Malacca High School, founded on 9th. December 1826, will be entering her 182 years of founding next week.

Certainly this is an auspicious and memorable occasion for all former students, teachers and principals including all existing students, teachers and principal of Malacca High School.

We should not forget the motto of our School as we get on with our own lives and we must also remember our principals, teachers and friends who have touched our lives while we were in the School.

Let us all strive for better things ahead.

Mr.AC Nonis

Dear Friends,

I have just been informed that our dear teacher Mr A C Nonis passed away around 1pm today Tuesday.

Funeral, I understand, is on Thursday 4th Dec. I do not have any further detail. It is hope that our Malacca guys can make a visit and pay a last respect.

Mr Nonis was after all, one of the best loved teacher that we were most fortunate to have during our High School years.

It is indeed a sad day for us students of this nice man.

RIP

A DECADE ago, Professor Chua Kaw Bing was holed up day and night in his laboratory in Universiti Malaya, garbed in white and protective gear. Eye shield, mask and gloves.

A plastic sheet placed underneath a tree in Tioman island, in which the bats roost, to collect fecal and urine samples.
But every time before he got down to business, the virologist mouthed a little prayer. He had good reasons to.

The virus, unknown then, which he was trying to isolate from a patient's brain fluid, was the cause for 265 encephalitis cases and 105 deaths in Malaysia within eight months.

Today is WORLD TEACHERS DAY and we should honour our past and present teachers who have nurtured us during our primary and secondary school days.

Without our dedicated teachers, we will not be what we are today. All of us are indebted to them for all their effort in educating and teaching us the knowledge we need to comprehend for our challenges ahead.

To our teachers, past and present, we thank you for your tireless effort, dedication, patience and wisdom in inculcating and teaching us the values of life and the importance of education.
