MALACCA HIGH SCHOOL WALKABOUT ON SAT. 30 NOVEMBER 2013

A small group of former MHS pupils and 2 lower 6 MHS pupils who acted as our school guides took us around Malacca High School on Sat. 30.11.13. 

Paul Lim and wife came in from UK, Kwong (1958),Johnny Yong and Kang came from KL. Kwong has never been back since 1958. Many structures have been demolished due to building of new blocks. 

Our Wisma Pengakap (1975-1998) is gone, basketball court is gone and most recently the HSOBA building (1964-2013) was acquired by the Education Ministry and reduced to dust. 

The school hall opened (1981- ) is in need of repairs. 
Wonder why the school has built a RM 1 million new astro turf hockey pitch in 2013? Who will be responsible for the maintenance? 


A historical school like Malacca High must not loose her soul and buildings with history which have links with the pupils.

MAHSOPA DONATES TO PHILIPPINES TYPHOON DISASTER FUND

During the MAHSOPA Dinner, a spontaneous donation appeal was made to those present. It was an appeal for cash donation to the recent Philippines Typhoon Disaster Fund.

Those present responded by donating cash amounting to RM 3,600.00. It was for a compassionate response to the unfortunate citizens of Philippines who was devastated by the typhoon.

MAHSOPA made history by donating to an International Relief Fund which we had never done before. Also, the presence of more than 350 former Malacca High pupils made this dinner our biggest ever held.

We expressed our big Thank you to all former teachers and former pupils who made an effort in attending this auspicious event of the year.

Some ideas such as a golf game to be held either on Friday morning or Saturday morning for those interested in a game of golf.

Back to School walkabout for Saturday morning has been suggested with the co-operation of the School authorities.

The principal has indicated his co-operation in allowing former pupils to park in MHS premises for the dinner.

MAHSOPA Committee is also planning some music entertainment and we suggested a MHS representative band performance for the night. Even an overseas Skype video link with former pupils residing overseas is being considered.

All these ideas and programmes are still being planned and once they are firmed up, we will inform you accordingly.
