That’s my name up on the board for 1995/96
This photo is taken together with the junior prefects of the school. One of the girls told me that she wants to be just like me when she grows up. This is my first invitation by a PIBG (Parent Teacher Association) to attend an event in a public school in my capacity as the state assemblyman for Subang Jaya. A big thank you to the PIBG for making this possible.
I had to hold my emotions while addressing the students and teachers because it means a lot to me to be able to finally return to my alma mater and motivate the younger leaders in our community. Being in the school hall encouraged me to press on in my journey of rebuilding the nation. In 1995, we could only dream of having our own school hall, we raised funds for one but left school too soon to see this dream materialised. 12 years later, I now addressed the school in their new school hall. This reminds me that pioneers and builders may not necessarily live to enjoy the reward of their labour. The next generation will instead reap the harvest. Someday in Malaysia we will breathe the air of real democracy. We just have to keep building for now and have faith that the uncomfortable renovation works will soon be over and God willing, we shall be able to at least bear witness to the establishment of a righteous nation.
