alma mater is a mission school in Muar. Though our school was inadequate in many ways, we were well educated in most things. For this, we have our late Catholic brother director to thank, our dear Reverend Brother Robert. Though his approach was seen as harsh and unusually strict, it brought out the best in us.
