Something to jog your memories

My hats off to the contributor. Gosh, its almost 50 years since I have seen this badge. Though the colour its gone but I can still see the inscription. The whole colour was bright red & yellow. It was metallic which you can pin it on your left pocket shirt. The badge was with me in immaculate condition in 1970 until I left Ipoh. Somehow, just about a year having the badge, the school changed it to cloth where it was sown on our shirt. Does anyone out there still have a replica of the cloth badge ? Thanks for… Read more »

I thought I’d never ever get to see one again!
Thank you!

I was here 63-64.Stayed at the hostel.Then to ASI.

Hi Azman,
Hostel? Was there a Hostel in NTPS, JPP ?
I only knew there was a Malay School as our neighbour.
If there was, then probably you would know Datuk Lat.
Mano mentioned there were some snake specimen in one of the classes. Yes, I think there were some bottles at the back classroom towards the Sam Choi Chinese School.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that.

The Malay school was our neighbour.the Hostel was on the other side beside the school padang.Dato Lat was my classmate for 2 years..63-64.

Hi Azman,
Thanks for your historical input on NTPS.
Are you still in contact with Datuk Lat?
I am trying to contact Mrs Hew Chai Kee without any success.
I thought maybe I can get it from Datuk Lat since she was recently featured with Datuk Lat.
Have a good day.

Hi Azman, Your contribution is invaluable as I have forgotten about the hostel. You said at the other side of the padang. That would mean at the back of the school hall, then. I think there were Arts & Craft classes at the back and besides the hostel, I dont recalled there was a Teacher Training Centre. Was there a back gate there ? When I left the school many years later, , I passed by the back portion & I also noticed there was a Dentist chair. That would mean there was a resident Dentist & nurse there, then.… Read more »
