Classmates of Form 1 Merah (1971) - The Best Reunion Ever

On September 12, 2010 a reunion was organized for ex-students of various years to meet up at the school itself and Class 1 Merah 1971 has the best turn out. These were ex-students from this class (except one). Two doctor friends left earlier and did not have the chance to be in this group photograph. 

Dr. Aziz Ahmad (third from right) and Dr. Azmi Sarriff (at the extreme right). Hamzah Wahiddudin in between these 2 doctors.

This is a class where we have Malay friends, Indian friends, Chinese friends and friends for East Malaysia, Sabah. We did not argue about race, religion nor politic. We only talked about our teachers, disciplinary issues, sports and school activities. And most importantly we mix among ourselves, we made fun among ourselves, we joked and laughed, we played with one another just like ordinary and happy school students. I can say it was a true example of 1 Malaysia as what our current Prime Minister wanted to see. And that actually happened at 1 Merah 1971 of Sultan Badlishah School. Unfortunately we went our separate ways after we left this school and many of us did not see each other for a long time.

  1. Politics especially race-based political parties screwedup our society now. However political parties that do not shout race slogans are allways accomodating and maintaining the harmony between different ethnics of this beloved country. My slogan as a Malaysian is at all times "Hidup Bangsa Malaysia" (Bangsa Malaysia being Malaysians!!).
