Dear Mr.K.Anandarajan

(Principal of MHS 1970-1972)

Dear Sir,

Its kind of flash back to my MHS days during your tenure at MHS. Even though I was under your wings for a year but your name appears the most appealing and the most talk about till now.How stern you were and how focus you were during your tenureship at MHS to turn us into a multi-talented students with sheer hard work, determination and sound discipline makes us first if not among equal in the fields of sports particularly hockey, rugby, and cricket either at state level competition and a few of us under your wings was able to carry the Nation flags with pride. Naming Razak Leman, Lim Kam Seng, Arikrisnan,Kamaruddin Temu, Dr.Mahindar Singh etc. In the track and field the Lim Chong Watt the ASEAN GAMES gold medalist was under your wings too.

You manage to put MHS in the map again after its glory days of the of the pre- independence era.Our alma mater names like Tan Sri Rahman Arshad,Tan Sri Hassan Wahab,Tan Sri Talib Osman our former AG not forgeting our former Finance Minister late Tun Tan Siew Sin,late Dato Mokhtar Daud ,the dad of our Khazanah CEO Dato Azman Mokhtar,Dato Ong Sek Peck not forgetting hundred thousand others whom are the by product of Meliora Hic Sequamur.Remembering those nostalgic days and proud to be at one of the earliest education institution in Malaysia after Penang Free.
To be honest up till today I still could not understand the Latin words is!

Well sir under your wings 3 teachers was able to carve their names as Tokoh Guru Kebangsaan.All three were my teachers and they were under your wings to.
1.Cikgu Tahir -recipient of 2001(my hostel master) sure do remember the caning at Cadet Room!!!
2.Miss Alice Wee.(recipient of Tokoh guru 2003) my Class and English teacher when I was in Form I. and
3.Cikgu M.P Rangga Nathan (recipient for 2002)-my BM and English teacher both Malay and Eng.Lit'ure.
Man .....all those three deserve it well and I hands my respect to all three for true academist at heart.Not a single day pass with boredom with all the three teaching.They were our guiding light.And I assume the person they have to thank for up lifting their teaching profession is you,sir.

My salutation to you for making our presence at MHS a pleasant one.

Looking back why do I blog this.Simply because I feel that our education system at present is in a state of limbo.The main question asked now is Parent taking over the teachers role? In answering the question I thought it is wise for me to copy and paste a old case which involved you during your tenure at KG5,Seremban,where by your case was up held both at Federal Court and Privy Council in 1970.

The legal mind at the superior court agrees with you sir, all along in question of 'DISCIPLINE.'

Lastly,hopefully you are in the very best of your peek and God bless you soul where ever you are sir.
