Sekolah adalah institusi pendidikan yang berperanan dalam melahirkan generasi pelajar berilmu,
berwawasan serta berdaya saing. Sehubungan itu, sistem pendidikan wajar mencerminkan budaya
sekolah cemerlang sebagaimana yang dihasratkan dalam Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan.
Dalam soal ini, kecemerlangan akademik semata-mata tidak memadai bagi seseorang pelajar terutama
dalam menghadapi cabaran hebat di era globalisasi ini. Pihak sekolah umpamanya perlu memupuk
kesedaran serta mendedahkan pelajar dengan kemahiran tertentu khususnya dalam kokurikulum sebagai
persiapan mereka untuk bersaing dengan bangsa lain di dunia ini. Malah, keseimbangan kemahiran
dalam semua aspek harus disemai dalam diri pelajar agar kegemilangan yang dikecapi mereka menjadi
pencapaian bermakna untuk diri, keluarga, masyarakat dan negara.
Sejajar itu, Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) sentiasa berusaha memperkasa bidang pendidikan
demi memastikan hasrat melahirkan pelajar yang berilmu, berkemahiran, berdaya saing, berhemah
tinggi, bersahsiah mulia, berdisplin serta memilik minda kelas pertama, akan tercapai. Baru-baru ini
Kementerian Pelajaran telah melancarkan Pelan Induk Pembangunan Pendidikan 2006-2010 (PIPP) iaitu
satu pelan perancangan menyeluruh untuk tempoh lima tahun yang merupakan pelengkap kepada
pelan-pelan rancangan terdahulu dan digubal berpandukan matlamat dan teras kerangka besar Misi
Nasional dan Wawasan 2020. Di dalam pelan ini, kita telah menggariskan pelbagai usaha dan pendekatan
untuk memperkasa bidang pendidikan negara termasuk usaha melahirkan modal insan berkualiti yang
mana tanggungjawabnya perlu dipikul bersungguh-sungguh oleh para pendidik dan pertadbir di
sekolah. Justeru, saya amat berharap agar pelan ini dapat dihayati dan difahami oleh semua pihak demi
memastikan agenda-agenda serta pendekatan yang digariskan akan tercapai dengan jayanya.
Segala kejayaan bermula dari sekolah. Marilah kita sama-sama berusaha menjadikan sekolah kita yang
terbaik dalam semua aspek. Usaha bersepadu amat penting bagi memastikan sekolah kita bukan sahaja
muncul antara kalangan sekolah cemerlang yang terbaik di negara ini, malah mampu bersaing dengan
sekolah-sekolah terbaik di dunia ini.
Akhir kata, tahniah dan syabas kepada Sidang Redaksi Majalah Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Methodist
(ACS), Perak di atas usaha dan inisiatif menerbitkan majalah ini. Semoga usaha ini dapat diteruskan pada
masa akan datang.
Selamat Maju Jaya.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh dan Salam Sejahtera.
Terlebih dahulu saya ingin merakamkan ucapan tahniah kepada Sidang Redaksi Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan Methodist (ACS), Ipoh kerana telah berjaya menerbitkan majalah THE VOYAGER edisi ke-75
bagi tahun 2007.
Majalah sekolah merupakan salah satu saluran yang sering digunakan sebagai media untuk menyampaikan
informasi kepada kepada seluruh warganya, ibu bapa dan masyarakat. Informasi yang disampaikan akan
berbentuk laporan dan imbas aktiviti-aktiviti yang telah dijalankan oleh pihak sekolah. Setiap aktiviti
yang dirancang dan dilaksana, perlukan pelaporan untuk kita menilai kembali impak dan keberkesanan
setiap aktiviti yang telah dijalankan sepanjang tahun. Segala pencapaian sekolah dapat diketahui umum
termasuk prestasi peperiksaan awam, sukan dan kegiatan kokurikulum.
Untuk menyediakan sesuatu majalah, komitmen yang padu antara warga sekolah amat diperlukan. Tanpa
kerjasama dan sokongan pentadbir sekolah, PIBG, murid serta guru, sudah pasti sesuatu yang dirancang
tidak mencapai matlamat yang diharapkan.
Tahun 2007 merupakan tahun “Pemantauan, Penilaian dan Penambahbaikan” bagi Jabatan Pelajaran
Perak. Segala dasar yang telah ditetapkan oleh kerajaan haruslah disokong sepenuhnya dengan
semangat yang tinggi demi kecemerlangan pendidikan negara. Perubahan minda dan usaha yang
konsisten hingga menghasilkan kejayaan yang berterusan perlu dirancang. Segala bentuk pemikiran
yang mengelirukan dan tidak bersesuaian dengan dasar pendidikan perlu dikikis supaya wacana dan jati
diri dapat dibentuk. Perubahan sikap dan budaya di semua peringkat generasi amat diperlukan bagi
menjamin kejayaan kita.
Perancangan Strategik Pendidikan Negeri Perak telah pun berjalan. Warga pendidik diseru agar
memberikan penekanan kepada aspek pembangunan yang menjurus kepada pembinaan peradaban
yang dicanai dengan pegangan agama dan memberi fokus kepada usaha mempertingkatkan mutu
kehidupan melalui penguasaan ilmu, pembangunan insan, pembangunan kesihatan serta pembangunan
fizikal.
Harapan saya, melalui penerbitan majalah THE VOYAGER selain meluaskan minda melalui pelbagai ruang
sebagai saluran komunikasi secara berhemah, ia juga boleh digunakan oleh para ibu bapa, guru-guru,
pentadbir sekolah serta para pegawai pelajaran untuk menilai prestasi sekolah dari segi perancangan
dan pelaksanaan pembangunan terutama pembangunan modal insan.
Akhir kata, pada tahun 2007 ini saya menyeru agar warga pendidik berusaha dengan lebih gigih dan
bersungguh-sungguh dalam mencapai kecemerlangan pendidikan di Negeri Perak. Kita perlu bertekad
dan berazam untuk menjadikan Perak sebagai ‘Negeri Berasaskan Ilmu’ selaras hasrat kerajaan Negeri
Perak. Jadilah manusia yang berilmu, beramal dan memanfaatkan ilmu serta bersama-sama menjana
“Komuniti Berilmu Perak Terbilang”.
Sekian, terima kasih.

Saya ingin merakamkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada Sidang Ridaksi majalah SMK Methodist ACS
Ipoh, THE VOYAGER tahun 2007, kerana memberi saya kesempatan untuk menyampaikan sepatah dua
kata dalam majalah ini.
Usaha menerbitkan majalah ini sememangnya jelas memaparkan kesungguhan warga sekolah dan
sokongan semua pihak dalam merakamkan segala nostalgia sekolah dan sejarah sekolah buat tatapan
umum untuk tahun ini dan sebagai rujukan masa depan. Sesungguhnya, majalah sekolah adalah wadah
kepada pelajar untuk mencerna minda mereka di samping mengetengahkan bakat sedia ada dengan
menghasilkan pelbagai bentuk penulisan kreatif dan deskriptif. Saya yakin para pelajar akan dapat
mengenali sejarah sekolah ini dengan lebih mendalam melalui edisi majalah kali ke-75 dan sekaligus
mencintai sekolah ini dengan lebih mendalam.
Perjalanan masa yang begitu pantas membawa kita ke era globalisasi yang begitu mencabar dan dinamik.
Sistem Pendidikan di negara ini juga tidak statik kerana kerajaan menyedari betapa pentingnya suatu
Sistem Pendidikan yang mapan dan berkesan dalam menyediakan pejuang-pejuang generasi muda untuk
menghadapi dugaan dan kekangan yang akan dihadapi dalam kehidupan.
Oleh yang demikian, setiap warga pendidik, para pelajar, malah ibu bapa, seharusnya memantapkan
keupayaan dan ketahanan diri dalam mengharungi arus globalisasi yang telah menjadi simbol alaf baru.
Kecemerlangan dalam bidang akademik dan kokurikulum seiring dengan kemantapan rohaniah dan
jasmaniah sudah pasti melonjakkan mutu pendidikan kita ke tahap antarabangsa, salah satu sasaran
Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia dalam Pelan Induk Pembangunan Pendidikan
Akhir kata, selamat maju jaya kepada semua warga ACS dan teruskan usaha anda ke arah
kegemilangan.

I wish to thank the Voyager Board 2007 for your kind invitation to write this message. The 75th edition
of our school magazine will mark an important milestone in our history. All our staff and students should
read and treasure this magazine as it will record the significant events and activities of our school
community. Our annual magazine will also provide our students an outlet for creative writing which will
benefit our present and future generations of students. Congratulations to the crew of THE VOYAGER
2007 for completing your mission with great success.
This is a very special year for all Malaysians as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Merdeka. A wise
person has said that ‘we have no light to illuminate the pathway of the future save that which falls over
our shoulder from the past’. Therefore, we should pause and review our nation’s history as reflecting on
what our founding fathers have done for us in the past will enable us to have a clear perspective of our
present and also the future. It is my fervent prayer and hope that all the citizens of Malaysia will think and
act as true Malaysians by living according to all the principles of our Rukunegara.
Learning is a lifelong journey as the process of acquiring critically important knowledge to equip
ourselves is a marathon and not a sprint. All our students should experience the fun and joys of learning
so that they will be more focussed and gradually grow into wholesome individuals. The opportunities for
learning and developing important skills for our students are not confined to the class rooms but are on
the ‘stages’ of the sports fields, the societies, the uniformed groups, and the famous annual ACS drama
production. The ACS Ipoh has known and practiced the art of integrating our students of different
backgrounds so that they will remember and be prepared to take all their experiences with them when
they leave.
I would like to thank all the members of the Board of Governors, the PTA, the ACS Ipoh Alumni
Association, and our Principal and staff for all your contributions to our beloved school. May we all
continue to dedicate ourselves to serve ACS Ipoh!
Finally, let us all pledge and persevere to live our motto ‘Bene Orasse, Bene Studuisse’ that is to pray hard
and work hard for our God and Malaysia.

Principal
SMK Methodist (ACS) Ipoh
I congratulate all our Voyager Board members as well as teacher advisors, both past and present, who
have painstakingly toiled all these years to faithfully chronicle the events, highlights and achievements of
this grand institution. I am sure this year’s editorial crew takes great pride in helming the 75th production
of our school magazine and, in the process, mark another milestone in the glorious history of their alma
mater.
With the establishment of our school’s web portal and the improvements in its content, we hope more
visitors will log on to keep abreast of events and programs happening in our school. Visitors will certainly
appreciate seeing visuals of the programs and celebrations that have occurred.
This year, ACS Ipoh celebrated the 50th National Independence of our beloved country in a manner that
befits the status of a national premier school. Students and staff of all races worked together tirelessly
with great enthusiasm and harmonious cooperation to produce a giant ‘kolam’ that displayed our
national flag and school badge as a symbolic gesture to say we are proud to be a part of our country’s
growing process. This achievement made the front page of a national English newspaper and was
reported in all other major newspapers as well. It also booked our school a place in the Malaysia Book
of Records. This magnificent feat serves to unite all denizens of this school in the common objective
of commemorating Malaysia’s 50 years of nationhood in grand style. It helped bring together students
of diverse races and backgrounds in a show of appreciation and gratitude for our nation. It created
pride in the student body and inspires students to do well on all fronts in future. More importantly, it
inculcates in everyone that we have the potential to succeed in whatever we desire provided we plan
well, work hard, develop a strong team spirit, and be prepared to sacrifice time as well as energy to
overcome all setbacks.
I take this opportunity to thank the Board of Governors, the Parent-Teachers Association, and the
ACS Ipoh Alumni for the continuous support given to the maintenance of infrastructure, promotion of
academic and co-curricular activities. Their continued support and interest in the welfare of the students
and staff of this school is indeed a strong motivation for us to continue to strive for success. I would also
like to extend my appreciation to all parents and the local community for their strong support for our
school.
Bene Orasse, Bene Studuisse.

Warm greetings to the Principal, Mr Cheng Sai Lak, teachers, and students of SMK Methodist (ACS) Ipoh.
First of all, on behalf of the parents, I would like to congratulate the school on its continued progress
under the able leadership of Mr Cheng Sai Lak. He has kept the ACSian spirit alive and intact. A thank
you also to the Editorial Board for inviting me to share my thoughts with all of you.
A year has passed and the school has, yet again, many accomplishments in the academic and cocurricular activities. The untiring efforts to prepare our students to face greater challenges in the national
and international arena are much appreciated.
This year, Malaysia celebrates 50 years of Nationhood. Our school’s intention to do something
extraordinary as a show of our patriotism saw the birth of the ‘Kolamthon’ Project. The teachers and
students took upon this mammoth task and made a success of it, putting the name of the school into
the Malaysia Book of Records. Congratulations! Keep up the good work and steer the school to greater
heights.
The comfort of our students and teachers must not be overlooked. Hence Mr Cheng has made the effort
to get the students’ and teachers’ toilets renovated. The school is also looking stately with a new coat
of paint.
The parents of our students also play a most important role and must be thanked. They have untiringly
supported the school in the projects undertaken and also by encouraging their children to fully
participate in the school’s activities. Their continued support is essential in ensuring the continued
success of ACS. A big thank you to the parents is definitely in order.
Finally, I would like to express my hope that the Principal and his team of able, dedicated teachers and
the rest of the ACS community continue to work together to keep up the great tradition of ACS of
producing great scholars and sportsmen.

I would like to thank the Editorial Board of Voyager 06/07, SMK Methodist ACS Ipoh for this opportunity
to write for the school magazine THE VOYAGER 2007.
I praise God for another year as we journey on in life, striving for excellence and success.
Success! What is it? The leadership guru, John C. Maxwell, says it is NOT, although many think it to be :
wealth, a special feeling of happiness or contentment, specific and worthwhile possessions, power or
achievement. But his definition goes like this :
Success is …
knowing your purpose in life,
growing to reach your maximum potential,
sowing seeds that benefit others.
ACS Ipoh has gone a long way since its founding days by Rev. W. E. Horley in 1895. It has impacted many
lives of students and staff. As in your school song, may you continue to do what is right, brave and true.
I pray that as you sail on your journey in life, God will give you success. To do this, we have to ask God
for wisdom and direction so that will tell us what pleases Him and in doing what pleases Him, we bless
others, giving our lives meaning and significance.
Congratulation to SMK Methodist ACS, Ipoh. May God shower His richest blessings on all of you.

I want to share some thoughts that will help students in school and all of life.
I liken school to a factory where clay is shaped by the potters, then put into the kiln for hardening and
out come fine potteries. Learning and instructing are ingrained in the very souls of humans. Even before
the advent of formal education, prehistoric humans learned by way of apprenticeship, imitation, and
rituals.
For effective learning, students must pay attention to those who teach. The wisdom writer teaches,
“Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching”. Pay attention to
teachers, parents and all who teach.
What would happen if you did not pay attention to lessons in school? You are going to miss out on the
best investment of your life: education. You are not doing justice to government, parents, and teachers
who are doing their best in giving you a proper education.
You would have heard laments lime, “If only I had studied well in school, I would not be what I am today”.
There is a lot of truth in such a statement. There is always something lacking and lagging in persons who
are without a proper education. So do not squander away your precious time in school.
Next, do not give in to peer pressure. What does this mean? I means that you do not do everything that
everybody else is doing, especially the wrong doings. Just because everybody else is doing it, it does
not make it right.
Be discreet; do not always follow the crowd. For it is written, “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts
good character”. (1 Corinthians 15:33). If you do not want fleas, do not play around with dogs that have
them. If anything else, bad company will get you into vices and troubles.
Finally, a noble goal of education is to put truth into practice: knowing who God is, His relations with us,
and His teaching. This truth develops us as holistic persons who transform the school, the community,
and the nation. With research on genome and biodiversity making headway, we shall remain immutable
humans made by God and loved by Him.

It is indeed an honour to pen this message for the 75th edition of THE VOYAGER. I wish to convey my
sincere congratulations to the Editorial Board for maintaining the tradition and rich heritage of our alma
mater for so many years.
ACS Alumni Association has been deeply involved in many activities held in ACS throughout the year,
notably the annual school drama. We were also involved in promoting the fund raising ‘Bollywood
Concert’ in 2006 and the ‘Kolamthon’ in 2007. In academic examinations, the alumni association has
been honouring the best Mathematics student in Form Six.
In December 2006 we had our Annual Reunion Dinner in Subang Jaya. It was held in the Klang Valley
after a gap of 10 years.
The alumni association is committed to the improvement of our permanent secretariat (at Jalan Yang
Kalsom) so as to make it a base for alumni to meet and carry out its activities. We are growing from
strength to strength as we have a large pool of veterans, and new members joining the association.
We will continue to work with our alma mater in its various activities and help maintain its glory as a
prominent premier school in the state. With this edition of THE VOYAGER another milestone has been
reached in its endeavour to provide a great base for achievements in various fields.

Head Prefect
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to express my utmost gratitude to the Editorial Board of
THE VOYAGER 2007 for giving me the honour and privilege to pen down a few lines in the foreword of
this magazine which is part of the long running heritage of ACS Ipoh.
As a student of ACS under 3 different Principals for 7 years, I have seen tremendous changes in various
aspects in this school. For instance, our alma mater now has a multimedia room which is fully equipped
with up-to-date computers and projectors enabling the students to get the best education and also to
assist the teachers in delivering higher quality education. Other than that, the underground boys’ toilet
and the boys’ toilet near Horley Hall have both undergone major renovations for the betterment of the
students. All the Science Laboratories in our school now have their own projectors and screens thanks
to the government and our school.
Besides that, the school has also produced many students who made the school proud by achieving
excellent results in public examinations namely PMR, SPM and STPM as well as MUET. This proves that ACS
is indeed one of the frontrunners in producing excellent students in the country.
As for our co-curricular activities, we can proudly say that we now not only have amazing swimmers but
also the best boxer and keglers in Kinta and Perak. Our junior shuttlers are also coming up and it’s just
a matter of time before they burst onto the national scene. Other than that, our debaters and public
speakers are also flying high above the others in competitions. One of our English Language public
speakers emerged as the best in Perak and will be participating at the national level!
The school has also launched the Kolamthon Project in conjunction with the 50th Merdeka Anniversary.
This biggest and most important event of the year will not only book ACS a place in the Malaysia Book of
Records but will also go down as one of the historic events in our 112 year history.
Before I end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Principal, Mr Cheng Sai Lak, PIBG Chairman,
Dato’ Dr Balaravi Pillai, Chairman of the Board of Governors, Dr Lai Thian Seong, the OBA, En Latif bin Alias,
Mr Goh Kim Thun, Tn Hj. Ahmad Zainuddin, discipline masters En Meor Ikram bin Othman and Mr Abtar

unbreakable spirit in making ACS a better institution of learning. Thank you.

Head Librarian
‘Experience makes a difference’
Knowledge and experience is essential for the improvement of oneself. Based on this, our school has
been producing knowledgeable individuals with unique characters. Being the Head Librarian of this
school has made me acquire new experiences and knowledge.
Our school library can be recognised as one of the most historical ones with a variety of books ranging
from before the First World War era till the books of today. We have been continuously adding more than
1,000 books every year into our treasury which boasts of more than 50,000 books. Moreover, thanks
to the ICT board, the digital library now has personal computers with educational software and Internet
access using WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) for the teachers and students to use at their convenience. This year,
our library had the honour of being selected as one of the finalists of the state level competition for
School Libraries.
Serving as a librarian is not as easy as it seems. The maintenance of such an enormous and established
library indeed requires a lot of dedication, commitment, and sheer hard work. Throughout the year,
we organised various activities for the students – the World Happenings Exhibition, the Book Fair, and
book reviews.
Being the Head Librarian for the year 2006/2007 has given me invaluable experiences and memories.
Therefore, I wish to express my greatest gratitude to our beloved teacher advisor, Ms Teoh Beng Guat
and Pn Lim Sau Chang for their support and contributions. Also, to my fellow librarians, thank you for
the never ending support that you have given me through the ups and downs running the Board. My
comrades, I really owe you guys a lot for helping me, thus making my job so much easier. Thank you
once again. I would also like to thank the school and the PIBG for the support given to the Board. Last
but not least, I would like to thank THE VOYAGER Board of ACS Ipoh for giving me this privilege to pen
down a few words in THE VOYAGER.
Thank you. ‘We Are Proud To Be One’.

Editor
One Year, One Magazine… How time flies…
It has indeed been an honour to be part of the incredible voyage this year braving rough seas, facing
trepidations together with fellow crew members. Reminiscing the time I had during this voyage, I am glad
my team and I have finally reached the end where it is now time for my fellow Lieutenants and I together
with crew members to step down and pass on the mandate to the new Editor to lead his crew and to
continue sailing the ship.
Here, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to fellow crew members who have tirelessly worked
and sacrificed time and effort towards the successful production of this magazine. For without them,
this year’s magazine would not have materialised. Special thanks to our teacher advisor, Pn Jocelyn, who
has coached us throughout our journey making sure our ship stayed on course for the entire journey;
Mr Cheng, our Principal, teacher advisors, teachers, friends and most of all to my parents and family
members for being so supportive and understanding.
This year’s magazine is themed ‘Classic 75’. As year 2007 coincides with the 75th edition of the magazine
as well as the 50th birthday of Malaysia, we wanted a production that would reflect on ACS tradition
that has been by far very outstanding, obviously shown by the personalities and people that ACS has
consistently produced. We hope that aspiring students of this school will continue to keep up this
classic tradition and be future leaders of Tomorrow. In this issue, we also feature four outstanding
former students who have excelled in their chosen careers. We hope that by highlighting these four
personalities, students will be inspired by them to go the distance.
The bittersweet memories I encountered on Board with my team this year as the Editor will remain
forever etched in my memory as it was truly remarkable. Here, I present to you, Classic 75. Lastly, I hope
all of you will enjoy this magazine as much as we have enjoyed producing it. Thank you.
Sailing Towards Excellence.

Held on the 31st of January, this year’s cross
country was a resounding success with strong
support from all ACSians. With participation from
first formers right up to the senior sixth formers,
the event was simply colourful. The race was
flagged off by the principal, Mr Cheng Sai Lak
and hundreds of students dashed for the finishing
point with all they had.
This event really brought out the competitive
side of ACSians and it was a wonderful sight to
see. The 3 kilometre track wasn’t easy for the
participants as certain parts of the track were
covered with mud and water. However, our
young joggers rose to the challenge and pulled
through to finish the race.

ACS Ipoh has a fine, excellent tradition
of staging annual plays as a platform
for her students to participate in
theatrical productions and to show their
creative talents. For our school’s 68th
annual drama production, Rodgers and
Hammerstein’s Flower Drum Song was
the unanimous choice. As the old salts
of the school would remember, Flower
Drum Song was first staged in 1970. This
year’s production was a little different
as Mr Chin Yoong Kim, Mr Chin San Sooi,
and Mr Romesh Roy, three of ACS’s
biggest stage names came together to
bring back Flower Drum Song to the
ACS stage once again. Like previous
plays over the years, Flower Drum
Song was staged for three wonderful
evenings, the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of
March 2007.
Flower Drum Song revolves around an
immigrant Chinese family trying to
find their identity in America. In their
struggle to settle down, a clash of
cultures takes place between Chinese
traditions and modern American
lifestyles. This year’s play brought
back a nostalgic feeling and good old
memories to all who were watching
it. Throughout the three nights, many
esteemed guests and students enjoyed
the fantastic production. In short,
this year’s drama was one of the most
enjoyable and successful plays in ACS
Ipoh’s rich history. The whole cast and
crew had poured their hearts and souls
into making the play a success. And a
success it was. This once again proves
that ACS Ipoh will carry this fine drama
tradition for many years to come. This
school will never be short of talent.
When it comes to producing great plays,
the Music and Drama Society of ACS Ipoh
is always the finest.
ACS Ipoh was very honoured to have
Yang Berhormat Dato’ Ong Ka Chuan,
DPMP, PMP, who is the National MCA
Secretary-General as our Patron and
Guest of Honour for Flower Drum Song.
YB Dato’ Ong Ka Chuan, DPMP, PMP, and
his beautiful wife came for the play on
the 25th of March 2007. He enjoyed
the play so much and was so impressed
with the multi talented cast and crew
that he graciously agreed to donate
RM25,000 for the renovation of our
school’s Auditorium. A big thank you to
YB Dato’ Ong Ka Chuan, DPMP, PMP.

The much anticipated Canteen Day was held on
Friday, the 13th April 2007 and started with our
morning assembly. In his speech, our Head Prefect,
Arvindran a/l Rabinthran, stated that some
proceeds from the Canteen Day would be used
to aid prefects who were facing financial stress.
Tn Hj. Ahmad Zainuddin praised the prefects for
their hard work and our Principal Mr Cheng Sai
Lak stated that the wonderful effort pulled off by
the prefects would give them some experience in
entrepreneurship which could be handy in future.
The guest of honour, the Chairman of the PTA,
Dato’ Dr Balaravi Pillai, DPMP, PMP, AMP, spoke some
encouraging words to the students reminding us
that charity begins at home. To officially declare
the Canteen Day open, a torch run, the first ever
for such an event, was held. It began from the
school canteen and the torch was passed to Dato’
Dr Balaravi who lit the barbeque grill. The guest
of honour was then escorted by the Principal,
Senior Assistants, Head Prefect, and a host of
teachers to the school canteen to inspect the stalls
and have a sumptuous breakfast. The canteen
was open all day to the primary and secondary
students. The prefects handled their duties well
and worked hard to ensure the cleanliness of the
canteen at all times. Canteen Day came to an
end at 4.30 p.m. which marked the beginning of
the tedious job of cleaning up the canteen. The
Prefectorial Board extends its appreciation to all
who supported them.

16th August 2007 is a day to be remembered by many, especially
ACSians. This is the day that gave birth to the country’s largest
‘kolam’. The effort, coordinated by Dr Kathiresan a/l Doraisamy,
the Indian Cultural Society, a group of teachers and students from
all forms especially forms 6AB, 6AE, 6RB, and 6RE, helped generate
a sense of unity among various races in our school and placed ACS
in the Malaysia Book of Records! The ‘kolam’, which measured
73.3 m by 41.3 m, was put together with the cooperation of
about 1700 students and 100 teachers of SMK Methodist ACS Ipoh.
Made from 6200 kg of coloured inedible broken rice glued to 4080
pieces of polystyrene boards to form a ‘Merdeka 50 Years’ logo,
this herculean effort generated RM100, 000 for the school which
will be used to upgrade the school’s facilities. Indeed, the success
of this project has proved that ACS leads the way! A big thank
you to our old salt Balakrishna Balaravi, our PTA Chairman Dato’
Dr Balaravi Pillai’s son, for taking aerial pictures of the ‘kolam’.
On hand to witness this historic event was the Menteri Besar’s
representative Dato’ Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, the Perak State
Executive Committee Member for Education, top officers from
Jabatan Pelajaran Perak and Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah Kinta,
principals from neighbouring schools and representatives from
Malaysia Book of Records.

50 years old was our nation on the 31st of August
2007 and to commemorate this, our school held
a ceremony on the 30th of August 2007. After a
short prayer, the Negaraku was sung as the Jalur
Gemilang was hoisted up. Our Head Prefect then
led us in the Rukunegara. This was followed
by a spirited rendition of ‘Jalur Gemilang’ and
‘Tanggal 31 Ogos’ by teachers and students
led by our school choir. Teachers and students
were seen waving our nation’s flag as they sang.
Following that, speeches by the Ketua Pengarah
Pendidikan Malaysia, Menteri Pendidikan and
the Yang DiPertuan Agong were read out.
Performances soon followed starting with the
charming Joget, the polished Bharathanatyam,
and the enchanting Lantern Dance. ACSians
showed their appreciation by applauding them
loudly. This was followed by the enthusiastic
cries of ‘Merdeka!’. Finally our voices rose as
we sang our School Song. The students then
returned to their classes at approximately 9.35
a.m.

This year our school’s Science, Mathematics,
and the English Departments organized The
PPSMI (Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan
Matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris) Day Camp
for Form 3 students. The camp was held on
Saturday 21st April 2007 beginning at 7.30 am
in the school library with 55 participants. The
students were divided into 10 groups named after
the planets. After the opening ceremony by
Mr Goh Kim Thun, various activities were carried
out-English (by Mr Muzzafar), Mathematics (by
Pn Aishah), and Science (by Mr Yeoh). At noon,
prizes were awarded to the winning teams. The
participants really had fun working as a team.
Before going home at 12.30 p.m., all of them
sang the song “I Have A Dream”.

The ACS Chemistry Camp is without
doubt the first of its kind. Its immediate
objectives were, to bring about
awareness amongst students that
Chemistry could be learnt in a fun
way, and, to give them a deeper
understanding
about
this
central
science. It was the intention and hope
of the organisers that the students would
learn to appreciate the subject and take
more of an interest in it, as they rightly
should.
the 17th of July 2007. The final stage of
the Quiz had in fact taken place a day
earlier. On the morning of the 17th,
the exhibition showcasing the projects
was carried out in magnificent fashion
in the newly decorated Chemistry
Lab. Part of the decorations were
Organic Trees, created by the students
of 6AS. During the exhibition, the
judges viewed each of the projects,
questioning the participants about
them. The exhibition was open to all of
the Upper 6 Science students, who took
turns to view the exhibition according
to their respective classes, during the periods before
recess. The exhibition was carried out the entire day
with Lower 6 Science students viewing the projects
after recess during which the exhibition and projects
were manned by the Lower 6 volunteers who had been
aiding the Upper 6 participants.
The phenomenal success of this camp was
by no means achieved single handedly or
in a short space of time, for Rome was not built in a
day. The camp was a joint effort from many fronts,
the Science and Mathematics Society, the Board of
Student Librarians, the Art Club, the Photography
Club, and the Information and Communication
Technology Board. The working committee itself
comprised the Executive Committee of the Science
and Mathematics Society led by Ng Kit Yin. This
working committee was aided by five representatives
from each of the five Upper 6 Science Stream
classes.
The camp continued after recess with the
presentations. All five Upper 6 Science classes,
together with the judges, took their places in the
Lecture Theatre where the presentations were to be
held. The groups took turns presenting their Power
Point presentations. Five minutes were allocated to
the floor following each of the presentations, enabling
them to ask questions that were subsequently
answered by the participants.
After much deliberation, during which various
ideas were thrown back and forth, three activities
were selected to be carried out during this camp.
The activities, namely Project, Presentation, and
Quiz, were selected to bring out the most of the
participants. It was also decided that the camp would
be a platform for an interclass competition amongst
the Upper 6 Science classes. Prizes would be given
to the most outstanding group in each category. Each
class was to come up with three
different groups to participate
in the three different events.
Each group was also required to
name themselves after catchy
Chemistry
related
subjects,
such as Le Chatelier’s Principle,
Titanium, and Fullerenes.
After the presentations, the camp finally drew to
a close. Win or lose, the participants gained much
from their experience. The general air was one
of satisfaction for everyone was pleased with the
outcome of this camp. Its main objectives had
been successfully executed and
everything had gone according to
plan. It is here we, on behalf of
the entire organising team, would
like to express our many thanks
to all the participants for their
amazing efforts and high spirits.
It is our sincere hope that The ACS
Chemistry Camp will become an
annual event here in ACS Ipoh.
The camp was inaugurated by our
Principal, Mr Cheng Sai Lak on

On the 26th of May 2007, some 40 students along with
2 teachers — Ms Foo Suit Mooi and Mr Goh Kim Thun
— departed on a trip to the Royal Belum State Park. The
trip was organized by the English Language Society’s
Executive Committee, with the help of teacher advisor,
Ms Foo. The majority of the students on the trip were
Form 6’s with a dozen or so Form 5’s. The journey there
wasn’t exciting but nevertheless the ‘excited’ feeling
was inevitable.
As soon as we arrived we were briefed by the
rangers and handed life jackets. The idea that we would
have to swim to the campsite was brought up. But, we
hopped on to boats instead for a fifteen minute ride to
our campsite. For city folks, the site wasn’t enticing
but we adapted. The sight of the long houses was quite
fascinating since most had never seen them for real.
Although some were already missing concrete structures,
most of us were prepared to call the campsite our home
for the next three days.
Credit to our rangers must be given for they had
activities planned from the moment we arrived to the
second we left. After a quick ice breaker session we
were broken into groups, with each choosing an animal
as a group name. Each group member was to be family
for the next few days so we looked out for each other. We
were handed the task of coming up with a group cheer,
logo, motto, flag and a sketch to do with animals.
The rest of the evening was spent playing in the
water. Later, we were given a talk on the park with the
help of a slideshow presentation. We learned quite a
lot about the biodiversity of the park and some of the
pictures of certain rare animals were quite a treat for
the eyes. After the talk, we were taken on a night walk
– with no torch lights or cell phones – into the pitch
black jungle. Everyone was given the chance to admire
nature when we were left alone at certain points. Many
were frightened by the unfamiliar sounds and, quite
oddly, some loved the fact that they were preyed on by
leeches.
Day two was spent visiting the feeding grounds
of elephants, Rafflesia’s and Orang Asli settlements.
We got to hold (and smell!) elephant droppings, see
the ‘carcasses’ of rafflesia flowers and see how the
Orang Asli actually live. In the evening, everyone had
fun kayaking. At this point, we were interrupted by
an uninvited guest – the rain. It rained till night and
amazingly even found its way through the roof . As it
was the final night, we presented our sketches. Some
worked hard and were good, while some didn’t work as
hard and were…
On the last morning, we went jungle trekking.
Each group left at different times and were required to
answer some questions at certain checkpoints. We had
to brave the wet and slippery jungle, then tread water
as part of the course. Every team came out muddy and
no one was spared from the wrath of the leeches. The
last team pulled in after two-and-a-half hours. The last
few hours were spent cleaning.
Finally, everyone bid farewell to the campsite and
we left for the mainland.
The experience was amazing. We got the chance
to bond with nature and each other. We learnt the
importance of teamwork, the necessity of responsibility
and how ignorance does nobody any good. We realised
how beautiful and how important nature really is, and
also how destroying it for development is a cruel act.
Three days with nature really showed us what we were
made off. But most importantly, now we can say: “Put
me in the jungle with no technology and you know what?
I just might survive!”

Mr Wong Man Fatt
Having sailed with ACS on this voyage
for the past 8 years, it is time to bid
adieu to our much respected teacher, Mr
Wong Man Fatt.
Mr Wong is married and blessed
with two sons. One is now working,
having graduated with a degree in
computer science, while the other is
pursuing a degree in the same field
at a local university. Mr Wong had his
primary education at SRJK Wan Hwa,
Menglembu from 1958 to 1963 after
which he went to SMJK Sam Tet, Ipoh
for his secondary education. After his
Sixth Form education at St Michael’s
Institution, Ipoh, Mr Wong went on to
University Malaya to pursue a Science
Degree in 1972. After his scholastic
years, he became a temporary teacher
for about a year and a half at SMJK
Perak Girls’ School, Ipoh from 1975 to
1976 after which Mr Wong returned to
University Malaya to obtain his Diploma
in Education.
Soon after, Mr Wong was posted to SM Dato Kamaruddin,
Batu Kurau near Taiping from 1977 to 1983. He then
spent the next five years teaching in SM Kampar, Kampar
before being transferred to SMJK Ave Maria Convent,
Ipoh in 1989. In 1992, Mr Wong was promoted and served
as Senior Teacher for Science and Mathematics (Guru
Kanan Sains dan Matematik) at SMJK Poi Lam, Ipoh. His
next promotion, in July 1999, was to our school as the
Afternoon Supervisor.
Mr Wong describes ACS as an outstanding school known
for its excellent achievements in various sports and
games. He also notes that our school stages the best
dramas around Ipoh. He is of the opinion that we should
keep this tradition alive and uphold the standards and
qualities that have been passed down to us through the
years. Mr Wong finds ACS a very active and happening
school. Among the many events that he enjoyed are our
Annual Sports Day, celebrating Teachers’ Day, and of
course, our much anticipated annual school drama.
The clean and well-kept landscape of ACS — the big,
shady trees, field, and the other facilities like the
swimming pool and the indoor stadium, captivate Mr
Wong. He thinks the students in this school are generally
polite and well-mannered, and very actively involved in
various sporting events and drama productions. The
students also accomplish a lot academically. The staff
are friendly and cooperative. He will certainly miss the
friendships that he has developed with the teachers
and students throughout his service here.
Mr Wong’s valuable advice to the students of this
school is they should study hard and respect their
teachers and their parents. He also hopes that
the teachers will continue the healthy spirit of
cooperation with one another and to take care
of their health. Lastly, Mr Wong says so long,
farewell and best wishes to the ACS family!
God bless you too, Mr Wong and do take care!

Mr Ho hon yoon
Being in ACS Ipoh, even only for a year and a half
as a Sixth Form student, I would give Mr Ho Hon
Yoon thumbs up for his dedication and tireless
effort to help and teach students to do well
academically.
Born on 22nd December 1951 to a family of 7
brothers and sisters in Kuala Lumpur, Mr Ho is
blessed with two wonderful children, a son, and
a daughter.
Mr Ho began his education in the year 1958 in
Methodist Boys’ School, Kuala Lumpur and spent
13 years there. Brimming with enthusiasm, Mr Ho
secured his first job as a clerk with City Motors,
Kuala Lumpur before furthering his studies in
Universiti Malaya, obtaining his degree followed
by his Diploma in Education.
He began his journey as a teacher in SMK Cheras,
KL as an attachment teacher. He then was placed
in SM Teknik, Jalan Brash, Ipoh (1977) followed
by SMK Aminuddin Baki, Chemor (1989) and
finally he was posted to ACS Ipoh where he has
been serving for the past 15 years.
Mr Ho really appreciates the school building
and its surroundings especially the Form 6 block
because of its high ceilings and solid walls. He
loves teaching in the cool and comfortable
classes. He also feels well loved as he walks
past students along the corridors of the school
because most students are well mannered and
the staff is very supportive.
Since every teacher is teaching to the best
of his or her ability, Mr Ho has set himself an
additional goal of accurately spotting topics
in STPM Chemistry using all his knowledge and
experience. It is still a game to him and, though
he has not perfected it yet, the methods used
can be very scientific.
Every teacher has his or her own share of ups
and downs during their teaching years. For Mr
Ho, his most unforgettable experience would be
teaching a Malay student in 1979. This particular
student is so fond of Mr Ho that he has never
stopped sending him Chinese New Year cards all
these years for the past 20 years. He is currently
working as a civil engineer in a consultant firm
SMK METHODIST (ACS) IPOH
in Petaling Jaya. The cards that came every year
reaffirmed his confidence and convinced him of his
success as a teacher.
Before being posted to teach in ACS, Mr Ho used to
come here every year for the SPM Practical Exam
briefings. He reminisced about teachers waiting
around under the shady trees outside the Chemistry
Lab before adjourning to the Lecture Hall for the
briefing. His favourite place in ACS is undoubtedly
the Chemistry Lab which he found impressive and
has enjoyed teaching in after being posted here.
When asked of his hopes for the school, he said, ‘ACS
is acknowledged as a premier school by JPN Perak
because she deserves it. Let’s be proud of it and
work harder.’ When asked about his future plans, Mr
Ho mentioned that he has reached the next stage
in his life and wants to follow the flow of life and
thoroughly enjoy his retirement.
To Mr Ho, ACS is a spring of youth. It invigorates and
moves him forward. This may be due to his early
education in a Methodist School. Almost all the books
that he has written were done during his tenure in
ACS. He wishes to thank the Principal and other staff
in this school who have given him advice and guided
him in his career. On reflection, he feels that he has
improved by observing and obtaining feedback from
the students he taught. He would like to wish them
all the best.

“Someone once told me that if your students come back and
see you, you are a successful teacher. In that way, I consider
myself a successful teacher”. ~ Pn Puvaneswary
Never could and never will a school year end
with such sadness than 2006 did. Whispers
went around school and before we knew it
the whispers had reached our class. Our class
teacher was leaving! A teacher who was a loyal
servant to the school for almost 15 years was
going on transfer! An educator, whom every
student who had studied under her would refer
to as their mother at school, was leaving! A
teacher who developed a special bond with
every student she taught was going! A woman
who could light up any room she walked into was
about to bid ‘adios’. An open-minded, loving
and caring teacher was about to bid us farewell!
Pn Puvaneswary was leaving us! She was leaving
ACS!
Pn Puvanes found herself back at her ex-school,
ACS. She has been in ACS for almost 15 years.
Being a teacher, Pn Puvanes has learnt to
accept change and now she moves on to SMK
Vivekananda, in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.
Pn Puvanes has been through her fair share of ups
and downs and she credits her “Darling Rascals”
at ACS for keeping her going. Pn Puvanes has
many sweet memories of ACS especially during
her “carefree days as a student” and more so as
a teacher. She will always remember her days
at ACS with feelings of “comfort, security and a
sense of belonging.”
Pn Puvanes feels like she has left a part of
herself at ACS and her sadness at leaving is
matched by her students who will be missing an
excellent educator.
Pn Puvanes was born in Ipoh in the year 1958 as
her parents’ first child. Being the eldest of five
children, 4 girls and a boy, she naturally took
up the responsibility of excelling academically.
One of the reasons Pn Puvanes shares a special
bond with ACS is because she herself was a
student here during her 6th Form. She recalls
being very active in the Debating Society. Pn
Puvanes had ambitions of becoming either an
Archaeologist or a Nuclear Physicist; instead
she chose the noble profession of teaching and
has never looked back since.
As her last message to her students, she reminds
us to “Study Hard! Study well and make ACS
proud. Once an ACSian, Always an ACSian!”
And we couldn’t agree more Pn Puvanes,
“Once you’re an ACSian, You will always be an
ACSian”.
Have you seen the wind?
Neither you nor I,
But when the trees tremble,
You know the wind is passing by.
Pn Puvanes got married in the year 1990, but
unfortunately her husband fell ill a year later.
Pn Puvaneswary
Pn Puvanes began her teaching career on the
25th of April 1983 at SMJK (C) Chung Hwa. She
spent the first 8 years of her life as an educator
there before moving on to Sekolah Tun Syed Shek

HEM di SMK Gunung Rapat dan seterusnya di SMK
Jalan Tasek, Ipoh. Beliau yang juga meminati
Sains Teknologi tidak pernah berhenti untuk
menasihati para pelajarnya supaya mencintai
ilmu dan menghormati orang yang lebih tua.
Beliau percaya bahawa disiplin itu amat penting
sekali dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Selepas itu,
beliau, yang mengidolakan Tan Sri Yahya Sulung
iaitu Pengerusi HICOM — telah ditukarkan ke
SMK Jalan Pasir Puteh dengan jawatan Penolong
Kanan Pentadbiran.
Maka, genap sahaja berusia 7 tahun, En
Abdul Wahid telah didaftarkan ke Sekolah
Rendah Parang Cangkat Bota. Di sana beliau
mendapatkan pendidikan awalnya. Pengalaman
pahit manis semasa mula melangkah ke zaman
persekolahan tidak mungkin akan dilupakannya,
malah akan terus dikenang sepanjang hayat.
Kemudian, En Abdul Wahid menyambungkan
pelajarannya ke Sekolah Menengah Dato’
Ahmad Yaakob Bota Kanan. Di sana beliau
mula mengatur perjalanan dan cita-citanya
untuk menjadi seseorang yang berjaya dalam
kehidupan sebagai seorang guru pembimbing
nusa dan bangsa. Beliau yang meminati subjek
Sains dan Matematik kemudiannya bertukar

Johari, Sungai Petani. Peluang En Abdul Wahid
untuk menjadi seorang guru ternyata cerah
sejak dia bersekolah di sana. Doa ibu bapanya
yang sedikit pun tidak luak menguatkan lagi
semangatnya.
Pada tahun 2006, En Abdul Wahid yang sudah
berkahwin dan mempunyai 5 orang anak telah
berkhidmat di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan

tujunya.”
Walau bagaimanapun, setelah hampir setahun
berkhidmat di ACS, En Abdul Wahid telah
diminta untuk memegang jawatan sebagai
pengetua di SMK Sentosa, Kampar. Sepanjang
perkhidmatannya di sekolah premier ini,
pelbagai pengalaman telah dilalui oleh beliau.
Mengenai perancangan masa depan, beliau
berharap untuk menjadi insan yang sihat,

seterusnya SMK Idris Shah, Gopeng. Selepas
itu, En Abdul Wahid telah menlanjutkan
pelajarannya ke Universiti Utara Malaysia

He has vast experience in the teaching profession having taught in SK Chetok and SK Kelar in Pasir
Mas, Kelantan and, of course, our very own school where he has been diligently serving for the past
19 years.
He is simple but effective in his approach. ‘Give the students the best and hope they will achieve
the most,’ he says. One of his most memorable experiences in ACS was when he first learnt how to
use the computer. He has come a long way and is now acknowledged as one of the indispensable
computer experts in our school. ACS through the years has made an impression on him as a school
with its own unique identity. His sincere hope is that our school will always be able to succeed
in whatever projects that we plan and carry out. His advice to the students is to ‘always do your

S. Ramalingam
Further Mathematics Memorial Prize
Mr S. Ramalingam, armed with double honours degrees in
Science (Mathematics and Physics) from the Universities of Ceylon
and London, left the shores of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1959 on
the invitation of the principal then, Mr Teerath Ram, to teach the
subjects of Mathematics and Physics to Upper Secondary pupils at
the Angol-Chinese School, Ipoh.
During the years between 1959 until be left ACS Ipoh in December
1982 to teach at Sekolah Menengah Selayang Baru in Kuala
Lumpur, Mr Ramalingam nurtured, taught and guided
multitudes of pupils from ACS Ipoh and inculcated
in them a yearning for excellence. He also
sat on the National Board of Examiners
for Mathematics and participated in the
setting of questions for the Higher School
Education certificate examinations and
marking of examinations papers for the
board.
In his twenty four (24) years of service to ACS
Ipoh, Mr. Ramalingam was a familiar figure
walking from his room in the Physics Laboratory
to his various classes. As all teachers of ACS Ipoh, he
took great pride in his teaching and his desire to pass
his knowledge to his pupils was of paramount importance to
him. When the language of his subjects was changed to Bahasa
Malaysia, Mr Ramalingam persevered and learned the rudiments
of the language, sometimes, in all earnestness and humility,
getting his pupils to first explain the intricacies of particular
passages of Bahasa Malaysia that baffled him, so that he could
teach them how to tackle the problem that in turn baffled the
pupils. Mr Ramalingam was strict and gave his full concentration
when giving lessons in the classroom and expected on less of his
pupils. He fiercely guarded the sanctity of his lessons and his
classroom. One distinctive quality of Mr Ramalingam was his
desire to educate his pupils beyond the realm of the syllabus for
Maths and Physics and build the character of his charges. In his
very first year, he picked one of the most reserved pupils in his
class to be the Class Monitor,
and that very pupil became
the owner of a company
listed on the Main Board of
Bursa Malaysia. The countless
number of stories told during
lessons not only enlivened
the classroom but served to
inspire his pupils to be better
and stronger persons. It is this
aspect of his teaching stlye
that most endeared him to his
pupils and marked him as an
extraordinary and dedicated
teacher.
Outside the classroom, as all teachers
are assigned to supervise sporting and
other extra-curricular activities, as the
teacher then assigned to AZIZ House, he
was always jovial and encouraging of
his charges. He was a strong principled
gentleman who was courteous to his
peers, colleagues and his subordinates,
and was well-respected in turn. Duty,
honesty, fairplay and the love for
the Almighty were always
upheld passionately. He was quietly Hindu and practised its tenets
faithfully. He was tough on himself and never compromised his
standard and beliefs.
Mr Ramalingam served at SM Selayang Baru from 1983 until
his retirement in 1986.
Never one for sitting idle, he continued to teach after his
retirement, by giving private tuition often times to sons of his
former pupils; and during his last year, at the age of sevenntythree (73), to his “special” students at the Pure Life Society
orphanage at Jalan Puchong, KL.
Sadly, Mr Ramalingam passed away on 21st November 2004, fondly remembered
by his former pupils and even sons of former pupils whom he tutored in the past.
The idea of a Memorial Prize was first mooted and brought to life by Mr Ramalingam’s
sons, Thilakan and Dr Thanesan and received the support and encouragement of Mr
Ramalingam’s widow, Madam Asaymallar and Mr Ramalingam’s 3 daughters, Pushpa,
Pavala and Tharmy. Mr Ramalingam was a loving but stern husband and father yet
his love for his family and his passion for his work knew no bounds, and the family
recognized his deep-seated love for ACS Ipoh and felt the tie should be perpetuated.
With the kind and gracious assistance, support and cooperation of the ACS Ipoh
Alumni, the school’s Board of Governors, the Headmaster Mr Cheng Sai Lak and
teachers of the school, the Ramalingam family made over to the trustees a challenge
Trophy as well as RM17,000.00, the interest from which is applied to present an
annual cash prize of RM500.00 to the upper six
student of ACS Ipoh who obtains the highest score
in the Further Mathematics subject in the Final Trial
Examination every year. This prize is known as the
“S. Ramalingam Further Mathematics Memorial
Prize” and has thus, far been awarded in 2005
and 2006.

The Sweetest Moment
It was the rainy season. The weather was chillingly
cold. The sound of the clock ticking in the silent
night. The clear and distinct sound of the wind
whispering in my ear. The night before, I was
staring out at the rain with a heavy heart. It was
the end of the world in my mind. Tomorrow is the
day. I’m scared…very scared…and nervous. I can’t
sleep… Then I looked at the clock…it was 3 a.m.
I ran to school…No time to spare. Have to be
there by 8…When I reached the school, I could see
students…students…and more students…
The school was packed. Students wearing jerseys
of their schools. Cheering. Everyone was excited
because it was the finals. I went looking for my
team mates. When I found them, I could see it in
their eyes, they were scared.
“Oh God, I have to sleep now, if not, I won’t have
the strength to take on tomorrow’s challenge… ”
The rest of the team and I entered the school
canteen to loud applause. I couldn’t help grinning
broadly as I saw my gang of friends clapping
for me.
I forced myself to sleep. It was so cold. Still very
worried thinking of all the bad things that could
possibly happen. But it must not bother me. I have
to sleep…
Yang, our team captain, spent the whole of
breakfast urging everyone to eat, while touching
nothing himself. Then he hurried us off to the field
before anyone else had finished, so we could get
an idea of the condition. As we left the canteen,
everyone applauded again,
It is because students get bored during the
holidays that the school decided to organize a
football tournament where all the schools from
the state compete with each other. Winner takes
all, loser takes none. And our school is now in the
finals. Together with SMI. And the final will be held
in our school THE NEXT DAY. So you can imagine
the pressure we were under…
“Ok…no wind to speak of…sun’s a bit bright, that
could impair your vision, watch out for it…ground’s
fairly hard though it rained yesterday, good, that’ll
give us a fast kick-off”.
The SMI team, well-known for having the best
coach in Ipoh, had brought the SMI team to triumph
the last few years. Undefeated. They were very
strong. Never in history had a football match been
approached in such a highly charged atmosphere.
With the finals almost here, tension between the
two teams was at breaking-point…
“Okay, off to the changing room now,” said Yang.
None of us spoke as we changed into our scarlet
jerseys. I wondered if they were feeling like I was,
as though I’d eaten something extremely wriggly
for breakfast. After we pulled on our scarlet
jerseys, we sat down to listen to Yang’s usual pep
talk. Yang cleared his throat for silence.
“Ean, wake up!! It’s 7 already, quick, you have a
match to catch.”
“Okay, men,” he began. “This is it…”
I woke up with blurry eyes. My whole body was
tired. Aching. I had overslept! Maybe it was
because of the weather. I sprang out of my bed. I
hurried and got dressed. I was in such a hurry I did
not even brush my teeth. I drank my cup of Milo
and took off.
“The big one,” said Lucas.
“The one we’ve all been waiting for,” said Colt.
“We know Yang’s speach by heart,” Lucas told me.
“We were in the team last year.”
“Bye Mom, I’m off to school now. Wish me luck!”
“Oh shut up, you two,” said Yang. “This is the best
team ACS’s had in years. The SMI team has a better
coach than us, no point denying it. But we have

types of weather…”

Chad of SMI tearing up the pitch…WHAM!…nice

by Lucas, ACS back in possession, come on…nice

“Too true,” muttered Colt. “I haven’t been properly
dry since August.”
In what seems like no time at all, Yang was
saying,
Lucas punched the air as he ran around the end of
the field; the sea of scarlet above was screaming
its delight.
“Ok, it’s time, let’s go…”
“OUCH!”
We walked out on to the field to a tidal wave of
noise. Half the crowd was wearing scarlet jerseys,
waving scarlet flags with the ACS logo upon them
or brandishing banners such as
Lucas was on the ground as Murray went smashing
into him.
“Sorry!” said Murray, as the crowd booed.
“GO ACS!” and “ACS FOR THE CUP!”
“Sorry, didn’t see him!”
Behind the SMI goalpost, they were wearing green,
with the SMI logo on their flags, the coach sat in
the very front row, wearing green, like everyone
else, and a very grim smile.
The next moment, Colt had chucked his boots at
Murray’s face. Murray’s nose, smashed by the boot
began to bleed.
“And here is the ACS! team” yelled Mouth, who was
acting as the commentator as usual.
“That will do” shrieked Mr Abtar, zooming between
them.
“Yang, the team leader, and his team widely
acknowledged as the best side ACS has seen in a
good few years…”
“Penalty to ACS for an unprovoked attack on the
SMI forward! Penalty to SMI for deliberate damage
to the ACS forward!”
Mouth’s comments were drowned by a tide of
“boos” from the SMI end.
“Come on” howled Colt, but Mr. Abtar blew his
whistle and Lucas move forward to take the
penalty.
“And here comes the SMI team, lead by Captain
Murray. He has made some changes in the line-up
and seems to be going for size rather than skills.”
“Come on, Lucas,” yelled Mouth into the silence.
“YES HE’S BEATEN THE KEEPER! TWO - ZERO TO
ACS!!”
More boos from the SMI crowd. I, however,
thought Mouth had a point. The whole team was
enormous.
I turned to watch as Murray, still bleeding freely,
moved to take the penalty. Yang was in front of
the goal post, his jaw clenched.
“Captains, shake hands!” said Mr. Abtar Singh.
Yang and Murray approached each other and
grabbed each other’s hand very tightly; it looked
as though each was trying to break the other’s
fingers.
“Yang is a superb keeper!” Mouth told the crowd,
as Murray waited for Mr Abtar’s whistle.
“Superb! Very difficult to pass…very difficult
indeed…YES!! I DON’T BELIEVE IT! HE’S SAVED IT!!”
“Are you ready?” said Mr. Abtar.
“Three…two…one…” The sound of his whistle
was lost in the roar from the crowd.
“ACS in possession, no, SMI in possession…no!!
ACS back in possession and its Ean, he’s streaking
up the picth…THAT WAS DELIBERATE!!”
“And it’s ACS in possession, Lucas of ACS with the
ball, heading straight for the SMI goalpost, looking
Tom, a SMI forward, had run in front of me,

Mr Abtar’s whistle rang out again as he come over
to Tom and began shouting at him. A minute later,
I had put another penalty past the SMI keeper.
At that time I realized that I was alone at the SMI
side. I was the only one who could win this game.
Without thinking, I ran towards the SMI goal post.
Murray was right behind me. All eyes were on me.
Clock was ticking. As I was about to kick the ball,
Murray came smashing into me. I fell. He took the
ball. I felt like the whole world was falling on me.
I had the one and only chance…one shot…one
opportunity…to win this game, but I let it slip
away.
“THREE-ZERO!! TAKE THAT, YOU DIRTY, CHEATING
COCONUT!!!”
“Mouth, if you can’t commentate in an unbiased
way...”
“I’m telling it like it is, teacher!!”
But, Lucas came from behind and intercepted
the ball. He passed it to me. “Go for it!!” I was
scared.
I felt a huge jolt of excitement.
“And it’s ACS in possession again, and as Lucas
takes the ball…Murray alongside him…poke him
in the eye, Lucas!!!…It was a joke teacher, it was a
joke…oh no…Murray in possession, come on, now,
YANG…SAVE!!”
I was nervous. If I were to miss this, the whole
world kill me.
“GO!!!!” The crowd was cheering…”
But Murray had scored. There was a huge cheer
from the SMI end and Mouth swore so badly that
the teacher had to tug the microphone away from
him.
GO! GO! GO!”
I turned around, looked at the keeper. I ran towards
him and kicked the ball as hard as I could.
“Sorry, teacher, sorry!! Won’t happen again! So, ACS
in the lead, three to one”.
Time stood still…………
Suddenly Yang was speeding towards me, halfblinded by tears, seized me around the neck and
sobbed unrestrainedly on my shoulder. I felt two
large thumps as Colt and Lucas hit us, then their
voices,
It was turning into the dirtiest match I’d ever
played. Enraged that ACS had taken such an early
lead, the SMI team was resorting to any means
to take the ball. Murray hit Colt and tried to say
he’d thought he was the ball. Lucas elbowed
Murray on the face again. Mr. Abtar rewarded
both teams penalties, and Yang pulled off another
spectacular save, making it four-one to ACS. Almost
30 minutes had passed. 5 more minutes left. The
score was four-four. The ACS team was losing their
concentration. It was because SMI played so dirty.
Penalties were everywhere.
“We’ve won the Cup! We’ve won the Cup!!”
Tangled together in a many-armed hug, the ACS
team sank, yelling, back to earth. Wave upon wave
of crimson supporters were pouring over the barrier
onto the field. Hands were raining down on my
back. Bodies were pressing in on me. Thrust into
the light, I saw Kwok Yii, our head prefect, jumping
up and down like a maniac, all dignity forgotten.
The teachers were sobbing harder even than Yang,
wiping their eyes with an enormous ACS flag, and
there, fighting their way towards me, my bunch of
friends. Words failed them. They simply beamed,
as Yang went up stage, where the Principal stood
waiting with the enormous Cup.
“YOU CHEATING SCUM!”
Mouth was howling into the microphone, dancing
out of the teacher’s reach.
“YOU FILTHY CHEATING……………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The teacher didn’t even bother to tell him off. She
was shaking her fist in the SMI’s direction, and she,
too, was shouting furiously.
A sobbing Yang passed me the Cup, and as I
lifted it into the air, I felt that was the sweetest
moment.
“Go! Go! Go!” I urged myself.

The Sweetest Moment
by Dahineswary d/o Rajamanickam (6AE)
“Wake up!” instructed an inner voice. Almost
instantaneously her hand reached for the alarm
clock. Funny, how it does not have to be told
what to do : as though her whole system had
been programmed. Switching the alarm clock
off, she turned to face the cream-coloured wall
as her bed, accordingly, squeaked a little. She
felt the roughness of the wall with her finger
tips. Like other worldly things, she reminded
herself, beauty is indeed strange. Whoever
who would have thought under the mellow
appearance of the wall lay a hideous quality.
Reflecting, she thought, her own life : never had
anyone mentioned the absolutely hectic life of
a third year medical student. All she had ever
heard of was the glam one would get once a
medical degree is in one’s hands.
it was enough. As the gleeful beams of sunlight
voluntarily danced its way to the room’s floor,
her feet left it. Clad in a pretty purple floral
dress, with her white coat and stethoscope
dutifully hung on her right shoulder, she inhaled
a deep breath to get through another ordinary
day, or so she thought.
At the campus, the sights and sounds of the
morning began to take effect. Among the
undergraduates it was astonishing to find no
sign of people in a sleepy haze in the wee
hours, yearning to be back in the sweet comfort
of their bed. Their faces shine; either with
intellect or the joy of attaining it, or both.
However what delighted her the most about
her current situation was that they were now
considered students of the hospital rather than
the classrooms. She still remembers the grin on
her face when she learned this. Hospital still
remains the only place she wants to be. Her
passion towards its inhabitants is not something
she could possibly pen down. Today, as it is in her
schedule, she would be taken to the gynecology
department. Ah, the excitement! Also, if she
were lucky enough, she might witness the birth
of a child. As usual, she did her homework:
to study the patient. It was a rather unusual
case where the patient refused to undergo a
Caesarean section even after advised to do
so: her doctor suspeced her birth canal was
blocked, but the poor mother insisted that she
should be conscious to hear her baby’s first cry.
Many would classify that act as ridiculous. But
she personally thought it was a very brave act;
an honorable one too; a sacrifice for the unborn;
love for the unseen. Simply beautiful.
Cheap things are never good and good things
are never cheap, she assured herself. Again,
she turned. This time to face her roommate’s
neatly done bed. “That energetic creature!”
she scowled. Knowing it was the wrong time
to contemplate, she got up. It felt as though it
would take every muscle in her body to actually
stand up. Is it that sinful to have neglected
proper sleeping hours? She left that question to
hover in the air and stood up anyway. The bright
pink, warm, tempting comforter was thrown to
the side of the wooden bed as she placed both
her frail feet on the icy cold floor. The chill of it
cut through her like a sharpened knife. But she
was mentally prepared for this.
Ignoring the temptation to immediately snuggle
back under the comforter like a snail would into
its shell, she headed to the common bathroom.
As the shimmering water droplets harshly
brushed her skin, her thoughts wandered off
again. She thought about how even its wall’s
fading yellow paint never did once fade her
ambitions, this already being the third year
facing it. Insignificant. Everything she could
and wanted to see was her mother’s proud
smile when she received that scroll on her
upcoming graduation day. And the thought of

As she walked deeper into the huge white
building’s mouth, she passed people of all
shapes and sizes and colours who were seen
scattered about the area, indulging in various
activities. That is one thing she is grateful for
about her birthplace; for its true display of unity
in diversity, which many other nations could only
visualize. The clattering of trays and trolleys

brought her back to her senses. She quickened
her pace whilst smiling at everyone she met on
the way, silently embracing their friendliness.
Along the way was a wheel-chaired kid whom
she greeted with an even wider smile and a
gentle pat on his cheek. He had only months
left, and yet never lost the shine in his eyes.
Talk about wonders! When she arrived at the
operation theatre, the surgeon of the day had
already gotten into a light green suit, ready for
the delivery. She forced an apologetic smile and
hurriedly got into her suit as he drew closer. He
took her hand gave it a firm shake. “Hello Mia.
Let’s welcome another occupant to the world!”
he had said half-jokingly.
Overwhelmed, she pushed till the whole of the
baby was out. A single tear ran down the father’s
cheek and he quickly wiped it. “Beautiful baby
girl you have here!” the doctor said , “And a
healthy one too”. For the first time she saw,
the mother smile. It spoke of pride and triumph
and accomplishment. A feeling of strength, an
inner one, which had to be experienced to be
understood. Her devoted husband kissed her
again, this time on her forehead. They locked
their hands together momentarily. Everything
about the moment seems right. Perfect. When
a nurse brought the baby back to her mother
she took her in her slender arms and kissed her
cheeks. Very emotional. Very personal. As if
she had forgotten how, just minutes ago, she
was scraping her way through.
Almost immediately she heard a woman’s cry
in the next room, which was separated from
them by a curtain. Right away, they pushed
it open to find the patient’s face all scrunched
up in pain. She was in her late twenties. Dark
haired, big-eyed, pretty, she thought. At her
bedside was a man, whom she deduced to be her
husband- also in his late twenties. The charm
on his face was hidden by his anxiety. As they
went in, he nodded at them hastily. “Ahhhh!”
she let out another cry and his face too twisted
with pain. Startled, she worked her way beside
the doctor. “You are doing fine, keep on trying,
breathe out,” the doctor’s voice was calm. And
with that she tried again. Beads of sweat were
decorating the husband’s forehead. He grasped
her hand tighter. She looked up and attempted
a smile, but to no avail. He smiled too, which
spoke a thousand words neither she nor the
doctor could make head or tail of. And the
beauty lies within.
Mia was astounded. Not that she had not
heard of the wonders of child-birth and all the
emotions behind it but, having to witness one,
was simply marvelous. The obvious love between
the couple told her they would build a beautiful
family. She realised how love grows wings to
hearts, feeble wings but wings, how hope gets
the soul moving. And the thought of it brought
a smile to her face. “Sweeter than the sweetest
candy,” she heard her childish mutter. “You said
something?” asked the doctor, winking. “No,”
she lied smiling. He replied with a similar smile
and said, “Go get a cup of coffee and get ready
to go for rounds”.
As she walked down to the cafeteria,
accompanied by the clicks of her heels, she was
still thinking of the fragile moment. She know
she would see more of it and excitement ran
down her spine. She drew closer to the cafeteria.
The smell of breakfast drifted down, the aroma
of mom’s home-made nasi lemak. The people
she saw earlier were still around, still indulging
in their own business, totally unaware we had
just welcomed another inhabitant to share their
supply of oxygen. That is how it was like in the
hospital. But she loved it to pieces. This is
where I belong, she told herself. As she settled
down on her chair, inhaling the smell of fresh
coffee brewing, she looked at her reflection on
the table, as it beamed back at her.
It has been an hour, and the soon-to-be mother
is still battling with all her might armoured with
her husband’s love. His blue shirt had turned
transparent with sweat but that did not seem to
bother him . He bent down to kiss his wife’s hand,
trying unsuccessfully to ease her pain. She kept
on pushing, for what seemed like an eternity.
And finally, they saw it: the child’s head. “Come
on darling, try harder!” he urged. She nodded
and did just as told. Slowly, that tiny head
made it’s way out and let out a newborn’s cry.

So, I braved myself to approach her. I was very
shy as I am one of those people who prefer
to keep to themselves, or more specifically,
an introvert. At that moment, my heart was
beating wildly. My mind was racing to and
fro wondering how to start a conversation
with her as I always had problem talking face
to face with another person, especially if that

interested in any girl as long as I was studying in
school. That day, I had to break my promise as
I had already fallen head over heels for her. I
knew that I must get to know her. At least I had
to make friends with her.
��
Every person has their sweetest moment. I am
without exception. My sweetest moment was
when a sweet girl of the same age accepted
my invitation for a date. This happened two
years ago when I was in Form 3. I know I am
not saintly or handsome . All I had, which I think
was attractive to her, was my simple self and of
course my frankness.
Thus, when I held out my hand to her, I somehow
manage to say a few words. I remember that
I uttered “Hi, I am Lawrence. What is your
name?” in a quivering voice. And she replied,
“I am Alice”. She shook my hand. Wow!! That
tender touch of hers really brightened up my
day as I had been feeling a little bit sick earlier. I
felt like I was in cloud nine. My friend’s birthday
party day still lingers in my mind till today as the
day I found someone that really moved my
heart so much.
It all happened so suddenly. I met this girl at a
friend’s birthday party. On that day, she was
wearing a beautiful pink dress with a flowery
hem. My first glance and I had a crush on her
already. I had never seen someone so beautiful
before. Everything about her was perfect. I
liked her beautiful long hair. It was so natural
and at every turn of the stand fan at my friend’s
house, her hair blew in rhythmic tandem. This
made me want to compose a love song to
accompany the sight.
That night, I couldn’t sleep well. All night long, I
was thinking about her. It was just like a movie
being played over and over again, in my mind.
I was afraid that I had really fallen in love with
her and knew my life would never be the same
again.
Her eyes were like two dark, shiny pearls that
glowed very brightly in the darkness. Her nose
was just nice because it was not too broad or
too high. Her teeth were simply lovely. It was
arranged in a perfect row. I assumed she must
have kept her teeth very well indeed because it
was gleaming white. Her height was about 1.7
meters, slightly shorter than me by about a few
centimeters. To me, it was okay for a girl. When
she smiled at me, my heart simply couldn’t
stop thumping. All this while, I thought I would
never be attracted to any girl because of my
studies, but now it was not so. I remembered
I had promised my parents I would never be

After that day, I started to be more conscious
about myself. I know that if I ever had the
chance to date her, I had to be at my best. I
started by reading books about what girls like
most in a man and also about how to talk with
girls. Next, I changed my lifestyle. For example,
whenever I combed my hair, I would be really
careful that every strand of my hair was in place.
And my clothes would be constantly updated
as I did not want to look bad in other people’s
eyes, especially now. She was the darling of my
eye and I just couldn’t stop picturing her in my
mind. I know all these changes were a result of
meeting her at my friend’s birthday party.

However, there was still one thing I had
forgotten to ask her as I was too nervous. I had
yet to get her hand phone number, address
and her e-mail address. So, I decided to ask my
friend for her e-mail, her hand phone number
and address as he was the one who invited
me to his birthday party. My friend laughed
at me and asked whether I had fallen in love
with her already. I replied, “No, just interested
in becoming friends with her. So, can I have her
contact number now?” Well, he laughed loudly
but, nevertheless, gave me her hand phone
number, e-mail and address.
One thing was sure, if I did not try, I would lose her
to another person. And so, I made up my mind
to phone her one Saturday morning. When
she lifted up the phone, I quickly introduced
myself. Then, I uttered those words slowly, softly
and surely, “Would you like to go out for a date
with me tonight?” My heart was beating madly
while I waited for a reply. She paused for a
while and then she answered, “Sure, why not?
What time will you fetch me?” My heart nearly
dropped and time seemed like it had stopped
just so that I could savour the sweetness of the
moment!.
Now, with her particulars in the palm of my
hand, I pondered on my next step. This was
because any mistake would be ‘goodbye’ to
my sweet dreams. Finally, I decided to send her
a greeting card when it was nearing Christmas.
In that card, I wrote as casually as possible, so
as not to arouse her suspicions that I secretly
admired her. Then, I messaged her through my
hand phone and asked her which church she
went to. To my surprise, she even invited me to
her youth group. Thus, I joined the youth group
in her church. During that time, I was careful
not to show too much affection towards her. It
was just like fishing, a passtime that I love doing
besides playing chess. It was indeed thrilling to
feel that bite on the bait. But then, one had to
have patience to wait for that tug before pulling
in the fishing fod. Or else, all efforts would be
wasted, for to get the same fish again would be
next to impossible. This totally reflects the things
I had been doing all the while I was with her.
That night, I was at my best. And wow, she was
amazingly beautiful in her red dress. I felt like I
was going out with a fairy. I thought that I was
the luckiest guy of all as it was her first date and
mine too. One more thing, we had our first kiss
that day. The first kiss between us was incredibly
sweet althought both of us were inexperienced
in that area. I hoped that night would last
forever but sadly, like all good things, it had to
come to an end.
A few weeks after that, she called me asking
for a break up. The reason was that her parents
would prefer her to concentrate on her studies
instead of going dating with guys. My heart felt
like it was torn to pieces. It was really painful.
I wondered whether I could ever find such a
girl again in my lifetime. Nevertheless, I had
to accept it. The good thing was that we still
reminded good friends. Also, as we helped one
another in our studies, both of us did amazingly
well. As least something good came from that
break up.
As time went by, I could see that she did enjoy
my company. Further more, we could laugh
together without the usual feelings between
boys and girls. I felt that now was the time to ask
her out for a date. But, I was not one hundred
percent sure she would accept my invitation. I
was pretty scared that my natural looks would
work against me. My face was filled with those
ugly pimples that grow like mushrooms after
the rain. Another thing, I was not sure that
what came out from my mouth would be clear
enough to win her trust and a life long friendship.
I was known to stutter in times of intense pressure
like when I was doing my oral presentation
in front of the class. Besides, she had many
admirers and I was only one of them.
One thing never ends. And it is the memory of
the sweetest moment that I had with her while
we were dating. That memory of her will be
forever etched into my mind. Also, whenever
I feel down, just remembering of that first date
with her would bring cheer and comfort to
my soul. The experience of having been in
love made me a more mature person. I had
learned that life would still to go on even when
circumstances change. Now, whenever I can,
I always give thanks to God for what He did.
It reminds me of a scripture verse in the Bible
taken from 1 Thessalonians 5 : 17 which says,
“In every circumstance, give thanks, for such is
God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
“What we are is God’s gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.”

Water
by Gokilen s/o Nadarasa
Water resources must be carefully looked after and used because they sustain life. All living things,
including man, will die if there is no water. About three quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered
with water. Human beings, animals and plants cannot live without water. Water is also a habitat
for a large variety of animals and plants. The scientific name of water is hydrogen hydroxide (H2O)
which means one molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
This compound is important in the daily life of all living things. So, water is one of the essentials of
survival.
About 70% of the human body consists of water. The main component in our body is water.
We need water for maintaining the hydration of tissues in the body. Besides, water acts as a
transport medium for nutrients within the body and helps to remove waste materials from the
body. Evaporation of water from the body cools the body and maintains its temperature. Water is
required to digest food and transport the digested food to the cells of the body, and for all chemical
processes in the cells such as respiration and burning glucose in the cells for energy. Even animals
such as earthworms need water to maintain the shape and support their body. Aquatic animals,
such as fish, whales, prawns and cockles cannot live without water.
Human being also use water for turning turbines and dynamos in hydroelectric stations to generate
electricity. Other than that, water is needed to separate tin ore from earth in a ‘palung’. Car
radiators also need water in their cooling system. Rivers and seas are used in transporting goods
and people. Humans use water everyday for washing, bathing and cooking. Plants also need water
or they will wither and die, Seeds do not germinate without water. Green plants need water to
make food in sunlight. Water transports food from the leaves to other parts of the plants. Water
cools the plants during transpiration.
The often quoted slogans ‘conserve water’ and ‘cut down on water wastage’ may have become
cliches but the fact remains that water is the elixir of life. Malaysia has always taken this priceless
commodity for granted and it was not until the country experienced an acute water shortage two
years ago that the truth began to sink in. Threats of water rationing and water cuts were the wakeup calls to Malaysians not to waste water. Brickbats were thrown at the authorities for their failure
in arresting the problem through vigilant planning, maintenance and usage of water.
Our main source of the water, be it from dams, rivers or catchment areas is the bountiful sky juice.
Rainwater that falls on higher ground, also known as catchment areas, flows into reservoirs. Rain
and snow are key elements in the Earth’s water cycle, which is vital to all life on earth. Rain is in
many ways a valuable resource and is trapped as little droplets of moisture in the clouds, before they
drop as rain. Rainfall is the main way in which the water in the skies comes down. It is the rain and
our lakes and rivers, that recharge the underground sources of water and provides for plants and
animals. In any hot and dry country, rain is always welcomed. It is no wonder that Red Indians were
known to do a rain dance to pray for rain. In many Asian countries, as in Malaysia and India, there
are many songs, dances and stories about rain. The farmers in Malaysia welcome rain as it means
that it is time to start planting again. The rainy season also signals a time for a change.
Rain, however, does not fall in the same amounts throughout the world or even in different parts
of a country. In some years there is more rain and some years there is less. Often, typhoons,
hurricanes, tornados, and tsunamis are accompanied by too much rain and floods. Conversely, too

little or no rain, may give rise to droughts and water shortages. In both these instances, there will
be destruction - damage to life, crops and property. In the east coast of Malaysia, there is often too
much rain during the monsoons. Severe flooding leads to the closing of schools and the relocation
of people living in the low-lying areas to safer areas. The fishermen will also not venture out to sea
and hence their income will be badly affected.
Rain may also fall as acid rain. Acid rain refers to all types of precipitation that contain harmful
chemicals from factory gases. This is one of the examples of water pollution. Water pollution
occurs when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of material
to the water. The sources of water pollution are categorised as being a point source or a non-point
source of pollution. Point sources of pollution occur when the polluting substance is emitted directly
into the waterway. A pipe spewing toxic chemicals directly into a river is an example. A non-point
source occurs when there is runoff of pollutants into a waterway, for instance, when fertilizer from
a field is carried into a stream by surface run off.
Toxic substances are water pollutants. A toxic substance is a chemical pollutant that is not a
naturally occurring substance in aquatic ecosystems. The greatest contributors to pollution occurs
when inorganic pollutants such as nitrogen phosphate accumulates in aquatic ecosystems. This
may cause an overgrowth of plants and algae and they become organic material in the water.
Thermal pollution can occur when water is used as a coolant near a power or industrial plant. This
pollution can lead to a decrease in the dissolved oxygen level in the water while also increasing the
biological demand of aquatic organisms for oxygen.
So, our natural resources must be looked after and used carefully because life on Earth depends
on them. Unfortunately man’s activities are fast destroying these resources. Water must be
protected through preservation, conservation and recycling. Water is essential for our good health.
This is why polluted water can cause sickness. Therefore, people must ensure our water is always
clean, clear and plentiful. Also, we should avoid excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides on plants.
Chemical wastes from factories should be treated before release into rivers and seas. Sewage
should also be treated and prevented from contaminating water.
At home, we should cut down on water wastage. We should use water from a pail to wash our
vehicles instead of from a hose. Using water from a hose actually means letting the tap run for a
long time. However, using two or three pails of water to wash vehicles only takes up a fraction of
that amount the water. Similarly, we should use a watering can to water our plants or lawns instead
of using the hose. It is also advisable to water our plants and lawns very early in the morning or late
in the evening to reduce the amount of water lost through evaporation.
We should dispose of our rubbish in the proper way by placing rubbish in bins or by burying it. We
should refrain from throwing rubbish into drains and rivers because this will pollute our sources of
drinking water. Collecting rainwater, which can be used for household cleaning such as mopping,
washing clothes and others, is yet another way of conserving this priceless commodity. Using the
dual-flushing system, that is, using the mini flush for short calls and the normal flush for long calls,
can save many liters of water. So can using the shower instead of filling up the bath tub when taking
baths. In addition, we should report any acts of water pollution to the Department of Environment.
From the cradle of civilization, man has depended on water. It is only when our taps run dry and we
have to queue up with buckets in hands and later lug the buckets back to our homes that we realize
that water conservation is not merely an option but a necessity. Substantisal water saving has to be
made in households. Wasteful habits must cease and reckless development has to be controlled if
we do not want a repeat of water cuts and water rationing.

Four Way Test Award Winning Essays
It has been 20 years since his dear old
father passed away. Ah Jun could still
remember every single word his father
had uttered to him during his final hours as
a human being walking this earth. The truth
in each word could not be denied at all.
Even to this very day, Ah Jun still cannot
believe that the truth in his father’s
words was so simple yet profound and
meaningful. In short there were just four
simple statements that had helped Ah Jun become
a better person and build his global empire selling
nasi lemak. Ah Jun can be described as the
typical Malaysian success story and he was just
at the ripe young age of 27. This young man has
graced the front cover of leading international
magazines and was in the list of Time’s 100 most
influential people and Forbes’s rich list. He was
one of the most powerful businessmen and he was
Malaysia’s pride and glory in terms of success.
Whenever he was interviewed and asked about
his recipe for success, he would just list four
statements, statements which many people
could not understand. “Ahhhh….the old Four
Way Test, never has it once failed or disappointed
me” Ah Jun thought to himself as he sat in his
grand office. There was a smile on his face, and
a single tear drop ran down his left cheek as he
thought of how he came to know about those
four statements. He looked at the photograph
of him and his father which was framed up in his
office, and soon memories of the past started to
flood his mind.
the luxuries that his family had never even
dreamed of before. His family was soon
basking in comfort, thanks to his secret
work. People say that money is the root of
all evil and it proved very true in Ah Jun’s
father’s case. The flow of more money
and the promise of more wealth were
very pleasing. When asked about the
extra income, he simply lied by saying
h e
was only working harder and his efforts
were rewarded. His wife’s curiosity was killed off
when he presented her with the jewels that she
had always wanted. Ah Jun’s father was blinded
by greed, and he soon became one of Malaysia’s
most sought after drug traffickers.
Ah Jun’s father soon started spending more time
away form his family because the call of money
was far too great to be ignored. He was mixing
with the wrong company as all the mafia and
gangsters were his regular customers. Little did
Ah Jun know that the drugs he supplied were
destroying the nation’s youth. But he could not
care less about the welfare of other people just
so long as he made all the money he wanted.
The way he earned money was not honest and
fair. While he was so busy trafficking drugs, his
family had begun to slip out of his heart. One
day when he least expected it, the police caught
him while he was on his way to make a drug deal.
When she discovered about his illegal dealings, Ah
Jun’s mother decided to leave her husband. The
police soon had complete control over his bank
accounts and his physical possessions. He saw his
family disintegrate and his wealth disappear right
before his eyes. It was then that he realized his
mistakes — but it was a little too late.
There’s an ocean’s difference when it comes to
comparing him and his father in terms of being a
good and noble person. Ah Jun had all the qualities
that God desires in a man whereas his father was
a horrible crook who fought tooth and nail to
win all the time. Ah Jun had always respected
his father as a guardian but never respected the
way in which his father provided for his family, a
way that would one day cost him and his family
dearly. Ah Jun’s father started off quite humbly
and first started working as an apprentice to a
blacksmith. Desperate to earn more money, his
father soon got himself into drug trafficking. Little
by little, day by day his father made more and
more money. Soon enough, he was able to afford

Ah Jun’s father was charged in court for breaching
many laws. There was no way that he could
escape. Even when he was arrested, he knew
that he was going to be sent to the gallows. He
was sobbing all alone by himself in the courtroom
when the charges were read out. Even the best
lawyers could not find a way to save him. While in
prison, Ah Jun’s father thought about all the bad
things he had done. While serving time, a priest
one day came to see him. The priest had with
him a pamphlet which he gave Ah Jun’s father

to read. Ah Jun’s father was surprised to hear
about the Four Way Test. He began to question
himself, about the bad things he had done as
drug trafficker. The truth about his business was
not true at all. He had lied to his family about
all the extra money. Moreover, his work was
not clean and honest. He made a lot of dirty
money by selling drugs, an offense which was
punishable by death. Therefore, it was not fair
to others who were out there trying to earn a
living through simple but honest means. It was
not fair for his family either when he lied to
them as they deserved to know the truth about
his extra income.
It was time for our Science
lesson and all of us sat at
our respective seats awaiting
the arrival of our teacher, Mrs
Ding. Her brisk footsteps could
be heard from a distance. As
she entered the class, we
stood up silently and wished
her before taking our seats. She
announced that the Science Exhibition will be
held in two weeks time. She demanded the
participation of every pupil and wanted us to
be in groups of five. Without any grumbling,
a list of names reached her hands. We watched
as her steady hand began writing the rules and
regulations on the white board. She explained
each and every rule sternly and warned us not
to steal other pupil’s ideas as a heavy penalty
will be given to anyone who attempts to commit
this crime.
When death awaits you, all you can do is
spend time thinking and wondering whether
you have been good enough to deserve entry
through heaven’s gates. That was all Ah Jun’s
father could do while waiting to be sent to the
gallows. He was sitting in a corner wondering
whether his dealings ever built any goodwill and
better friendships. “Obviously they did not” he
thought to himself. “How could it ever have
done any good?” he said to himself. The drugs
he sold were used for horrible purposes and
they destroyed the community around him. For
company, he had the mafia and gangsters. He
realized that no real and true friendships were
built. He only made fake friends who wanted to
exploit him and use his position. Upon realizing
the truth, he broke down and cried. His whole
life was questioned with just these four simple
statements.
I was grouped with my best classmates and I was
sure we would work perfectly well together. We
divided the work load among ourselves as the
deadline was next week. We had to rush through
our project. I was assigned to design our exhibit
thus my idea would be the spark that started
the fire in our group. I asked for a day’s time to
finish my task. Granted the time, I didn’t waste
the opportunity to show off my capabilities. I
designed a miniature water reservoir. It was a
superb design and my team mates approved of
the moment they saw it. I was so happy and
relieved that my workload was slowly starting
to decease. My leader wanted to have a break so
we left our master piece and went for a drink at
the cafeteria.
Ah Jun had come to see his father one last time
before he was sent to the gallows. His wife
however, was no where to be seen. Ah Jun’s
father decided if any last message should be
passed to his son it would be about the Four Way
Test and the words “I love you and I’m sorry”.
Both father and son shared a very touching
moment but Ah Jun knew that his father would
come through in the end. He promised his
father that he would fully understand and carry
the message with him throughout his life.
We continued our work as soon as we finished
our tea break. Many things had to be done and
our endurance was put to the test. We managed
to complete the exhibit just in time! The exhibit
was not the only thing as our homework needed
our attention. As a result we had only an average
of three hours of sleep per day. On the day of
the exhibition, we were placed in a corner of the
exhibition hall. Our exhibit was one of the last

he put down the photograph.

exhibits to be displayed for exhibition. All of us,
especially me, had butterflies in our stomachs.
decision final. However, being an ethical person,
Mr Tan chose not to do so.
Before the judges started to view our exhibits, I got
the shock of my life! I managed to spot a similar
design, an uncanny resemblance to my masterpiece.
I wanted to scream in frustration when I heard the
compliments given to that group. I informed my
group members about this and they were fuming.
We wanted to inform Mrs Ding about this but we
doubted we would receive any help. The situation
was intense as we could sense defeat. All we could
do was watch. We had no fighting chance. Without
any evidence, our accusations would merely fall on
deaf ears. We would not be able to argue with the
judges as their decision would be final.
The champions were called in for a meeting with
us. As we discussed the matter, Mr Tan wrote four
questions on the whiteboard. The questions were
short but meaningful.
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
All of a sudden, May, my best friend burst into
tears. She cried, telling us everything. She said
that the opposing team won because of a crime
she committed. She admitted that her actions
were not fair to all concerned. She stole my idea
and made a copy of my masterpiece when my team
mates and I went for our break the other day. She
answered all the questions on the whiteboard one
by one. She said that her actions were wrong and
it would be best if she told the truth to everyone.
She did not want our friendship to end because
of her actions. She knelt in front of me abruptly
and pleaded with me to forgive her. I asked her to
stand up, calmed her down, and advised her not
to repeat her mistakes. I did not blame her. She
said that it would be beneficial to both parties
for the truth to be known. Was I glad that truth,
finally, prevailed! Mr Tan changed the results of
the competition and we emerged winners of the
exhibition. Mr Tan informed us that we will be
receiving certificates and a challenge trophy in
appreciation for all our hard work.
“Ryan, come on! Let’s finish what we started. We
can still win if we present it well enough. Don’t
give up! I am counting on you. You are the main
speaker,” said James. He encouraged me to get on
my feet and stop crying over spilt milk. I rushed
to the washroom and freshened up.
I came back just in time for the evaluation of our
exhibit. The judges gave us disgusted looks and I
knew why. Helpless and hopeless, I dashed forward
to aid my team mates. I managed to change the
judges’ views about our exhibit but I was not sure
that we would be able to beat the ones who stole
our idea. Many thoughts began to run across my
mind. How could my idea have leaked? How did the
other team create a similar exhibit as ours? Was I
assuming too much? Was it a coincidence? I was
upset and I wanted answers! I was determined to
find the culprit who stole my ideas.
We ask Mr Tan about the four questions he wrote on
the whiteboard. He said that the questions were the
‘4 Way Test’ that was established by Herbert J Taylor
back in 1932. He began to tell us everything about
this test and encouraged us to apply it in our daily
lives. I look up to this challenge and it certainly
changed my life from that day onwards.
When the judges announced the results, our group
got the consolation prize and the team who stole
our idea won the competition. We were dissatisfied
and lodged a report. Mr Tan, the Chief Judge was
a very fair man. He wanted to aid us, and ensure
fair play, unlike all the other judges who did not
want to entertain us. All they wanted was to end
the exhibition and return to their homes. They were
selfish and tried to persuade Mr Tan to keep the

Are we being
oppressed are we
just darn plain lucky?
I am a Proud Malaysian
I proudly declare that I am a citizen of Malaysia.
There are many reasons why I claim to be a proud
Malaysian.
It is inevitably true that every student in Malaysia has
faced and, in the upcoming future, will continue to
face, various trials and tribulations throughout his or
her life as a student. Some of the hurdles we struggle
through are tougher than most and bring out certain
aspects of us that we never knew existed in the first
place, may it be a part that is emotionally distressed or
the one that propels our potential even further. Over
the years of rapid globalisation and decreased social
disparities, the students of Malaysia have experienced
increasing amounts of financial and social comforts
to an extent, that most of the time it is regarded as
being spoiled or pampered. And yet, we, being the
ungrateful teenagers that we are, find the abominable
bravery and the eccentric essence of radicalism in us
to complain and discriminate the way our lives have
turned out, often putting the burden of fault on the
government and our national education system.
First and foremost, of course, is our unity in diversity
and multi-racial culture. We manage to live in relative
racial harmony despite our differences in beliefs and
traditions. Our festivals are celebrated by everyone
regardless of ethnic origins. We have ‘open houses’ on
Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and other festivals.
Besides, I am proud of Malaysia for its smorgasbord
of incomparable hawker fare. For example, where else
can we get a hot bowl of delectable ‘laksa’ to go with a
bowl of scrumptious ‘ais kacang’? No wonder Malaysia
is renowned as a Food Paradise. Our wide array of
gastronomic delights is simply second to none.
The beauty of nature in Malaysia is also something
unique. We have large areas of virgin forests,
archipelagos of beautiful islands and countless other
natural wonders. For instance, we have the Tioman
Island, one of the world’s most beautiful islands and
the world’s oldest rainforests.
Well my fellow friends, I, representing a small yet
slowly expanding group of patriotic teenagers, would
like to boldly state that we are truly in the wrong. It
may seem difficult to admit it now, but time with its
mystical capabilities in bringing to light undeniable
truths will surely, without fail, unveil the amount
of gratitude that we, the young generation of this
country actually owe to this majestic and generous
nation we so proudly call Malaysia. We have been
given the priceless opportunity to obtain quality
education with prospects of academic and cocurricular success, the freedom to socialise and be
gregarious with those we grow fond of, to have the gift
of knowledge and philosophy passed down to us by
highly qualified scholars and never-tiring lecturers,
and last but not least, to enjoy the many splendours
of living in a modern and multiethnic society which
is unique from almost every respect.
Furthermore, I am proud of Malaysia because of its
world class facilities. Just take a look at the architectural
marvels in our country. For example, we have the
Petronas Twin Towers, one of the world’s tallest towers
and the SMART tunnel system, which underlines our
‘Malaysia Boleh’ spirit.
In addition, I am immensely proud of our country’s
achievements in sports. Our squash queen Nicole
David, who dominates the international squash scene,
is a shining example of what our athletes are capable
of achieving.
Finally, Malaysia is also a shopper’s paradise. We can
shop till we drop in the countless mega malls and
hypermarkets nationwide. There are also the night
markets where we can get almost anything from a
simple wallet to an expensive original painting by a
local artist.
And so I say my fellow students, the time has come
for us to stop whining and complaining about the
minor miseries that we are destined to face which
are dwarfed in comparison to those experience by
youths in more unfortunate countries and to finally
buck up, and exercise our right which is to bask in
the glory that is ‘MALAYSIA’.
In conclusion, I reiterate that Malaysia is a country
like no other and I am extremely proud to be a
Malaysian.

A Journey
That Will Never Be Forgotten
I never thought I would end up studying in ACS. If my former school
had an Arts Stream for Form 6, I would have stayed on and concluded
my secondary school life there. In the beginning, I never really wanted
to study in the Sixth Form because I knew that for a person like me,
who does not like to acquire knowledge only from textbooks (or should
I say lazy to spend long hours reading them), will definitely not be
able to achieve good results. I prefer doing coursework over exams
because this method of learning is more suitable for a person like me,
who wants to see knowledge being put to use instead of letting them
lie in the infertile grounds of my brain. Of course there were other
reasons that contributed to me making the decision to stay here instead
of enrolling in college. It was very clear to me that I was not ready to
leave Ipoh yet, this place where I was born and grew up in, this very
place where all the wonderful things in my life took place in…
It was an entirely new experience to me. This school is very different
from my previous schools. Maybe it was because of my mindset when
I stepped foot in this school that left me unprepared for many things.
I was expecting something more than what I actually received here
in the beginning. When things did not turn out as expected, I found
myself in an awkward position. Anger and frustration began to surface
and I had a tough time battling with the disappointments that I felt.
I knew that this was a decision I had made myself and I had to live
with it, at least until the end of my studies here since studying is my
prime objective.
I thank God that things took a turn for the better as time went by. I
was able to make things right with myself and found myself more
comfortable with my surroundings. I befriended a lot of wonderful
people here in ACS. They were mostly my classmates whom I spend
every day of my school life with. These are the people that brought
me a lot of joy and happiness and made my school life in ACS so
meaningful and memorable. Although my academic results were
terrible and I nearly gave up, it was strange that there was always
this little voice in me that kept on telling me to persevere and move on
because I had not finished with what I started in the very beginning.
In just a few months time, I will be facing my most important exam. I
have come a long way for this and I am determined to finish this race
well. I am aware that my time here is limited and I will be moving
into another phase of my life when building my career will be my
primary concern. I must say that I have really learnt a lot and have
grown much stronger than before throughout these days spent in this
school I am anticipating the coming of this new phase of life because
I will no longer be in my teens and will be having more freedom in
life, to do the things that I love most and to pursue my dreams and
ambitions. Even though the future is uncertain, I still have great hope
in it because I believe that if I keep on believing and work hard towards
my goals, I will eventually taste the sweet fruit of success.

with a spirit so enduring

unjust government treatment through music. These
men – who are heroes in our modern day for their
contributions – were in their own ways, rebels. So,
how can all rebels be bad?
(Picking someone else) Oho, young man! Are you
trying to teach me what to do? I’ve been doing this
long before you even existed!
Rebels play an important role because they fight
for righteousness. They ensure a balance of power
between the people of the country and the ‘Men in
Suits’. They lay the foundation of freedom for the
construction of a better world. Their bravery to fight
the system won us independence. So, how can all
rebels be bad?
At that moment — in the eyes of the school gardener
– I was considered disrespectful and branded a rebel.
Greetings to all present here!
Rebels! That’s our subject for today. Whenever we
mention rebels we think negatively about them; check
it up in the dictionary, and the work ‘rebel’ is defined
as, ‘a person who opposes authority’ or ‘a person who
does not accept the normal standard of behaviour’.
These definitions fuel our negative perceptions, but,
understand them a little better and we’d learn that
they are actually neutral. We misinterpret them,
thus creating a common misperception of the word
‘rebel’. So, maybe we should re-examine the word
‘rebel’.
Political rebels challenge authority for the
preservation of our rights. Rebels who started war
did what was necessary to force change. These rebels
made sacrifices and many of them gave their lives. So,
one has to wonder where this misperception comes
from!
But sadly, the true art of rebelling is dying and all we
have are rebels who do not fight for righteousness.
Well, maybe that is where this misperception comes
from.
Before I get into the details I would like to make a
bold statement – Our founding father and 1st Prime
Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman was a rebel. I mean no
disrespect or offence but he was a rebel. Having said
that, allow me to prove to you how and why.
But the fact remains that rebels are dying, and we
are the cause. Our mindsets have been programmed
never to challenge authority; never to ask ‘why?’ We
are afraid to ask ‘Why do I have to do this?’, or ‘Why
do I have to do that’. Instead, all we ever do is – sit
at home in our living rooms and complain but never
do anything constructive. Then some people say that
times have changed, we no longer need rebels. But, I
say – New times require new rebels.
In order to do that, let us go back to the definition
of the word ‘rebel’ — ‘a person who opposes
authority’. Didn’t Tunku Abdul Rahman oppose
British authority to win us our independence? Didn’t
George Washington go against British authority to win
America its freedom? And what of Mahatma Gandhi?
We think badly of rebels, but do we not have to be
thankful and appreciate these men for rebelling for
good? Their rebellion saved us from being shackled
to slavery.
We need rebels, because they will be our voice against
injustice. We need rebels, because they dare to go
against the norms of society for a better tomorrow.
They give us hope. But all that we have done is – doom
them to death. It is because of our misperception of a
simple word that we misinterpret intentions. We need
to change the dogmatic beliefs of modern society,
because, in order to truly understand something, one
needs to learn about it from every aspect and every

the truth, and only we can open them. Our founding
fathers laid the foundation for the construction of a
better world. The structure is yet to be completed,
because it is our task to learn from them and continue

An Excellent Malaysia Without Corruption
Salutations to the Chairperson, honourable judges,
efficient timekeeper, ladies and gentlemen. I stand
before you today to give a speech entitled ‘An
Excellent Malaysia without Corruption’. If there
was no corruption in Malaysia our organiser will
not be needed and I will not be standing before
you. On a serious note, according to Transparency
International, an international body dedicated to
fighting corruption, in the year 2006, our country was
placed as the 44th most corrupted among 163 nations
based on the Corruption Perception Index.
political, economic, and social sectors in consonant
with Vision 2020. In such an environment, economic
activities abound. With it the temptations of
corruption will rear its ugly head in many fields. What
are its consequences to an excellent Malaysia?
Firstly, corruption can paralyse and devastate
Malaysia’s economy. You might be wondering how?
For example, if a civil servant or an officer in a semi
government body demands money or a reward to do
the designated duty or duties. Firstly, it well deter
foreign and also local investors from investing in the
country because approvals for investments will be
dependant on bribes given, and not whether there has
been compliance with all necessary requirements. In
the process, legal requirements are circumvented.
More often than not approvals obtained in such a
manner, for example, in the construction sector
will result in unsound buildings being built or, in the
manufacturing sector, consumable products being of
inferior quality. Secondly, if such payments are made,
it will not only be passed on to the end product user
or consumer in terms of higher pricing but makes
the products less competitive in the international
market.
Before discussing whether there can be an excellent
Malaysia without corruption, it is appropriate that the
word corruption be defined. According to Wikipedia it
is a concept that describes an interdependent system
that is not performing the duties it is supposed to
or performs them in an inappropriate manner that
is detrimental to its original purpose. In simple
language it means that a person in position demands
for example, monetary remuneration for performing
a task which he is duty bound to perform without
any expectation. Another example would be where
a person in position or power agrees to refrain
from taking action, including legal action if he is
remunerated in cash or kind. Ladies and gentlemen,
all this hype about corruption might get you thinking,
what is so wrong about corruption. What does it do?
How can it affect our beloved nation Malaysia?
Secondly, corruption in the judicial system will have
a catastrophic effect on the system of justice as well
as indirectly affecting foreign direct investment
which contributes to the creation of a prosperous
nation. For example a corrupt judiciary means justice
is up for sale. Not only will the country be a haven
for criminals but it will lead to chaos and anarchy.
An excellent Malaysia can be defined as a nation
that has undergone and is still undergoing rapid
development in various sectors which include

Also, a corrupt judiciary will deter foreign investors
because they will not have faith in the judicial officers
to adjudicate in the event of trade disputes.
Can there be an excellent Malaysia without corruption?
It is not a utopia but a reality that can be achieved by
simple measures. What might some of these measures
be?
Firstly, by reducing red tape in the government
machinery. In today’s society, especially in public
administration, it is not wrong to say that we are
living in a bureaucratic world. Almost any activity,
be it economic or otherwise, requires approval from
some higher authority or authorities. This may involve
numerous levels of approvals. To overcome the time
taken, bribes are given to speed the process up. One
way to reduce the red tape is by simplifying procedures
and creating one stop approval centres. The need to
hasten does not arise thus eliminating corruption.
Secondly, the essence of corruption lies in the tangled
fabric of the human personality. A personality ravaged
by social ills and a distorted sense of morality would
actually view corruption as an act that was fine as long
as there were no repercussions to the said individual;
that is, as long as they are not caught! Apart from
that, a personality that is not rigid and not strong to
withstand temptation would easily fall prey to the
magnetic attraction of paper notes and blank cheques
as they are pressured to provide for their families, or
due to an incessant craving to lead a better life. The
only way to tackle this issue is by inculcating a profound
conscience and the ability to, not only decipher right
from wrong, but also the will power and the courage
to take the right action. This sense of righteousness
must be instilled from within and from a young age so
as to ensure these values stay enshrined in the essence
of a person’s morality. Ladies and gentlemen, that is
integrity, the main crusader against corruption. What
better place than to start in school or rope in religious
organisations to help.
Thirdly, by strict enforcement of the law against
corruption, not purely with a view to punish the
offenders, but, more so, as a deterrent to other possible
offenders.
Ladies and gentlemen, in conclusion, for Malaysia
excellent, it must be free of corruption. It is an
attainable goal. It is in the hands of each and every
citizen to ensure that the ‘disease’ of corruption does
not become a deadly phenomenon that seemingly goes
unnoticed as we wallow through our mundane daily lives.
Ladies and gentlemen, Malaysia is a beautiful country.
Let us not defile this country’s name by performing acts
of corruption. May this country’s glory of the past 50
years not be tainted by our selfish and greedy acts.
Together, we can make a difference. Thank you.

Makanan Segera : Gaya Hidup Masyarakat Masa Kini
Pascamerdekaan telah membawa Malaysia ke arah pembangunan
infrastruktur yang terkini telah menjadi sebati dengan masyarakat kita
dewasa ini. Kemajuan telah membawa Malaysia ke arah globalisasi
lalu menyebabkan asimilasi budaya dan teknologi. Natijahnya,
masyarakat kita terikut-ikut dengan budaya dan amalan negaranegara Barat. Salah satu aspek yang mendapat perhatian ramai
adalah gaya hidup masyarakat Barat yang cenderung dalam
pengambilan makanan segera. Apakah rasionalnya masyarakat
Barat suka mengambil makanan segera sebagai diet harian mereka?
Adakah makanan segera mempunyai sebarang khasiat atau nutrien yang
diperlukan oleh badan? Sebagai bukti, makanan segera mendapat sambutan
yang hangat dari setiap lapisan masyarakat, tanpa mengira bangsa, kaum, jantina mahupun usia.
Pertambahan syarikat-syarikat makanan segera seperti cendawan baru tumbuh menjadi bukti kepada
peningkatan permintaan makanan segera dewasa ini.
Makanan segera merupakan makanan yang sudah dimasak terlebih dahulu dan dicampur dengan bahan
pengawet supaya tahan lama dan mudah disediakan. Industri makanan segera semakin berkembang
maju di negara kita sehingga industri pengiklanan makanan segera sahaja, sudahpun mencapai kos
RM100 juta. Industri ini juga melibatkan isu kesihatan kepada warga penggunanya. Isu-isu ini sudah
mula terpampang di dada-dada akhbar dan mendapat perhatian ramai. Menteri Kesihatan Dato’
Chua Soi Lek berkata bahawa makanan segera merupakan pembunuh nombor dua di negara ini selepas
dadah. Dato Chua sudahpun berbincang dengan Menteri Pelajaran Dato’ Hishamuddin Tun Hussein
untuk mengurangkan atau mengekang penjualan makanan segera seperti snek, keropok dan minuman
bergas di sekolah-sekolah. Berita ini menunjukkan betapa pentingnya tahap kesihatan rakyat di negara
ini diberi perhatian dan mesej yang ingin disampaikan melalui berita ini adalah makanan segera lebih
memudaratkan kesihatan. Makanan segera mudah dan cepat disediakan serta sedap dimakan kerana
telah dimasukkan dengan pelbagai jenis perasa dan pewarna. Antara pewarna yang digunakan adalah
Blue VCR dan Orange CGN. Kedua-dua pewarna ini telah disahkan boleh mengakibatkan lelah dan
penyakit barah. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) atau lebih dikenali sebagai Ajinomoto telah menarik
perhatian orang ramai kerana boleh menyedapkan makanan.
Makanan segera boleh didapati di mana-mana sahaja, terutamanya di pusat beli-belah. Pelbagai jenis
makanan segera boleh didapati seperti mee, coklat, gula-gula, minuman bergas, bubur dan minuman
segera. Mengapakah masyarakat kita masih membuat pilihan untuk mengambil makanan segera
walaupun tahu tentang kesan sampingan yang akan dihadapi kelak? Gaya hidup masyarakat yang
sibuk dengan kerjaya masing-masing merupakan faktor utama dalam kemelut isu ini. Pada hari ini,
segala fasiliti dan kemudahan telah mendorong rakyat kita untuk berusaha dengan lebih keras. Kita
tidak ingin kemajuan yang kita capai berhenti di sini sahaja kerana kita masih jauh ketinggalan jika
dibandingkan dengan kemajuan yang dicapai oleh negara-negara Barat.
Kerajaan harus mengutamakan kesihatan rakyat terlebih dahulu. Rangkaian Televisyen Malaysia
(RTM) sedang mempertimbangkan isu menghentikan pengiklanan makanan segera walaupun
keuntungan yang diperoleh amat lumayan iaitu mencecah RM100 juta. Adakah kesihatan 26 juta
rakyat negara kita boleh dibandingkan dengan keuntungan sebanyak RM100 juta? Pelbagai langkah
SMK METHODIST (ACS) IPOH

Culled From The Crew
harus dilaksanakan dengan segera agar dapat mengelak
musibah yang lebih tenat dan melarat. Syarikat-syarikat
swasta harus bekerjasama dengan kerajaan agar langkahlangkah yang diambil bukan sahaja praktikal tetapi efektif.
Makanan segera haruslah dihentikan penjualannya di
semua sekolah bagi mengelak kanak-kanak daripada
terpengaruh dengan makanan segera supaya dapat
menghindari ketagihan. Selain itu, promosi-promosi
yang membabitkan makanan segera harus diharamkan.
Sebagai contoh, alat permainan yang diberi secara
percuma dengan pembelian makanan segera harus
dihentikan. Kanak-kanak yang hanya mahukan alat
permainan akan terdorong untuk membeli makanan
segera tersebut. Penekanan harus diberi kepada kanakkanak kerana merekalah yang akan menjadi pewaris
bangsa pada masa hadapan.
Di samping itu, kandungan makanan segera haruslah
dipamerkan. Syarikat-syarikat makanan segera harus
diberi garis panduan dalam penyediaan makanan segera.
Hal ini akan memudahkan syarikat-syarikat makanan
segera menghasilkan produk yang bermutu berpandukan
garis panduan, kuantiti bahan pewarna dan perasa yang
digunakan dapat dikawal. Sebarang bentuk pengiklanan
harus dihentikan agar tidak mendorong masyarakat kita
untuk membeli makanan segera. Negara-negara Barat
mengorak langkah dalam usaha untuk menghentikan
pengambilan makanan segera. Pengambilan burger pada
waktu pagi tidak digalakkan dan telah wujud iklan yang
menyamakan pengambilan burger dengan secawan air
laut. Jika di negara Barat, sudahpun wujud kesedaran,
mengapakan rakyat Malaysia masih mengagungagungkan makanan segera?
Merujuk kembali tentang segala fakta yang dinyatakan
di atas, sudah pasti pengambilan makanan segera
tidak digalakkan. Kandungan bahan yang terdapat
dalam makanan segera hanya akan memudaratkan
kesihatan.
Persoalannya, adakah rakyat Malaysia
lebih mementingkan kerjaya atau kesihatan mereka?
Kesedaran haruslah wujud dalam diri warga Malaysia
supaya bangsa kita tidak ranap dalam usaha mengejar
kemewahan duniawi. Segala yang kita kejar akan menjadi
sia-sia kerana tahap kesihatan kita tidak mengizinkan
diri untuk menikmati kemewahan sebenar. Oleh yang
demikian, kesihatan diri haruslah diutamakan. Janganlah
kita terhantuk baru terngadah.
Aku Seorang Tua
Muhammad Azeem b Mohd Lenin (4B)
Aku seorang tua yang buta sewaktu
melihat, dan terlihat anak muda
seagama denganku,
menapak kecil jalan mati yang tidak jauh
dari lorong gelap itu.
Aku seorang tua yang pekak sewaktu
mendengar, dan terdengar ada anak muda
yang mengahadkan darah
mengahadkan syaitan dan iblis
sementara agama yang azali disampahkan.
Kenapa?
Aku mungkin seorang tua yang kolot,
ataupun jumud,
Tapi, aku seorang tua yang tahu
apa itu maruah mahal murahnya harga diri
anak muda-mudi saban hari,
Tapi, itu belum lagi kucongak apa yang
dihadapan masa depan!
Anak-anak bangsaku,
cuma kita sahaja yang tinggal,
baiknya kita,
buruknya kita,
kita tetap KITA, dan takkan sesekali kita
bercerai tak bertalak,
walaupun hitam dan putih
dicacamarbakan sekali,
walaupun air dan minyak
dicampuradukkan,
walaupun ular dan katak disatutempatkan,
Ayuh kita maju dari semua arah,
tapi sebelum itu,
mari kita tamatkan segala apa yang telah
kita mulakan.
Tak kira sama ada aku seorang tua
ataupun muda,
aku hanya berpegang pada satu prinsip,
satu visi, satu misi, satu motif, satu hasrat,
satu impian, satu harapan, satu aspirasi,
satu cita-cita,
semua demi satu kata,
satu kata yang bermakna,
‘masa depan’!

Peranan Pantun Sebagai Penyeri Majlis
Peranan pantun sangat besar dalam
masyarakat Melayu. Pantun berfungsi
sebagai
media
komunikasi
sejak
dari dahulu lagi.
Memandangkan
masyarakat Melayu dahulu kekurangan
media hiburan, pantun pula telah
diangkat sebagai medium hiburan
berinformasi. Secara definisi, pantun
adalah puisi lama yang terdiri daripada
4 baris dan dalam tiap-tiap rangkap; dua
baris pertama merupakan pembayang
dan selainnya mengandungi maksud.
Bagaimanapun, setelah berabad-abad
berevolusi, lahir pula pantun yang
mempunyai kurang atau lebih daripada
4 baris seperti pantun dua kerat, pantun
enam kerat dan pantun lapan kerat.
Pada zaman moden pula, pantun sering
digunakan oleh pengacara majlis untuk
menyerikan suasana. Peranan pengacara
majlis sangat besar, terutamanya
pada peringkat permulaan. Menarik
tumpuan khalayak terhadap acara yang
sedang atau akan berlangsung terletak
di bahunya. Umpamanya, pantun yang
berikut menggambarkan peranan itu:
Mekar serumpun bunga siantan,
Ditiup angin gugur berserakan,
Agar majlis mendapat keberatan,
Surah al-Fatihah kita bacakan.
Petik setangkai buah bidara,
Di atas perahu mari dimakan,
Untuk kita mulakan acara,
Surah al-Fatihah kita bacakan.
Selain itu, sesuatu majlis akan tampak lebih berseri
jika acaranya dihubungkait dengan pantun. Hal yang
demikian berfungsi untuk mengelakkan majlis tersebut
bosan dan kaku.
Dari Kelantan pergi ke Kedah,
Dari Kedah ke Kuala Lumpur pula,
Doa selamat dipohon sudah,
Mari kita beralih acara.
Di samping itu, bahasa berirama juga sering digunakan
untuk memulakan majlis bagi memberi kelainan
kepada khalayak dan persembahan pengacaraan majlis.
Bahasa berirama yang berikut digunakan untuk majlis
konvokesyen.
MPKB tersergam indah,
Dari jauh tampak berseri,
Bangunan lama dan baru berganding megah,
Pepohon angsana berbaris-baris,
Pepohon nyiur berbanjar-banjar,
Dewan Wawasan tempat bersatu,
Pentas Utama penyaksian anugerah,
Para graduan segak menawan,
Memakai jubah indah dan tampan,
Tersenyum bangga menerima watikah,
Hari ini penuh keramat,
Segala usaha berjuta hikmat,
Kepada graduan kami pertaruhkan,
Selautan hasrat, segunung harapan.
Tidur sebantal lena berulit,
Dibuai mimpi bersama puteri,
Sekali sekala pantun diselit,
Majlis tampak lebih berseri.
Ketika memulakan majlis pula, pantun
yang digunakan sebagai penyeri kata
perlulah disertai kesantunan dan
kesopanan dalam berbahasa, dan
berkaitan rapat dengan majlis yang
sedang dijalankan. Hal yang demikian
dapat menarik perhatian khalayak dan
juga dapat memberi persepsi yang
menarik.
Indah mentari terbit di kuala,
Tampak cahaya cerah berserakan,
Sebelum majlis kita bermula,
Bacaan doa kita mulakan.
Ada juga majlis yang tidak dimulakan
dengan bacaan doa, tetapi hadirin
diminta membaca surah al-Fatihah
untuk memohon keberatan.
Pendek kata, pantun merupakan satu adat atau budaya
orang timur yang ‘tidak lekang dek panas, tidak lapuk
dek hujan’ kerana kepenggunaannya tiada sempadan.
Oleh itu, generasi kini perlulah mempelajari keindahan
pantun agar Malaysia dapat dikenali umum kerana
masyarakatnya yang kaya dengan khazanah masyarakat
terdahulu.

budaya membaca
Membaca itu jambatan ilmu.
Ungkapan ini memang tidak
dapat dinafikan oleh sesiapa
pun. Sesungguhnya, wahyu
pertama yang diturunkan oleh
Allah kepada Nabi Muhammad
SAW ialah surah al-Alaq yang
menyuruh umatnya membaca.
Oleh yang demikian dapatlah
dikatakan bahawa tamadun manusia
bermula daripada membaca. Melalui
kegiatan membacalah pengetahuan seseorang
menjadi luas. Sehubungan itu kerajaan telah
mendirikan banyak perpustakaan awam di bandarbandar besar. Namun begitu perpustakaanperpustakaan ini hanya berfungsi sebagai
bangunan-bangunan yang menggambarkan
perkembangan infrastruktur bandar. Fungsinya
sebagai pusat ilmu pengetahuan hanya sekadar
untuk namanya sahaja. Masyarakat kita secara
puratanya hanya membaca dua muka surat sahaja
setahun. Memang perkara ini amat memalukan.
Sudah tibalah masanya untuk kita mengenal pasti
puncanya kerana perkara ini akan meninggalkan
kesan yang negatif sekiranya berterusan.
dengan cara pemakaian, dan
berkelakuan barat. Sebenarnya
kita tidak pernah melihat
kebaikan budaya masyarakat
barat yang suka membaca
buku-buku di tempattempat awam. Perkara ini
memang memperlibatkan ciri
masyarakat kita yang hanya
mencontohi keburukan masyarakat
barat. Maka, tidak hairanlah masyarakat
kita suka mengejar kekayaan materialistik tetapi
kekayaan ilmu pengetahuan pula diabaikan.
Demikian punca utama, kurangnya budaya
membaca dalam kalangan masyarakat kita hari
ini. Masalah ini tidak harus dibiarkan begitu
sahaja. Hal yang demikian akan meninggalkan
kesan negatif bukan sahaja terhadap masyarakat,
tetapi negara juga akan mengalami keburukannya.
Kesan utamanya ialah kekurangan golongan
intelektual yang akan menerajui negara ke
tahap maju. Seseorang itu tidak dapat memikir
dan menghasilkan idea-idea yang bernas tanpa
pembacaan. Pendek kata, otaknya menjadi
cetek dan ketandusan idea. Akibatnya, sesuatu
masyarakat tidak dapat berkembang dari segi
mentaliti. Apatah lagi untuk dikatakan bahawa
jika budaya ini berterusan, lama-kelamaan kita
tidak perlu ragu-ragu lagi untuk mengatakan
masyarakat kita sebagai masyarakat jahiliah.
Seperti kita tahu, masyarakat jahiliah bermaksud
masyarakat yang tidak mengamalkan budaya
membaca dan kurangnya amalan membaca.
Faktor utama yang menyumbang ke arah
masalah ini ialah mentaliti masyarakat kita
yang tidak mementingkan ilmu pengetahuan
melalui pembacaan. Masyarakat kita telah
ditenggelami oleh perkembangan teknologi
yang pesat. Kemudahan-kemudahan yang ada
hari ini seperti televisyen, radio dan internet
menyebabkan masyarakat kita tidak memandang
serius terhadap pembacaan. Kita beranggapan
kemudahan-kemudahan ini sudah memadai
untuk membekalkan maklumat yang bernas
untuk meluaskan pengetahuan. Malangnya,
masyarakat kita sudah melupai hakikatnya
bahawa kemudahan-kemudahan ini terhasil
daripada pembacaan seseorang itu pada masa
dahulu. Tambahan pula sikap masyarakat kita
yang suka membelanjakan beribu-ribu ringgit
untuk membeli telefon bimbit tetapi berasa
berat hati untuk membeli surat khabar atau bukubuku berilmiah. Apa yang menghairankan ialah
kita tidak berjemu-jemu mengatakan bahawa
budaya barat telah mempengaruhi budaya timur
yang kita mengagung-agungkan itu. Malah, kita
juga mengatakan remaja kita ini terpengaruh
SMK METHODIST (ACS) IPOH
Adakah kita akan membiarkan keadaan ini begitu
sahaja? Tidak sama sekali. Sudah tiba masanya
untuk masyarakat sedar bahawa mutiara
tidak dimuntahkan timbul oleh laut. Apa yang
dimaksudkan di sini adalah ilmu pengetahuan
tidak akan diperoleh begitu sahaja. Oleh itu,
masyarakat haruslah membaca buku agar
pemikirannya berkembang. Jika masyarakat kita
masih tidak memandang serius terhadap perkara
ini, pastinya Wawasan 2020 yang menjadi buah
mulut setiap warganegara akan menjadi impian
manis yang tidak tercapai.

PEMANASAN GLOBAL
Sama Bahayanya Dengan Kesan Peperangan
Bunyi batuk memecah kesunyian. Siulan angin
bertiup sepai-sepai menyusuli. Tidak jauh, kelihatan
samar-samar seorang wanita dalam pertengahan
umur. Susuk badannya yang kurus melidi seakanakan melayang ditiup angin. Namun, wanita
tersebut terus melangkah lemah longlai sambil
memimpin seorang kanak-kanak lelaki. Keadaan
si kecil tidak jauh beza daripada keadaan ibunya.
Kedua-dua ibu dan anak terus melangkah dengan
payah. Sekali-sekala sikecil terbatuk. Kawasan
sekeliling mereka mempamerkan senario yang
lebih menyedihkan. Di sekeliling mereka bangunan
konkrit tersebar di merata-rata, seumpama
perkuburan untuk bangunan yang hancur diletup
bom dan misil semasa perang.
Dari segi ekonomi sahaja, peperangan terbukti
meninggalkan kesan negatif kepada seluruh
dunia. Contoh yang paling ketara merupakan
perang di Iraq. Sehingga kini, Amerika Syarikat
dilaporkan sudah berbelanja sebanyak USD 250
bilion. Perbelanjaan negara-negara lain yang
terlibat belum diambil. Namun, kemenangan
masih belum dicapai oleh Amerika Syarikat
secara sepenuhnya. Warga Iraq pula terpaksa
menanggung kesengsaraan akibat keganasan
yang berlaku dalam negara. Bak kata pepatah,
yang menang jadi arang, yang kalah jadi abu. Kos
perang yang ditanggung pada masa sekarang sahaja
sudah begitu besar. Apatah lagi perang pada masa
depan yang bakal menyaksikan senjata-senjata
yang lebih bahaya, dahsyat dan mahal? Beban
ekonomi peperangan tidak berakhir dengan kos
perang sahaja. Dalam jangka masa panjang,
negara-negara yang berperang perlu membayar
pampasan peperangan di samping menampung
kos pemulihan ekonomi. Sekiranya ekonomi tidak
dapat dipulih, bantuan ekonomi terpaksa diminta.
Bantuan yang dihulurkan tidaklah seikhlas yang
dijangka kerana terdapat udang di sebalik batu,
iaitu kawalan ekonomi. Perubahan kepada ekonomi
yang mengejut semasa perang akan menjejaskan
ekonomi serata dunia. Akibatnya, peranglah
yang menjadi mangkin kepada kegawatan dan
kemerosotan ekonomi. Berkat niat beberapa yang
berperang, warga dunia yang menderita.
Beralih ke senario lain yang sama menyayat
hati. Langit kelihatan perang dan diliputi awan.
Udaranya panas membahang. Kelihatan seorang
warga tua mengesat peluh di mukanya sambil
bernafas dengan payahnya. Maklumlah, udaranya
tipis sekali. Malahan, keadaan sebegini sudah
biasa dilihat di serata dunia. Tiba-tiba, warga tua
itu terjatuh ke tanah sambil bernafas tercungapcungap. Seorang lelaki yang berdiri berdekatan
berteriak meminta bantuan sambil berlari ke
arah warga tua tersebut yang air mukanya semakin
pucat.
Begitulah imaginasi yang dijangka menjadi realiti
pada masa akan datang sekiranya perang tercetus
ataupun pemanasan global tidak dibendung. Keduaduanya sama bahaya. Impak kedua-dua peristiwa
ini dijangka besar skalanya atas segala hidupan
atas muka bumi. Malah, planet yang bergelar
Bumi ini juga akan menanggung kesan negatif
yang melampui batasan imaginasi. Sehingga kini,
tiada sesiapapun yang dapat memberi gambaran
yang tepat tentang masa depan Bumi sekiranya
pemanasan global tidak berjaya dikawal atau
peperangan terus tercetus. Hanya jangkaan yang
menjadi panduan.

Pemanasan global turut memberi impak yang
serupa atas ekonomi dunia. Salah satu sektor
ekonomi yang paling ketara dipengaruhi ialah
agrikultur. Agrikultur berfungsi membekalkan
makanan kepada manusia sejagat. Namun, sektor
inilah yang paling mudah berubah mengikut
perubahan alam. Tanaman makanan, khususnya,
amat peka terhadap perubahan elemen alam
seperti kepekatan gas karbon dioksida. Gas
karbon dioksida, yang merupakan agen pemanasan

global utama, sudah dibuktikan berupaya menjadi
stimulus pertumbuhan tanaman dalam beberapa
kajian saintifik. Namun demikian, kepekatan
gas karbon dioksida yang melampau juga akan
mengubah pH air dan juga suhu di Bumi. Air
yang mempunyai gas karbon dioksida terlarut
ataupun asid karbonik tidak sesuai untuk
pengairan tanaman. Peningkatan suhu Bumi pula
akan merencatkan pertumbuhan tanaman yang
hidup di iklim sederhana dan iklim sejuk seperti
tomato, buah citrus dan tanaman bunga. Selain
impak terhadap sektor ekonomi, pemanasan
global turut mempamerkan ancaman yang lain.
Statistik dan kajian pakar metereologi sedunia
berjaya mengaitkan pemanasan global dengan
bilangan bencana alam ekstrem yang semakin
bertambah. Corak perubahan sebegini mendorong
semua negara untuk mengambil langkah berjagajaga. Warga dunia masih belum lupa akan ribut
Katrina yang telah membanjiri hampir seluruh New
Orleans. Rakyat Malaysia, khususnya rakyat negeri
Johor, masih berusaha keras untuk bangun semula
daripada kemusnahan yang disebabkan oleh banjir
pada Disember 2006. Kedua-dua fenomena alam
ini telah mengakibatkan kemusnahan berjuta-juta
ringgit dan banyak nyawa yang terkorban. Daripada
nilai kemusnahan hinggalah kos pemulihan dan
kos langkah berjaga-jaga, semuanya akan menelan
perbelanjaan yang besar dan menjadi beban yang
berat kepada semua pihak.
Rakyat Vietnam yang termakan hidupan teracun
ini, khususnya ibu mengandung, dilaporkan
mati keracunan ataupun kelahiran bayi yang
cacat anggota badan. Secara amnya, peperangan
merupakan ancaman kepada ekosistem dan
keseimbangannya. Keseimbangan ekosistem
merupakan tunggak kepada kemandulan segala
bentuk hidupan di Bumi. Sekiranya keseimbangan
ini tergugat, pelbagai spesies hidupan mungkin
pupus.
Keseimbangan ekosistem tidak hanya tergugat
dengan peperangan sahaja. Pemanasan global
merupakan reaksi dan tanda keseimbangan
ekosistem diancam. Reaksi ini selanjutnya akan
memangkinkan impak yang terus menggugat
keseimbangan ekosistem. Salah satu kesan
pemanasan global yang paling kerap dinyatakan
ialah kenaikan suhu Bumi. Kenaikan suhu yang
kecil sudah memadai untuk mengubah iklim
dunia selama-lamanya. Seperti yang dinyatakan,
kenaikan suhu Bumi akan mencetuskan perubahan
ilkim dengan mempengaruhi faktor iklim seperti
kadar sejatan air, aliran air laut panas dan sejuk,
pembentukan awan dan lain-lain. Secara langsung,
kenaikan suhu juga meningkatkan risiko cuaca
ekstrem berlaku. Dakwaan ini disokong oleh
Organisasi Meteorologi Sedunia berdasarkan
analisis terhadap rekod-rekod corak iklim dan
kaitannya dengan cuaca ekstrem selama beberapa
dekad. Malah, kenaikan suhu telah dibuktikan
sebagai punca pencairan air batu di Kutub Utara
dan Kutub Selatan. Air batu di Kutub Utara dan
Kutub Selatan membentuk 99% daripada air tawar
di dunia. Kecairan air batu yang begitu besar
isipadunya akan menyebabkan kenaikan paras
air laut. Paras air laut dijangka naik 15 hingga 95
cm untuk kenaikan suhu sebanyak 1.5oC hingga 4.5
o
C. Perubahan sebegini mampu menenggelamkan
sebahagian besar daratan yang menjadi habitat
kepada pelbagai spesies flora dan fauna. Kesemua
impak atas alam sekitar yang dinyatakan hanyalah
sebahagian kecil daripada bahaya pemanasan
global.
Alam sekitar tidak terkecuali daripada impak
peperangan dan pemanasan global. Demi
membiayai perang, sumber alam dieksploitasi
sewenang-wenangnya. Kadar sumber alam
diekstrak jauh lebih tinggi daripada kadar
pemulihan sumber tersebut secara semulajadi.
Lambat-laun, sumber alam akan haus akibat
eksploitasi. Senjata yang diguna semasa perang
pula memburukkan lagi keadaan. Tiada senjata
yang dapat memberikan gambaran yang lebih jelas
daripada pengeboman Hiroshima dan Nagasaki
dengan bom nuklear semasa Perang Dunia Kedua.
Sehingga kini, tapak pengeboman tersebut masih
gersang akibat radioaktif yang masih wujud. Selain
itu, senjata kimia yang diguna semasa Perang
Vietnam didapati telah meracuni hidupan liar.

Rekod menunjukkan bahawa lebih 2 juta orang
berputih tulang di medan peperangan semasa
Perang Dunia Kedua. Angka ini mewakili sumber
insan yang menyimpan potensi yang tidak
ternilai sekiranya mereka tidak gugur dalam
medan peperangan. Isu sosial yang lain seperti
isu kesihatan turut menerima tamparan kuat.
Penyakit yang biasanya mudah dikawal dan
dirawat akan berubah menjadi penyakit maut

PLKN! PLKN! PLKN! Itulah yang sedang
hangat diperkatakan kini oleh orang ramai.
Soal kesihatan juga tergugat akibat pemanasan
global. Pakar kesihatan telah membuktikan
bahawa penyakit yang tersebar melalui vektor
akan menular seiring dengan pemanasan global.
Misalnya, penyakit malaria, denggi dan Japanese
Encephalitis (JE) yang disebarkan oleh nyamuk
semakin kerap dilaporkan sejajar fenomena
pemanasan global berlaku. Malah, kes maut akibat
jangkitan-jangkitan tersebut juga semakin banyak.

Apabila diimbas kembali, kedua-dua fenomena
ini adalah serupa dari banyak segi. Kedua-duanya
boleh dielakkan. Kedua-duanya merupakan
angkara manusia. Segala impak yang tersebut
hanya dapat memberi gambaran ringkas terhadap
peperangan dan pemanasan global. Kesan
sebenarnya adalah sukar diduga dan sudah tentu
jauh buruknya. Pembendungan dan pengelakkan
peperangan dan pemanasan global lebih mudah
dicapai jika dibandingkan dengan pemulihan

Cuba Teka,

Suatu pagi, seorang guru berdiri di hadapan kelas sambil mengangkat segelas air. Dia
bertanya kepada murid-muridnya, ‘Cuba kamu teka, berapa berat gelas ini?’
Jawab murid yang duduk di hadapan kelas, ‘50 gram, cikgu!’
Guru tersebut tersenyum. ‘Yang lain?’ soalnya.
‘Saya rasa mungkin 100 gram,’ jawab seorang pelajar perempuan.
Bangun pula seorang pelajar lelaki di tengah-tengah kelas. ‘Jawapannya mesti 150
gram, cikgu.’ Beberapa orang pelajar lagi bangun, jawapan mereka berkisar antara
50 hingga 500 gram.
Siapakah yang berjaya memberikan jawapan yang betul? Adakah berat gelas itu 200
gram? 300 gram? 410 gram? Atau 100 gram?
Jawab gurunya, ‘Jawapan kamu mungkin betul dan mungkin juga salah! Sebenarnya,
berat segelas air ini tidak begitu penting sebab ianya bergantung kepada berapa lama
kamu memegangnya.
‘Jika kamu pegang gelas ini satu minit, tak jadi masalah. Kalau satu jam, tangan
kamu akan sakit. Sehari! Kamu perlu diusung ke ambulans.’ Ketawa murid-muridnya
mendengar kata-kata guru itu.
Sambung guru tersebut, ‘Murid-murid sekalian… berat segelas air
ini takkan berubah lagi tapi semakin lama kamu memegangnya, ia
akan menjadi semakin berat. Apa yang patut kamu lakukan ialah
letakkan gelas itu ke bawah, rehat beberapa minit dan sambungnya
kembali.
‘Begitu juga dengan kehidupan seharian kita. Jika kita ada
masalah, selesaikannya secepat mungkin. Kalau kita masih
gagal menyelesaikannya, rehat sebentar. Lupakan masalah itu
untuk seketika.’
‘Jangan terlalu memikirkannya kerana ia akan menyebabkan

However, there were some
imbalances in the overall
performance as some
students were not suitable
for their roles.
When compared with
students from the past, Mr
Chin finds that the students
nowadays are very narrowminded and are not wiling
to take on new challenges and make sacrifices for the
school. He mentioned that they are too dependent on
tuition teachers and are always thinking about going
for extra tuition classes. In his opinion, students should
change their mindset.
His advice for the students is to live life to the
fullest as achieving straight A’s is not everything in life.
He wishes all students all the best in all their future
undertakings.
A founding member of Five Arts Centre, Mr Chin San
Sooi has been widely involved in various aspects of
stage life, having served as an actor, set designer, play
writer, director, and producer. ACS is proud to have him
back as the director of the 2007 school play, Flower
Drum Song.
Mr Chin San Sooi began his education in 1948 until
1960 when he completed his Fifth Form. He furthered
his studies in the Malaya University. Upon graduation in
1964, he taught English and English Literature. Later,
he obtained a British Council’s Scholarship to study
speech and drama in United Kingdom.
Among famous productions which saw Mr Chin as
director include Brigadoon in 1965, Shakespeare’s As
You Like It in the same year, Othello in 1966, Annie
Get Your Gun in 1967, The Sound of Music in 1969,
King Lear and Macbeth in 1970, and many others.
When being asked about the cast of the Flower
Drum Song, he said that the cast is good. In his view,
actors and actresses who had major roles in the drama
really put in effort to work and develop their talents.

Mr Chin Yoong Kim
Asked
of
his
experiences in music
direction, he opines that
directing is interesting,
challenging, and inspiring
although it can be
sometimes stressful. His
talent in the performing
arts is further proven by the great successes in the
numerous plays he was involved in such as Carousel
(1977), Brigadoon (1965), The Sound of Music (1969),
The King and I (1995), the latest, Flower Drum Song
(2007) and numerous other musical productions staged
by the Music and Drama Society of the Anglo-Chinese
School during the years 1965 – 1989.
Besides the performing arts, Mr Chin enjoys reading
and listening to classical and light music. He resides
in Ipoh and was the President of the Rotary Club of
Ipoh for the Rotary Year 2005-2006. He is also actively
involved in the Perak Society of Performing Arts.
Mr Chin Yoong Kim, an old boy of the Anglo-Chinese
School, has been actively involved in the stage
productions of the school ever since he was young.
Mr Chin’s tireless guidance and support in our annual
school plays has managed to unveil many young talents
allowing the once famous school for plays to clinch
back its glory.
Mr Chin was a student of the Anglo-Chinese School
and completed his secondary education here. Later, he
continued his Sixth Form education in Anderson School
in 1954 as ACS did not have an Arts stream then. As he
did not find his sweet spot there, he left after a year
to teach. He then moved to the United States to study
for three and a half years and came back in 1961 to
continue teaching in his alma mater. In 1989, he opted
for retirement.
As we all know, Mr Chin’s undying love and passion
for the performing arts is obvious. This interest was
further developed when he went on to pursue his
studies in the United States. He holds a degree in
secondary education and his options are Geography
and Music.

MR CHEE WAN HOE
Mr Romesh Roy has contributed much in the stage plays held
in school. Most recently he was the co-director in the Flower
Drum Song held early March this year. Mr Romesh Roy is also
actively involved in the Perak Society of Performing Arts.
Born on the 9th of
December 1971,
Mr Chee Wan Hoe
was destined to
excel at football.
Coming
from
a family with
5 siblings, Mr
Chee was a child
who lived in the
moment. He did
everything
a
typical student would have done during his
years in ACS and that includes some degree of
mischief, though he wouldn’t recommend it to
today’s students. He started playing football
at the tender age of 8 and saw football as a
way of enjoying himself.
His interest in football blossomed when
he was chosen to represent the school team
back in 1987. In addition, he also represented
the school in athletics and handball. He joined
his first football club, CRC, that the same year.
Four years later, he found himself amidst other
footballers who were trying out for the state
team. By that time, football was more than
just a passion for him. In fact, it had become
his life. It was at this point that he realised he
was serious about football as a career.
He was picked by Mr M. Karathu for the
Perak state team and that very year, Perak
won the FA Cup! In 1998, he joined the Penang
state team as their captain. Needless to say,
along with it came greater responsibilities
as a heavier burden was placed on his able
shoulders. Rising to the challenge, he managed
to bring out the best from his team mates. The
highlights of his career include winning the FA
Cup twice and the Charity Shield once.
Since retiring, football has become more
of a hobby for this AC Milan and Liverpool
fan. Today, Mr Chee is enjoying life after
retirement. He is currently back with CRC and
spends most of his time with his lovely wife.
In his opinion, the quality of football in
this country has gone down. Nowadays, it is
difficult to make a living out of football alone.
He is also of the opinion that education is very
important and is the best weapon when facing
the world. He urges all ACS students to work
hard to achieve their goals.
Mr Chee Wan Hoe has done ACS and
himself proud. He has taken his own advice
and worked hard to achieve his goals. Let us
all be inspired by his success and work hard
to achieve our goals.

Mr Romesh Roy
The Voyager Board managed to conduct
an interview with Mr Romesh Roy, a
former student of ACS during one of the
semester breaks this year. Mr Romesh
Roy is currently practicing as a lawyer
in Ipoh. Below is an excerpt of the
Voyager’s interview with him:
VB: Can you please tell us a little about your educational
background?
RR: I started school in 1950 at ACS in a class that was then
known as Primary 1 (now known as Standard 1). In 1961,
when I was in the Lower 6th Form, I was offered an AFS
Scholarship to go to the United States for one year as an
exchange student. After I came back, I completed my sixth
form education and obtained a job as a teacher in Sam Tet
Secondary School.
VB: Later, where did you further your studies and what did you
do after you graduated?
RR: I went to the United Kingdom to study law. After I graduated
in 1969, I was admitted to the Bar and came back to Ipoh to
work in a law firm by the name of Maxwell Kenyon Cowdy
and Jones. I left the firm and in February 1984 established
the law firm of W.Y. Chan & Roy together with my partner,
Millie Chan Wai Yen, also a former student of ACS.
VB: Many people who have studied overseas will not return to
a small town such as Ipoh to establish a career. What made
you settle down in Ipoh?
RR: I love Ipoh and the people here. I have my roots in Ipoh.
It may be a quiet and tranquil town, but it is conveniently
situated between Penang and Kuala Lumpur and within easy
reach of Cameron Highlands and Pangkor Island. It only
takes two hours or less travel time to have a change if you
desire.
VB: As an ex-student and a person who has been involved in
performing arts for so long, what do you think of the
standard of stage plays as compared to those during your
school days?
RR: One very obvious difference is that the students’ proficiency
in English has declined. However there are talented student
actors and actresses who have put in much time and effort
during play practices. Students nowadays are more outgoing
too and when they are ready to perform they enjoy it
tremendously. ACS has a wonderful tradition of producing
plays and this should be kept up.

he laughingly says, ‘Of course Ipoh!’ Nevertheless, Fernando also loves
Bangsar where he can club at places like Zouk. (He’s of age … ha ha …)
Our multi-cultural lifestyle is also to his liking especially the variety of
food available here. Roti canai, wantan, fried rice and curry are among
his favourite food in Ipoh. In Peru, he normally eats rice with beef, pork
and potatoes. He finds ACS a nice and cool place with many friendly
people. Fernando has already completed his undergraduate studies in
Peru and may come back to Malaysia to study telecommunications.

VOYAGER THROUGH THE YEARS
(75 Chronicled Voyages)
THE SIXTIES
The good ship, though bruised and battered,
emerged triumphant! Improvements in this era
saw some new treasures displayed. Among these
treasures were ‘Gossip in the Gallery’, ‘Merritime
for Mariners’ a column for jokes, ‘Heard on the
Poop Deck’ (1965), ‘Panorama’ (1967) and ‘Old
Salts’.
With The Voyager’s 75th Anniversary, The
Voyager takes a bold step forward as we expand
our boundaries. A quick glance at our ship’s
log through the years reveals an exciting and
colourful past.
THE TWENTIES
In 1926, our founding fore fathers, Mr A R Crooke,
Mr Bunn and Miss Cass put forth the very first
issue of ‘The Voyager’ under the admiralship
of Reverend Proebstel. The Voyager Board was
known as ‘The Literary Magazine Committee’ in
those days and was steered by the skillful hands
of the dedicated teachers.
THE SEVENTIES
The ship floundered and there was an abrupt
halt put to several columns introduced in the
previous decade. They were ‘Heard on the Poop
Deck’, ‘Gossiping in the Gallery’, and ‘Merritime
for Mariners’. ‘Old Salts’ too sank mainly due to
the lack of contributions. In the early seventies,
only photographs of the sixth and fifth formers
were in ‘The Crew’. The photographs of the rest
of the crew were added in 1972. The Photography
Department came aboard and joined the jolly
crew.
THE THIRTIES
The ship sailed on, garnering new successes and
support. However, a rough sea ride through the
wildest storms and hurricanes lay ahead. War
clouds threaten the horizon.
THE FORTIES
The Second World War ravaged our ship and she
was stranded on a deserted island. It was six years
before we resumed our journey. In our first postwar issue (1947), ‘Leadline’, ‘Ship’s Log’, ‘From
the Bridge’, and ‘Culled from the Crew’ were
reincarnated. The ‘Sports Day’ and ‘Societies’
reports were very similar to those of today.
THE EIGHTIES
New compartments were built and more sailors
were taken on board. In keeping with the spirit of
adventure, The Voyager sailed on, changing our
symbol from a sailing ship to the space ship.
THE NINETIES
A big change! Our ship is repainted and she wears
a coat of many colours. New technologies and
equipment were introduced in The Voyager’s
control room to steer the ship to greater heights.
More sailors were recruited.
However the ‘Honours Rolls’ featured only
photographs of students in upper forms. ‘Culled
from the Crew’ used to feature essays in all
Malaysian languages. The staff photographs
only surfaced in 1949! By this time, the advisors
relaxed their hold on ‘The Voyager’ and played a
backstage role. Students took over and played a
more active role. Khong Khit Thong was the first
student editor and she was ably assisted by a team
of enthusiastic committee members.
TOWARDS THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Our ship continues to sail majestically in peaceful
waters through the millennium towards Vision
2020. It is proud of its accomplishments over the
past seven decades. It has been the key, unlocking
the portals of an untold wealth of knowledge for
the youth of this august school. It also is an
important chronicle of our past glories that inspire
us to continue to sail towards excellence.
THE FIFTIES
Pirates invaded the ship! There was difficulty
getting original masterpieces from the sailors.
The price of ‘The Voyager’ in these times was 2
dollars, the price of a ball point pen these days!
Just imagine!

1
Getting a Head Start
Start revising your subjects from the beginning of the exam year to avoid
a last minute rush hour…
Prepare A Masterplan
Plan a proper timetable and most importantly, stick to it!!
Stay Healthy
Eat well and exercise right … healthy body = healthy mind
Study Consistently
Make sure you study consistently throughout the week
100% Concentration
Put away all distractions: handphones off, music soft, computer off
Take Breaks In Between
Allow your mind to unwind and cool off at least every two hours but don’t
take too long a break… That’s a really bad habit… 15 minutes will do
Revise Past Years’ Papers
Doing past years’ papers is a great way to familiarise yourself with the
real style of exam questions
Know Your Exam Timetable Well
Get used to your exam timetable as you would not want to miss your
exams or to be late for your papers after all that studying
Have A Good Night’s Sleep
Don’t pull off all nighters so that you won’t doze off in the middle of your
exams … rest your brain well so it keeps your mind razor sharp
Be Calm, Confident And Don’t Panic
Relax, don’t think too much and do your papers well

Stellar Inspirations
Malaysia celebrates 50 years as an independent nation this
year. Efforts to explore new frontiers have culminated in
the mission to send our own angkasawan to space. The two
who had been shortlisted were Kapt Dr Faiz Khaleed, an
army dental surgeon, and orthopaedic surgeon Dr Sheikh
Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie. After the arduous training at
the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia, Dr Sheikh
Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie has been chosen to make the
flight. Come October 10th our very own angkasawan and two
cosmonauts will climb aboard a Soyuz spacecraft blasting
off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Now here in ACS, we, The Voyager Board and the English
Language Society, collaborated to search for our very
own aspiring angkasawan. Hence the competition Stellar
Inspirations. The idea was to get involved in our country’s
aspirations in a creative way. It was a chance to let our
imaginations run wild, coming up with amazing and bizarre
ideas AND the reason behind these ideas. Our ACSians rose
to the occasion and here we reproduce some of the best
ideas.
I would build a research faculty and a manufacturing plant on the moon
so that further studies on drugs and production of new drugs and medical
equipment can be carried out. This is because the environment in space
contains very little contaminants. This would enhance the quality of drugs
produced. Besides that, the absence of distractions in outer space would
enable scientists to concentrate on their projects.
Joshua Jeyenthiren Anantham (4B)
I would like to build an energy ball in the cislunar space that is the space
within the Moon’s orbit or on the Moon’s surface. I would build this energy
ball in space as there are less natural disasters when compared to Earth.
This has the added benefit of saving the Earth’s’ resources and enable Earth
to develop utilise the available land for other purposes that will benefit
mankind. ~ Wong Chee Yin (6RB)
The search for a new planet that is conducive for humans to live on would
be my priority. This is because we project that the sun will explode in about
150 million years. Therefore, to ensure the survival of humans, we shall
need a new planet that has a conducive environment for us to live in. It is
never too early to start looking and planning. ~ Yoong Weng Kian (4E)
I plan to do two things. The first is to take all kinds of food from the earth
to space (or any planet). Secondly, I want to bring a time capsule containing
items from the students of ACS and leave it in space (or any planet). I would
take all that food as I would like to observe what would happen to the food
when left in space and how fast it takes to decompose. The second part of
my plan is so the future astronauts who happen to find the capsule would
be able to know what was important to ACS students in 2007.
