My Recent Accident:
KAMUNTING: On 22nd of September, 2012 at 9.50 am was a very bad moment for me and my wife.I met with an accident. A car knocked me hard at the back of my motor cycle. I flew forward. I crush landed on the road, I never knew how I landed because I was unconscious the moment I was knocked down. .
My wife said one of my neighbors brought back my motor cycle and my purse with RM 1,400 (pension) was stolen. I kept the money in my purse, the impact broke two back-mud-guards, it dislodged a carrier-box,and a rain coat was stolen.
Then some one from the scene phone for ambulance.
I was unconscious while I was lying on the road. I do not know how I was carried into the ambulance. When I reached the hospital's operation theater I could vaugly remember the doctor telling me that my right thumb and the first finger was dislodged from the finger joints.
All the while my wife was at my bed-side cleaning, clothing , bathing and feeding me when I was in the hospital. Lots of my relatives and few friends visited me at the hospital.
My fifth brother M.Shanthramohana would travel from Kulim, Kedah to see me in the hospital where was warded for three days. I became fully conscious on the last day in the hospital.
On the fifth day I went too the Taiping Police Station with Vijendran. Itold in the report how I met with the accident.
The police said the car owner who knock me down said I crossed the road at Post Office junction and he hit me. This was a great lie. I was travelling all the while on trunk road Jalan Kamunting and was on my way to coach two athletes at Garrison Field.
On the 6th day Vijendran with my medical report and police report gave them to lawyer Varpal Sagoo to
take up the case.
So far no news was received from Varpal.
Hopping that the case would me on my favour.

The
old tradition of having reunion dinner at Hokkien Association Hall
Taiping, guest speakers standing on the dinner tables delivering
lively speeches, free flow of beer, and after the dinner traditional
dance(ronggeng) were all over due to changes in times.
It
is now becoming more sophisticated, having dinners in banquet halls
and delivering speeches on stages. There are no free flows of beer,
no vocal and humorous talks, cat calls and jokes are all over.
The
Organising chairman cum president of the King Edward VII School Old
Boys Association Malaysia Taiping welcomed the old boys, the guest
of honour Deputy Minister for Domestic Trade, Cooperative and
Consumerism and other guests.
He
thanked the 45th Annual Dinner, 14th Golf
Tournament and the Editorial Committees for their jobs well done and
also thanked all the sponsors, donors in cash (Azhar Ismail Sutan
RM1, 000 and SSL Traders Hotel RM2,000 ) and kind and trophies.
He
said on behalf of the old boys he extended their heart felt
condolence to the late Tan Sri Datuk Abdul Shukor Abdullah who was
instrumental in getting the school principal's residency at Station
Road for the Old Boys where all the meetings of the Association were
conducted.
“The
Association is annually contributing RM2,000 as Golden Jubilee
Scholarship Fund for students from poor and needy families.

year Goh Boon Teik, Datuk Tan Thian Hoo and the Class of 1965 donated
RM12, 000 into the Long Heng Hua Scholarship Fund and from it eight

achievements of the school.
.
Datuk
Tan thanked Mohideen and his organising committee for inviting her
as the guest of honour in the old Edwardians' spirited gathering.
She
said the spirit of “Edwardians was synonymous with the
multiracialism being promoted by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib
Abdul Razak.
“This
spirit of multiracialism promoted by the Edwardians is the essence
for the whole nation in maintaining a continuing peace, and a greater
future and I believe all Malaysians should foster reciprocal racial
understanding as seen through the Edwardians' spirit.
“For
many of you, the fond memories of this great school and the education
you received had helped you in serving the nation and this tradition
must be sewn to the younger generation who will be the future
leaders of our beloved nation,” she said.
She
said the other old boys associations should emulate the old
Edwardians Association as being a pillar of strength to its Alma
mater, the King Edward VII School Taiping, in providing continuous
financial support to the school and scholarships to the poor and
needy students.
She
said she lastly believed that without the full support by the old
boys, the reunion dinner would not be so successful and she thanked
the president and the organising committee for a job well done and
“terima kasih”: for having her in the spirited Edwardians from a
great school, King Edward VII, Taiping.

Datuk Joginder Singh in reply to Datuk Tan's speech welcomed her,
and thanked her for being with the Edwardians. After commenting about
her speech and the school, he in his usual manner brought the hall
into stitches with his adult jokes..
