Sincere gift to alma mater

The St. Michael Institution class of 1961 presenting a mock cheque to the fund’s chairman Dr Benen Foo Ban Nyen.



FIFTY years after they left school, a group of former students from St. Michael’s Institution, Ipoh donated RM50,000 towards the Michaelians Give Back Fund at the school’s alumni dinner recently.

Speaking on behalf of the 16 “old boys” present at the dinner – who completed their Form Five in 1961 – Choo Jee Sam said that members of the group from that year, who now reside in the Klang Valley, meet up every two months for friendship and networking.

It was during one of these sessions that they decided to raise the sum RM50,000 — or RM1,000 for each year since they had left the school.

“Our group includes prominent lawyers, architects, engineers, government servants, other professionals and businessmen who are all successful in their own ways,” said Choo.

“We all have fond memories of St. Michael’s and are grateful for the solid educational foundation, the discipline, camaraderie and the ‘Michaelian spirit’ which shaped us to be what we are today.

Be Perfectly Happy to be ...

Be Perfectly Happy to be ...

There are those who seem to enjoy being unpleasant for the sake of it.
There are lots of others who are spiteful, scornful, snobbish, hurtful, selfish and small-minded.
Obviously, as an
idealistic and caring person, one is not one of them.
Now that circumstances are forcing one to deal with someone of this nature,
resist the temptation to encourage them to adopt a more gracious approach.
They're perfectly happy as they are.
Leave them be.
Be perfectly happy to be what you are, too.


The law of our life can be summed up in the axiom
"be what you are"

Thomas Merton

***
BE HAPPY!!!
