We can register former MHS pupils around the globe where our former pupils are residing in UK, USA, China, Australia, NZ, Europe and ASEAN countries. These include states within Malaysia and Singapore.

The Annual Dinner will be held in Hotel Equatorial, Melaka on Friday night, 29th November 2013. Priced at RM 700.00 per table of 10 or RM 70.00 per person. We hope to invite former principals and teachers to attend this do and for pupils of all years are invited to sponsor tables or get their schoolmates of each year to partipate. We plan to have 30 tables to 50 tables for this function.

Interested parties can contact our MAHSOPA committee or our organising Chairman, Mr Robert Lim via telephone or email us at admin@mahsopa.net for reservation or table bookings.

MAHSOPA PULAU KETAM TOUR ON 22.9.2012

Some members of MAHSOPA with their spouses and friend made a trip to Pulau Ketam, Selangor today.

They met up at the Pulau Ketam Ferry terminal where they were met up by a local Pulau Ketam tour guide before we sat an airconditioned boat to Pulau Ketam. The trip took about 35 minutes and when we reached the Pulau Ketam Town, we were surprised that the whole town was built on stilts. The walkways are now constructed of concrete instead of wooden planks which used to be norm about 20 years ago. These walkways were mainly done by the town folks themselves and contributed to its construction by donating sums of money. The donor names were listed on a notice board.

The other interesting aspects of Pulau Ketam include bicycle transport, walkways and there are no motor vehicles or motorcycles. Pipe water is now available from Port Klang via a submarine pipe and this is also true for the electrical supply. With power available, airconditioners and Astro connection is possible.

Unfortunately, the whole town does not have an integrated sewage system. This is the main disadvantage which the authorities must look into. By not having a workable sewage system, the wastes from the toilets and baths are discharged into the water below before being washed out to sea.

After a sea food lunch, we took a fishing boat to see the fish farms located near to Pulau Ketam and a floating facility for visitors to stay overnight and to fish. The fish farm consists of groupa and other high value fish which are exported to Hong Kong.

During our visit to Pulau Ketam, the weather has been kind to us. The weather was cloudy in the morning but the sun came out brightly after lunch. The boat journeys were safe and calm as rain did not come while we were at Pulau Ketam.
