Syabas di atas kejayaan Sidang Redaksi Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan
Methodist (ACS) menghasilkan majalah ini serta setinggi-tinggi penghargaan
kerana memberi ruang untuk saya menurunkan sepatah dua kata di ruangan
ini.
Kemajuan sesebuah negara bukan sahaja didorong oleh masyarakat yang
berilmu dan berpendidikan tetapi merangkumi keseluruhan pembangunan diri
setiap individu. Manusia yang berjaya adalah manusia yang berilmu, berakhlak
mulia dan berketrampilan hasil kecerdikan akalnya, kesedaran dalaman dan
kesejahteraan jasmaninya. Hasrat untuk melahirkan manusia yang mempunyai
ciri-ciri berkenaan boleh dicapai sekiranya para pendidik komited, berdedikasi
dan bersungguh-sungguh menjalankan tugas selain bersedia melaksanakan
perubahan.
Para pelajar pula dituntut melengkapkan diri dengan pelbagai ilmu dan
kemahiran dalam usaha mewujudkan generasi bestari dan berdaya saing.
Dalam zaman ledakan maklumat ini, pengetahuan, kemahiran dan kepakaran
dalam menguasai ilmu amat diperlukan.
Kita semua bertanggungjawab melahirkan generasi yang berilmu, mempunyai
akhlak yang mulia dan mampu memberi sumbangan yang positif kepada
keluarga, masyarakat dan negara. Sejajar dengan itu, pengetua, guru-guru
dan tokoh-tokoh pendidikan perlu memainkan peranan sewajarnya dalam
usaha mencapai kecemerlangan agar transformasi sosial yang kita inginkan
menjadi kenyataan.
Menyedari hakikat itu, Kementerian Pelajaran telah menggubal dasar,
mengadakan program dan mengambil pendekatan yang wajar bagi memastikan
sistem pendidikan negara relevan dengan keadaan semasa. Perubahan yang
dilaksanakan pastinya akan membawa semangat baru bagi mengukuhkan lagi
hubungan masyarakat Malaysia yang berbilang bangsa serta kedudukan negara
di peringkat antarabangsa.
Sesungguhnya kecemerlangan bangsa meraih banyak pengorbanan dan
kesungguhan usaha semua pihak. Pelajar-pelajar dan guru-guru generasi hari
inilah ditumpahkan semua harapan untuk merealisasikan sebuah masyarakat
Malaysia yang Cemerlang, Gemilang dan Terbilang.
Selamat Maju Jaya.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh dan Salam Sejahtera.
Saya bersyukur ke hadrat Allah SWT, yang telah mengizinkan penerusan usaha
penerbitan majalah THE VOYAGER, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Methodist
(ACS), Ipoh bagi tahun 2004. Terima kasih diucapkan kepada sidang redaksi
majalah yang memberikan sedikit ruang untuk saya menukilkan sebaris dua bicara.
Tahniah dan syabas diucapkan kepada Pengetua, guru-guru serta sidang redaksi
majalah yang berjaya menyatukan idea dan usaha dalam menerbitkan dokumentasi
nostalgia bagi tahun ini. Segala rakaman peristiwa, laporan serta catatan suka
duka diharap akan menjadi cetusan motivasi bagi meningkatkan kualiti diri setiap
warga sekolah.
Generasi kini berdepan dengan pelbagai cabaran hebat seperti cabaran masa depan,
cabaran globalisasi dan cabaran liberalisasi. Cabaran-cabaran ini selaras dengan
Gagasan Perak Gemilang yang berasaskan empat teras utama iaitu kurikulum,
kokurikulum, sahsiah dan kepemimpinan. Untuk merealisasikan hasrat ini,
kepemimpinan pendidikan dan pengurus pendidikan peringkat sekolah perlu
mengamalkan profesionalisme yang tinggi bagi mengukuhkan dan meningkatkan
kualiti pendidikan dan ia merupakan tanggungjawab semua pihak. Usaha ini
penting dalam mewujudkan rangsangan positif melalui gagasan ini akan
merangsang semangat juang dan meningkatkan kecemerlangan dan kegemilangan
pendidikan di negeri Perak. Pemimpin pendidikan pada setiap peringkat perlu
bertindak proaktif, inovatif dan bersikap futuristik. Perubahan dan kemajuan dalam
bidang pendidikan yang pesat dan begitu pantas hendaklah diikuti dengan
semangat yang membara serta keyakinan yang tinggi dan tekal untuk membolehkan
kita bersaing dan memperoleh kejayaan. Kita perlu bersedia mendepani halangan
dan kekangan serta bersedia pula untuk berkorban demi kejayaan organisasi
pendidikan di peringkat sekolah.
Gagasan ‘Perak Gemilang’ hanya akan membuahkan hasil andainya semua warga
pendidikan di Perak bersedia untuk bermuhasabah diri, mengakui kekurangan
dan kesilapan, mengenal pasti kekuatan dan peluang, di samping kesanggupan
untuk bekerja keras bagi menghadapi pelbagai cabaran. Saya yakin dan optimis
bahawa dengan kerjasama semua pihak, aspirasi murni yang tersurat dan tersirat
daripada gagasan ‘Perak Gemilang’ dapat melonjakkan mutu pendidikan negeri
Perak ke tahap Gemilang akan tercapai.
Akhir kata saya ucapkan selamat maju jaya kepada semua warga Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan Methodist (ACS), Ipoh.
Sekian, terima kasih. “Perak Gemilang”

Cabaran untuk mengukuhkan dan meningkatkan kualiti pendidikan adalah

agar murid yang dilahirkan dari sistem persekolahan merupakan insan yang

Pendidikan adalah satu wahana kecemerlangan bangsa pada era serba moden
ini. Sekolah dan setiap institusi pendidikan memainkan peranan penting dalam
membekalkan ilmu bagi menentukan arah tuju pembangunan serta
menerapkan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan yang murni kepada anak-anak bangsa
bagi merealisasikan wawasan 2020.
Segala ilmu dan maklumat perlu dimanipulasikan secara berakhlak dan murni

Kita juga perlu merangkai segala kongkongan tradisi dan konvensional secara

dengan penuh tanggungjawab dan ikhlas. Akhir kata, saya ucapkan selamat

Once again, it is with pleasure that I pen a few lines to commemorate the school
publication of “The Voyager.”
There is an everlasting and rich tradition affirm to this magazine. Every year,
we record a new milestone on the path to success and achievements in various
arenas. These are documented to add a chapter to our history book. I express
my sincere appreciation to the Principal, Mr Tan Taik Lee, the teachers and
members of the Editorial Board of their magnificient works.
SMK Methodist (ACS) Ipoh has always been the preferential choice of parents
in Ipoh, seeking the best institution for their young children. It is our goal, not
only to strive for academic excellence, but to enable every child in our classroom,
could be guided and moulded to be a righteous person, one who has wisdom
and good character, one who can endeavour the journey in life and one who
will be respected and useful citizen in our community. To the teachers, your
dedication and noble works shall always be cherished and appreciated by
parents and students. On behalf of the Board of Governors, I thank you.
Looking back, we have been blessed with all the wonderful works of our past
dedicated servants, not forgetting the Methodist missionaries being our
founders. Members of the Board of Governors are given the task to maintain
the facilities in this complex and at the same time to keep track of the changes
necessary. I express my humble appreciation to the PIBG, OBA and members
in the Board for their utmost performances of their duties and services rendered.
As we continue to strive forward-Sailing towards Excellence-we pray to God
Almighty for His Grace and Blessing be upon this school.
All Glory Be To God.

Terima kasih saya ucapkan kepada Lembaga THE VOYAGER 2004/2005 kerana
telah memberi peluang kepada saya untuk menyampaikan sepatah dua kata dalam
majalah tahun ini. Memang kelihatan ahli-ahli Lembaga THE VOYAGER membuat
perancangan teliti untuk menerbitkan majalah yang tinggi mutunya. Syabas dan
tahniah saya ucapkan kepada lembaga THE VOYAGER.
Tunjang kepada proses pendidikan adalah untuk melahirkan insan yang baik,
seimbang dan bersepadu berpaksikan kepada kepatuhan dan keyakinan kepada
Tuhan yang kemudiannya dapat memberikan sumbangan kepada masyarakat dan
negara. Sistem pendidikan yang berkesan harus berupaya melahirkan anak didik
yang berilmu, kreatif, berfikiran kritis, berdaya saing, penyayang dan berakhlak
mulia. Dalam hal ini, semua aktiviti di sekolah sama ada berbentuk sama ada
berbentuk kurikulum atau kokurikulum perlu menjurus untuk mencapai matlamat
murni ini.
Segala ilmu dan maklumat ini perlu dimanipulasikan secara berakhlak dan murni
sejajar dengan tuntutan Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan dan Wawasan 2020. Kita
juga perlu merungkai segala kongkongan tradisi dan konvensional secara bijaksana
sehingga tidak melewati batas agama dan budaya.
Memang tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa ACS merupakan sebuah sekolah premier
lagi unggul. Sekolah ini juga sedang berusaha menyediakan kemudahan untuk
pelajar, khususnya berkaitan teknologi pendidikan, prasarana dan persekitaran
yang kondusif untuk pembelajaran bagi memastikan pelajar sentiasa dibekalkan
dengan teknologi terkini dalam sistem pembelajaran dan tidak ketinggalan dalam
persaingan dunia globalisasi kini.
Kejayaan yang dicapai oleh SMK Methodist (ACS) Ipoh dalam bidang akademik,
kokurikulum dan kesahsiahan memang amat membanggakan. Cabaran utama
ACS kini ialah untuk mempertahankan kecemerlangan tersebut dan meningkatkan
lagi prestasi dalam semua bidang yang diceburi. SMK Methodist (ACS) Ipoh juga
mempunyai staf akademik yang komited. Memang tidak dapat dinafikan kejayaan
para pelajar merupakan hasil usaha gigih para guru yang berdedikasi.
Akhir kata saya merakamkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan mengucapkan ribuan
terima kasih kepada Pengerusi dan Ahli-ahli Lembaga Pengelola Sekolah, pihak
PIBG, penyokong-penyokong sekolah, guru-guru, kakitangan sokongan, ibu bapa

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Editorial Board on their success

On behalf of the parents, I wish to convey our deepest appreciation and thanks
to the excellent work done by the school management and the teachers.
We are proud and happy to notice, the vast improvements made to the
infrastructure of the school, the students academic performances especially in
the STPM examination where the school was listed as one of the best school in
the whole of Malaysia and co-curricular performances that have upheld the
traditions of the school and its motto ‘ACS Leads The Way’.
The PTA is proud to be able to work closely with the school authorities to nurture
our children to excel in every field and to be the best premier school in the state
and country. The success of our ex-students in the public and private sectors is
the best testimony to our school’s excellence.
I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to the parents and ex-students
of the school to come forward and extend their financial and moral support to
help the school to progress and achieve success in every field that they take
part.
I, once again, wish to thank the Principal, Mr. Tan Taik Lee, senior assistants,
senior teachers, teachers and staff, the Board of Governors, the ACS Primary
School and the Chinese and Tamil Churches within the Methodist compound
for their kind assistance and co-operation extended to the secondary school
and the students.

same aim as we do. The love for the school and the ultimate desire to serve is
the driving force of the PTA.
The PTA needs all the support that it can get to make this school a better one.
So let us pray that we will achieve all that we have prayed for.

Another year has passed. The events that occurred in our country during the past year
have given us the opportunity to reflect upon the state of our hearts and the state of our
minds as citizens of a free, democratic and caring society.
We have a new Prime Minister who places his hope on the potentials of young hearts
and minds to meet the challenges of a new day. The National Science Centre, in catching
this new mood, has sought to orientate these young hearts and minds towards the path
of creative achievement by organizing an Exhibition to highlight the lives and work of
more than 700 Nobel Laureates in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or
Medicine, Literature, Economics and Peace. Thousands of students from our schools
would have walked through the Exhibition by now. In doing so, they would have realized
that the life-work of these Laureates has been the result of what George Bernard Shaw
described as both ‘inspiration’ and ‘perspiration’-both creativity and hard work.
To take a leaf from the Literature Laureates, we must inculcate in our young people the
love of reading that is the first step towards the making of a successful writer. Diane
Wakoski captured this love so well when she writes:
“I live for books
and light to read them in…
This book I read
floats in my hand like a waterlily
coming out of the nutrient waters
of thought
and light shines on us both,
the morning’s breviary.”
In the same way, the Laureates in the other disciplines were nurtured through the
fundamentals of both their craft and art. They had spent their initial years reviewing
the work that their predecessors had done, before they embarked on their own journey
and received their own inspiration.
A couple of months ago, I was able to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Class of ‘54
of my old school with the surviving members of that class. We talked about our teachers,
about our learning experiences, about our youthful experiments and exploits, and of
how much we owe to those early, initial steps that we had made.
But like our new Prime Minister, we, too place our hopes not on ourselves, but on the
young people in our schools today. They are our future Laureates, whose hearts and
minds will lead them to achievements which will make our country proud.
May you always be mindful of those who have gone before you, that you may walk in
their steps, and go beyond them-as they have always intended that you should. The
grace and peace of God be with you all!

May I again take this opportunity to pen another short message for the
VOYAGER on behalf of our alumni association.
Coming next year, our alma mater is reaching its epoch of a century and a
decade of educational achievement. It is time to begin celebration for our alma
mater and alumni to refresh the bond and fellowship with fanfares and festivities
for such a memorable event. I personally note that the archives of our alma
mater achievements are not regularly highlighted. Features of success for our
intellectual alumni are another short coming. The tendency of our school leavers
forgetting the bond with our alma mater is a glaring conclusion in the search
for excellence. Perhaps the robotic world of science and technology has become
a virtual reality. Our days of healthy lifestyle, liberality and social activities
maybe blemished forever if the generation trend persist.
Congratulation to the VOYAGER for yet another publication.

It gives me a great pleasure to write this message to the Voyager, and I must express at
the outset my thanks to the School and the Editorial board for giving me this privilege
and responsibility once again. Your School is indeed one that you can all take pride in
for the excellence you continually demonstrate.
As the country and the school are both constantly on the move, I would like to share
some thoughts with you on how we should view the changes around us and in us.
Change
Nothing in this world is permanent of itself, and even Ipoh is changing. The road in
front of the school is getting more and more crowded. Every student who wants to
drive to school cannot expect to have a parking space, nor can parents expect to drive
into the school complex any more. Teachers are being supplied with laptop computers
and LCD projectors for classroom teaching. They can no longer afford the luxury of not
knowing how to type or of being a computer illiterate. We are often overwhelmed by
the rapid pace of change all round us.
But change is not necessarily bad in and of itself. It can be sign of growth and of
improvement, provided we are willing to face the challenges. Student by nature change
throughout their years in school-physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually,they are suppposed to keep growing and improving. It cannot be otherwise. The
problem, of course, is that this growth and improvement is often slow and hard-going,
especially for the students who cannot wait to finish school and go on to something
more exciting, more interesting and more wonderful. This cannot happen, however,
unless each student is given time to grow, to change and to mature.
Chrysalis
Think of the chrysalis or pupa,-the development stage between a caterpillar and butterfly.
Few, if any, like caterpillars, and almost everyone loves and enjoy looking at a butterfly.
But without the caterpillar, there can be no butterfly. The ugly caterpillar has to come
first; it grows and in the course of time it evolves into a glorious butterfly. Note too that
it must also go through the intermediate stage of the chrysalis, the dry ugly and deadlooking thing. Nothing seems to be and the butterfly dies. Allow nature to take its
course, a fully formed butterfly finally emerges in all its beauty for the world to see.
God works in ways that we oftentimes do not understand, but let Him work out His
prefect plan in each of us and we shall come to know the fullness of joy and purposes to
our lives. The studies and school work may be difficult now, but do the best that you
can as a student, put in all the labour and struggles you face day by day, learn everything
you can. Until the beautiful person you are meant to be finally emerges. May the Lord
God bless you and your school richly, and help you to go on from glory to glory.
All glory be to God.

First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the editorial
board of the Voyager 2004 for giving me the honour to pen down a few lines in
this magazine which is among the many long running heritage of ACS Ipoh. It
is indeed very fulfilling to be part of this splendid school, being able to share
all its glory and achievements that few other institutions can only hope to match.
109 years in existence only serves to further establish ACS Ipoh’s proud history
and prominent culture together with an unmistakable identity.
Many things have changed in ACS throughout these years. Among them are
the use of whiteboard markers’ replacing chalks, car parks for students, shelters
for the swimming pool, 3 computer rooms now, a total of 4 AVAs, the recent
upgrade of our grand auditorium, the list just goes on. But whatever it may be,
these changes have been very positive and conducive indeed, for the sole
purpose of providing the best for all fellow ACSians to enjoy.
Besides that, ACS Ipoh is well known for its prowess in the sporting arena,
most notably in swimming events. To have produced so many athletes of worldclass quality such as our dear Allen Ong and Cheah Soon Kit is certainly an
enviable achievement of this institution. Our water polo boys have been
defending their state champion’s title close to a decade now. As a matter of
fact, the entire list of outstanding achievements by our fellow ACSians would
simply be impossible to be listed out here; it clearly shows the enormity of our
school’s success.
Furthermore, the academic excellence of our students is well-known throughout
the country. Our debaters and public speakers for example are of sheer
excellence and radiance; they never fail to invoke fear towards their opponents.
The STPM results in ACS is extraordinary, we can take pride in the knowledge
that ACS is ranked among the top schools in the nation.
Last but not the least; I would like to take this opportunity to express my most
sincere gratitude to our principal, Mr. Tan Taik Lee, our Senior Assistant
(Students Affair), Mr. Goh Kim Thun, Senior Assistant (Co-curricular) Mr.
Ahmad Zainuddin, Prefect’s Teacher Advisor, Mr. Rahman, Discipline master,
Mr. Meor and also Pn Susila for all their support and vital guidance given to
the Prefect’s Board of 2003/04.

Head Librarian
“To remain as I am is impossible. I must die or be better…” – Abraham Lincoln
Progress is essential for the improvement of oneself. Based on this adage, our school
has strove for the past century to produce capable and outstanding professionals
and unique individuals. It can be said that our school has reached one of its
objectives as an institute of learning. I am proud to be an honorary member of this
big family, ACS.
Our school owns one of the best school libraries in Ipoh or probably even Perak
housing books ranging from before the World War 1 era to the latest books today.
We have come a long way since the founding of Mrs. Ram’s Memorial Library. Our
books now total more than 50,000, with more than 1,000 books being added each
year. This year, our library has improved itself by sporting a new look with the
new arrangement of shelves and the addition of new air-conditioners. Also, our
library has received the honour of being selected as one of the competitors in the
state level competition for school libraries.
The maintenance of such a big and established library requires a lot of dedication,
commitment and creativity. Thus, to be a librarian, one needs to possess such
qualities to ensure that the library runs smoothly. The librarians have organised
numerous activities for students, namely the UN International Day of Peace
Exhibition, the book fair and the Science exhibition. Our library too has transformed
itself to a digitalised library with the introduction of matrix card this year. Hence,
with the help of the librarians has revolutionised and become more efficient than
ever before.
Being the Head Librarian for this year has taught me to become a more analytical
and accountable individual. The library has given me many fond memories and
experiences which I shall never forget and it will always hold a special place in my
heart.
Last but not least, I would like to express my heart felt gratitude to the Principal,
Mr. Tan, former Senior Assistant, Pn Zalikha, Senior Assistant, Mr. Mansur, Senior
Assistant of Student Affairs. Mr. Goh, Senior Assistant of Co-curriculum,Mr.
Zainuddin as well as the teacher advisors of BOSL, Mrs. Chin Theam Him and
Mrs. Teoh Beng Guat. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Yeoh for all his contributions,
the librarians for all their hard work and the Voyager Board of ACS for giving me
this privilege.
Thank you. “We Are Proud To Be One”

Report of the Ipoh Anglo-Chinese School
Alumni Association Malaysia (1967)
T
his year is a special year for the Association
because it is an election year for office
bearers. The Annual General Meeting was
held on 27 March 2004 at 3.00 p.m. at our new
Secretariat for the first time. Over twenty members
attended and the meeting went on without a hitch.
The new committee for 2004-2006 saw some new
faces and a slight reshuffle of portfolios. Mr. Looi
Teik Aun remained the President. Mr. Victor Chew
retained his Secretary’s position and Mr. Chooi
Choon Yin, the Treasurer’s post. Mr. Chin Yoong
Kim became the Vice-President. Our former VicePresident reverted to the post of Assistant
Treasurer. The only former committee member to
retain his position was Mr. Lee Seong Yan. New
to the committee is Mr. Thiruchelvam a teacher in
ACS Ipoh, who is now the Assistant Secretary.
Other new faces are Datuk Balaravi, Mr. Chan
Heng Woh, En. Shaari Hashim and Mr. Manika
Raj. This is the first time all the races are
represented in the Executive Committee for a long
time.
At the first executive committee meeting Ms. Foo
Nyuk Yong and Mr. Cheah Tong Kim were
nominated as committee members. Miss Foo
would look after our alumni who are ladies.
Many proposals were received during the Annual
General Meeting and some requested for increased
activities of the Association. The Executive
Committee is looking into thepossibility of holding
regular talks for members and the general public
on education and health. I woul dalso look into
the increased use of the Association’s premises.
The possibility of establishing branches in the
Klang Valley is almost a reality and it is hoped
that alumni in other parts of Malaysia would start
branches elsewher, too. A trust fund for
scholarships would be set up soon. We are
working on additional sporting activities for both
members and the school.
An annual reunion dinner was held on 31 July 2004
at the Red Crescent Hall, Ipoh and over 500
members and friends attended. The highlight of
the dinner was the presentation of awards to top
STPM student, Lingesh Sivanesan, top SPM
student, Gerald Stephen Joseph and Primary
School Star Pupil, Esan Ravi Chandran. Cash
prizes of RM1,000.00, RM500.00 and RM250.00
were presented respectively. (Lingesh donated the
entire sum for the scholarship fund.) Many former
teachers were also invited by ex-pupils and
heading the list was Mr. Chin Ah Koon, who is
over 90 years old. A few State Assembly Members
who are also alumni were present. They are Dato’
Yik Phooi Hoong, Dato’ Chew Wai Khoon and Mr.
Vincent Hooi. The Annual Reunion Dinner 2004
kept to its tradition of being informal without any
special guest of honour. Even Yang Berhormats
were treated as alumni.
The plan for 2004 includes regular newsletters to
be sent to members and those alumni who request
for them and alumni who are parents of pupils
who are interested in our activities. The newsletter,
“Ye Olde Salt” has taken a new approach. Instead
of merely publishing news of the Association, it
has taken up issues pertaining to Ipoh for
highlighting and it also featured prominent alumni
in every edition. This is in line with the
committee’s desire to be more involved in the local
community and its affairs.
We are looking forward to the coming year when
ACS Ipoh will be celebrating its 110th anniversary.
We are planning a big reunion dinner and a book
to commemorate this special event. We look
forward to the support of the Board of Governors,
the Parent Teacher Association and the two schools
(staff, pupils and parents) and we intend to make
it one of the most memorable events in this
Centenary.

Pengurusan sekolah secara berkesan amat penting
untuk mencapai kecemerlangan pendidikan
keseluruhanya. Usaha mencemerlangkan
pendidikan negara melibatkan kerjasama
daripada semua warga pendidikan daripada
semua peringkat persekolahan. Persekolahan
peringkat menengah merupakan tahap kedua
dalam proses pendidikan formal yang dilalui oleh
generasi muda. Peringkat ini merupakan satu
peringkat yang amat mencabar kerana anak-anak
didik sedang berada dalam zaman remaja iaitu
satu zaman anak-anak mencari identiti diri,
mudah terpengaruh dan merupakan tahap
pengisian untuk bekalan zaman dewasa.
Menyedari keadaan ini pengurusan sekolah ini
berhasrat untuk mencapai kecemerlangan
pendidikan melalui pengurusan kepimpinan
sekolah, pengurusan kurikulum, pengurusan
kokurikulum dan pengurusan sahsiah dan
disiplin. Pengurusan empat aspek ini berpandu
kepada Falsafah Pendidikan Negara yang telah di
cerna ke dalam Wawasan Pendidikan Perak.
Wawasan Pendidikan Perak telah mencetuskan
idea pengarah pendidikan seperti PERAK No. 1,
Perak Cemerlang dan Perak Gemilang.
Pengurusan sekolah ini telah, sedang dan akan
terus melaksanakan 10 cabaran dalam Perak
Gemilang.

An Interview with 2003
SPM Top Scorers
Question 1: What do you feel about getting such great results?
Weng Fong: I am over the moon now. I think it is very fascinating and I am
very grateful to have obtained these results.
Gerald:
I am very excited and happy that all my hard work had finally
paid off handsomely.
Devin:
Words cannot describe how I feel now. I am extremely happy.
Wai Mun:
I am happy, (paused) very happy.
Question 2: Who are among those who had been aiding you in studies that
you would like to thank?
Gerald:
First of all, my teachers and also my friends. They had selflessly
guided me towards my success.
Devin:
Fo me, I would love to thank my parents, my school teachers,
my tuition teachers and not forgetting all my friends who had
been there for me.
Wai Mun:
That would be my brother, who had helped me a lot (Not
because he is right here listening as this interview is going on.)
Question 3: Any particular study methods that you practised?
Weng Fong: I had always believe in studying smart and not studying hard. I
always make sure that I am well-prepared to face any exam at
all.
Gerald:
No. I study according to my mood and only study when I feel
like doing it. Whenever I study, it is a serious business. I
concentrate hard when I study.
Devin:
For me. I studied consistently for the whole year, not during
the last minute. And I also pay full attention in class.
Wai Mun:
I give my full attention when I study. Whenever I am in doubt.
I ask my brother. Oh yes, I also go for tuition for certain subjects
only.
Question 4: Any advise for me upcoming SPM candidates?
Weng Fong: Keep yourself fit for a couple of hours before going for tuition.
It is very important that you ‘recharge’ yourself or it would only
be a waste.
Gerald:
Do not get too active in your SPM year.
Devin:
Study hard and get better results than ours.
Wai Mun:
Just study, study, study,… and ask if you don’t understand.

etelah 10 tahun menikmati khidmat Pn Zalikha Abd. Rashid, warga ACS
terpaksa menerima hakikat bahawa kami telah kehilangan seorang
Penolong Kanan 1 yang berdedikasi dan disanjungi. Pada 21 Januari 2004,
Pn Zalikha telah berpindah secara rasminya ke SMK Tanjung Rambutan untuk
mengisi jawatan Pengetua di sekolah tersebut.
Pn Zalikha merupakan seorang graduan dari University Malaya dengan kelulusan
BA (Hons) dan mempunyai Diploma dalam Pendidikan.
perpisahan
PN ZALIKHA ABD. RASHID
Penolong Kanan 1 ACS Ipoh
Pada 16 Februari 1999, beliau telah ditukarkan ke ACS dari SMK Raja Chulan
sebagai seorang Guru Kanan Kemanusiaan, Pn Zalikha juga telah dinaikkan dari
pangkat guru DG3 kepada DG2 pada 1 Disember 2000. Pada tahun yang
berikutnya iaitu 1 Mac 2001, beliau telah dinaikkan pangkatnya untuk menjawat
jawatan Penolong Kanan 1 dan terus berkhidmat di ACS dengan cemerlanganya
sehingga hari beliau ditukarkan ke SMK Tanjung Rambutan.
Dalam temuramah beliau, Pn Zalikha telah meluahkan kesedihannya untuk
meninggalkan ACS setelah 10 tahun berkhidmat di sini dan ACS sudah
merupakan sebahagian daripada diri beliau. Pn Zalikha juga menyatakan bahawa
ACS mempunyai banyak keistimewaan dan potensi dalam semua aspek
pendidikan.
Apabila ditanya tentang perkara yang sukar untuk dilupakan di sekolah ini, Pn
Zalikha berkata bahawa beliau tidak dapat melupakan pelajar-pelajar dan guruguru ACS termasuk pengetua, para pentadbir serta staf sokongannya. Beliau
juga menyatakan perasaan gembiranya sebagai Guru Kanan Kemanusiaan dan
diminta oleh En. Thomas Kok untuk menubuhkan Muzium ACS sempena
ulangtahun ACS ke-100. Peristiwa-peristiwa ini merupakan kenangan manisnya
bersama guru dan pelajar Tingkatan 6 ACS pada tahun 1995.
Pn. Zalikha, we'll miss you!
Akhir sekali, Pn Zalikha telah meninggalkan pesanan kepada pelajar-pelajar
supaya belajar bersungguh-sungguh kerana masa muda tidak boleh disia-siakan.
Kepada warga kerja ACS pula, beliau berharap kalian akan bekerja dengan penuh
komitmen dan memupuk sifat “sense of belonging” terhadap institusi tempat
bekerja.
Sememangnya, kewujudan Pn Zalikha telah mengukir memori yang amat
mendalam dalam jiwa setiap warga ACS. Kami berdoa semoga Pn Zalikha
dirahmati dengan kebahagiaan sepanjang perjalanan hidup beliau.
A gift of appreciation.
Pn Zalikha’s Interview
1. Apakah perasaan cikgu tentang pertukaran ini?
Saya berasa sedih untuk bertukar ke tempat baru kerana saya telah berada
hampir 10 tahun di ACS. ACS telah menjadi sebahagian daripada diri saya,
lebih-lebih lagi sekolah ini ada banyak keistimewaan dan potensi dalam
semua aspek pendidikan.
2. Apakah perkara yang sukar dilupakan di sekolah ini?
Saya sukar, malah tak mungkin dapat melupakan keistimewaan pelajarpelajar dan guru-guru ACS termasuk juga pengetua, para pentadbir dan staf
sokongan; pengalaman saya sebagai Guru Kanan Kemanusiaan dan diminta
oleh En. thomas Kok menubuhkan Muzium ACS sempena 100th ACS
merupakan kenangan manis saya bersama guru dan pelajar Tingkatan 6 ACS
tahun 1995.
Inspiring words from Mr Thomas Kok.
3. Apakah nasihat cikgu untuk murid-murid semua?
Sebagai seorang pendidik nasihat saya kepada pelajar tentulah belajar
bersungguh-sungguh kerana masa muda kita tidak boleh dipersia-siakan.
Kepada semua warga kerja ACS, saya berharap bekerja dengan penuh
komitmen dan penuh sifat ‘sense of belonging’ terhadap institusi tempat kita
bekerja.

farewell
Cik Mazita Othman
farewell
Pn Pergasker
Pada 1 Januari 2004, warga ACS telah kehilangan
seorang lagi guru yang bertanggungjawab, cekap dan
disayangi ramai. Cik Mazita Othman merupakan
seorang siswazah graduan UiTM dengan kelulusan BA
(Hons), Mass Communication dan Diploma dalam
Pendidikan.
Our beloved teacher Pn Pergasker retired on the 24th of January 2004.
Pn Pergasker started her teaching carrier on the 13th of May 1973 in S K Dato
Mahmud Paduka Raja. Three years later she was transferred to SM Zainab Kota
Bahru and then to SM Sultan Yahya Petra, Kuala Kerai.
Cik Mazita telah ditugaskan untuk berkhidmat di ACS
sebagai sekolah pertamanya pada 3 Julai 1995.
Sepanjang khidmat beliau di sekolah ini, Cik Mazita bukan sahaja merupakan
seorang guru yang berdedikasi, malah telah melaksanakan tanggungjawab
sebagai guru penasihat ‘Persatuan Sejarah dan Pengurusan Muzium’ dengan
baiknya.
Pn Pergasker who is well remembered for her generosity, warmth and kindness
also taught in SM Menglembu before serving her 15 years in ACS.
She is fondly loved by her Form 3 students and will be missed by all ACSians.
Setelah berada di ACS lebih kurang 9 tahun, Cik Mazita telah ditukarkan ke sekolah
SMK Convent Bukit Mertajam. Walaupun kami berasa berat hati kerana
kehilangan seorang pendidik yang berkaliber, kami warga ACS tetap berdoa agar
Cik Mazita dapat meneruskan kariernya dengan berjaya di sekolah tersebut.
S1 : Apa perasaan cikgu apabila meninggalkan sekolah ini?
CM : Taklah seronok sangat……
S2 : Apakah nasihat cikgu untuk pelajar-pelajar?
CM : Kita hendaklah menghormati orang lain jikalau kita hendak orang lain
menghormati kita. Kita juga jangan sekali-kali sombong diri dan
hendaklah bekerjasama selalu dalam melaksanakan sesuatu tugas.
S3 : Apa pendapat cikgu terhadap murid-murid?
CM : Apa yang saya dapa teliti sepanjang 9 tahun saya berkhidmat di sini
ialah pelajar-pelajar bersungguh-sungguh dalam mengejar kejayaan.
Walau bagaimanapun terdapat segelintir yang kurang serius dan tiada
persaingan di antara mereka.
S4 : Apakah prinsip yang cikgu pegang dalam kehidupan seharian?
CM : Kita hendaklah bekerja seperti sebuah keluarga terutamanya dengan
rakan-rakan sekerja cikgu. Cikgu juga seorang yang tahu mengenang
budi.
(CM - Cikgu Mazita)
En. Azhar Ibrahim
S1 : Apa perasaan cikgu apabila meninggalkan
sekolah ini?

meninggalkan sekolah ini, tetapi seronok
kerana dapat bersama keluarga di Kelantan!
S2 : Apa pandangan cikgu terhadap pelajarpelajar ACS Ipoh?
CA : Pelajarnya baik-baik belaka.
S3 : Apakah nasihat cikgu untuk pelajar-pelajar?
S4 : Apakah kenangan manis yang tidak dapat dilupakan?

jangan lupa berdoa selalu. Kita hanya dapat mengecapi kejayaan apabila
masalah itu dapat diselesaikan.

berkhidmat di sekolah ini.

a warm welcome
En. Ahmad Zainuddin
Ahmad Ramal
O
n 17the October 2003, the school welcomed it’s new
Penolong Kanan Hal Ehwal Murid, En. Ahmad Zainuddin
Ahmad Ramal, who filled in the vacancy left by Pn
Manjit Kaur early this year. En. Ahmad Zainuddin received
his education at the Swiss Cottage Integrated Secondary
School and from there proceeded to Senior Cambridge for
four years. Next, he proceeded to the Maktab Perguruan
Sultan Idris, Tanjung Malim, Perak from 1974-1975.
After his graduation,he was first posted to Sarawak where he
took on the post of the Penolong Kanan 1 from 1976-1980.
He was then transferred to a school in Rawang, Selangor for
six years. He then became a teacher in Universiti Pertanian
Malaysia from 1984-1980. He also spent 12 years teaching
in Sekolah Tunku Abdul Rahman before he was transferred to
this school.
He feels that ACS Ipoh is very much different from the previous
schools he taught in because most of the students here are
capable of carrying out responsibilities, unlike his previous
schools where they mostly depended on the teachers. He
also feels that the students here are creative, engergetic,
possess leadership qualities and never fail to rise to the
occasion. He has decided to take on a different point of
view as a teacher in our school, where he chooses to give
more freedom to the students to come up with their own
ideas.
As a new Penolong Kanan Hal Ehwal Murid in our school, he
undoubtedly has many plans for the school. He hopes to see
more students taking part in
co-curricular activities like
sports and societies. He
hopes that the students will
mix around so that they will
understand each other’s
culture to bring them closer
together. Besides that, he
also hopes that the school
will be able to excel in other
sporting events besides
water polo, like badminton,
diving, athletics and cricket.
We believe that En. Ahmad
Zainuddin, with his many
years of experience will be
able to lead the school to
greater
heights
of
achievement.

a school with great achievements in both academics and cocurricular activities such as aquatics and golf. About his
opinion onn the shcool’s staff and administration, he replied
confidently that they are a unique and united group and he
will have no problem working and communicating with them.
He also stated that he wanted to introduce archery and make
it one of the school’s main sporting events. Hence, we asked
him if he had any experience in sports and he gave us a brief

The Fire
On the 14th of August 2004, a part of our school
building caught fire. There were no casualties but a
lost of school equipment estimated at RM20,000.
An interview with our school security guard Mr Rahman
reveals the tragedy as follows:
What a mess!
2.33 pm – Fellow prefect, Kulasegaran noticed smoke
from the Prefect’s Room. Seeing this he reported the
matter to Mr. Rahman who immediately went to check
on it while Kulasegaran calls the police and fire
department for help. Mr. Rahman then reported this
matter to Mr. Mansor before shutting down the block’s
main source of electricity.
3 pm – The fire brigade arrives. They had to break
down doors and windows to battle the fire inside the
building.
4 pm – The fire is finally extinguished.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined. Our
school is now taking preventive measures to ensure
that this incident does not happen again. Tighter
school rules will be enforced and a teacher in charge
should always be present in any school activities.
What a horrific view.

Rotary Four-Way Test • Essay-Writing Contest 2004
The 4-way Test was conceived by Herbert J. Taylor, a Chicago Rotarian and
president of Rotary International in 1954 to 1955. He applied the 4-way test
to the operation of his company with a remarkable result and he finally
saved his company from being closed down as a bankrupt organisation.
The 4-Way Test has been used successfully around the world in business,
government and schools as an effective guide to right thinking. If memorized
and constantly applied to the relationships we have with others, it will
contribute to more effective and friendlier interactions.
Basically, the 4-Way Test talks abou truth, goodwill and fairness that can be
applied in our daily lives. “Is it the truth?” is the basic call for truth and honesty
that Mr. Taylor’s test begins. As truth is to be the fact of doing business, so
fairness is to its people. Are we usually, aware of what we are actually
speaking? What we have spoken may not be true but surprisingly, we are
not aware of it. Therefore, the phrase “The truth is yet to be” shall always be
applied in our daily living to prevent us from being far away from the truth.
The second tenet of the Rotary’s test is more on fairness. “Is it fair to all
concerned?” refers to the women and men on both sides of the counter and
contract. This question proves to be very useful in the world of business. To
deal effectively with the second question of the test, then, requires that we
walk in the shoes of those to whom we sell or service and see our mutual
encounter as they see it. Fairness can be also applied in our society. What we
are doing may not be fair to all parties. What we do may benefit one party
but will it be fair to the other party? This is a question that bothers us and
keeps us thinking and worrying. We often regret after we have made decision
that would we’ve done may hurt someone’s feeling. It is adviseable that we
ask ourselves whether it is fair to everyone before we act so that no one will
feel bad with the decision made.
As for the third question of the 4-Way Test, we will get to understand more
about goodwill and friendship. Mr.Taylor believes that we must keep a good
friendship with others even if they are our business competitors. It is true
that without competition one can never improve with competition, we get
to learn our weak points at the same time, we learn the good points from
our competitors. We might lose in the competition, but as the saying goes
“losing once doesn’t mean losing twice.” We can later study the reasons of
our loss and try to improve in days to come. Friendship is important. Good
deals and discounts may generate their share of traffic, but if they do not
generate their share of friends, their days are numbered. If goodwill is not a
portion of the payment, then the products need a long and second look.
The last tenet of the test concerns benefits to all. Have you heard of the
symbiosis theory that we’ve learnt in biology? In biology, there are a great
number of good relationships where organisms depend on and benefit from
each other. Certain ants, for example, make specific points as their home
and at the same time, they defend the leaves from being consumed by other
insects. In such a situation, both plants and ants benefit; this is a symbiosis.
Our daily lives are filled with opportunities to simultaneously serve and
benefit from others. Make it a habit to ask ourselves the question “will it be
beneficial to all concerned?” In any decision we face in future.
All these simple theories lead us to the 4-Way Test, which is really a code of
ethics that can be applied to all business transactions or even in our daily
lives. What it says is “I will not do unto others what I would not want them to
do unto me.” It is one of the best summaries in existance of a business code
of ethics. Finally, from the 4-Way Test, you can become a better parent, a
better friend and a better individual.

The Organic Tree
The ‘Organic Tree’ Project was assigned to 6AE to aid us in mastering the
Organic Chemistry chapter. Our initial task started during our year-end break
last year. Each of the six Chemistry Groups (Aldehyde, Einsteinium, Plutonium,
Titanium, Tritium and Uranium-235) had to complete a mission: illustrate
the reaction schemes for 20 main organic compounds (e.g. Alkanes,
Alkenes… etc). Earlier this year, each group got together and tried to link
all the 20 compounds and their products to form their respective ‘trees’. When
our two-dimensional tree diagrams were done and corrected, we set to work,
‘planting’ our trees which took about 3 months. Eventhough it may sound or
look easy, it was quite a daunting task. We had to visualise our drawn
diagrams as 3-dimensional structures, planned the materials to use, and all
the time ensuring the trees we were building are strong and sturdy. It was
during this phase that we unleashed our creativity. Basically, the leaves of
the tree are the organic compounds, the branches are the reaction conditions
while the buds are the 20 main compounds. However, there are trees with
butterflies or fruits to show the uses of certain compounds.
Overall, we had an enjoyable time constructing the trees that are standing
majestically at the back of our classroom. Through this project, we have
actually discovered that Organic Chemistry is not such a boring topic after
all-it reflects the beauty of science!

National Science Center Trip (29.05.2004)
On the 29th May 2004, a trip to the National Science Center (NSC) in Bukit
Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, was organised by the committee: nsc.com.acs. A total
of 40 Upper Six Students and 2 teachers participated.
The ultimate objective of this trip was to witness the Nobel Prize Centennial
Exhibition, which bears the theme “Cultures of Creativity”, and hopefully, at
least one of us will be inspired to become a Nobel Laureate in future.
The Noble Prize is divided into 6 categories: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology of
Medicine, Literature, Peace and Economics. Up till now, there are 758 Nobel
Laureates since this award was founded in 1904 by Alfred Nobel. Apart from
reading about Nobel Laureates, we got to see the personal belongings of
several Laureates, such as Kim Dae-Jung’s (Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2000)

letters to his wife. We too got to see the

discovery: a rapid moving structure of
a molecule of which the photographic
image is blur, but can be seen clearly
certain Laureates captured on film in
the Object Theater and the table setting
for the Nobel Banquet (which is so
classy!). The most amazing and
captivating display was the Noble
Laureates Parade where the Laureates’
photos slide out one by one (this display
was inspired by the Doors’ Storage in Monsters’ Inc. Imagine that!).
The rest of the NSC was just as interesting. Its 11 galleries are filled with all
sorts of information: Aerospace of the Future, Medical Advances, and Pathways
of Discovery, to name a few. We got to try our hands on most of the exhibits
there and some of us were lucky enough to go home with our very own fossils!
All in all it was a fruitful experience, especially since most of us have never set
foot into the NSC before this trip. The trip has given good insights to the
highest recognition mankind can give to his fellow scientists (and humanrights activists, economist… you get the idea).

An ‘AFS’ Experience
Student Exchange Programme
Viknesh K (5B) • AFS Japan 2003
“Huh? I got it?”
It was a cold Saturday morning, and just as I was
ready to prolong my morning sleep, my mom
came thundering through my room, waving a
thick envelope in front of my sleepy eyes.
Nevertheless, that was enough to stir me out of
dreamland, as my jaws dropped to the ground
when I spotted the word “ACCEPTED”, printed
in Font 20, bold, Times New Roman letters. Five
words immediately sprang out of my mouth…
“Hey, I’m going to Japan!”
The next one month proved to be extremely
excruciating, as I had to memorize 3 thick books
on the usage of the Japanese language and their
customs, which believe me, was worse than
memorizing the entire Fm 4 History Text Book!
The time finally came, and along with 7 other
“happening” Malaysians, I embarked on the
journey of a lifetime. After all, how often are you
offered a fully paid trip to Japan, right?
The wintery climate welcomed our arrival in
Japan, providing and environment quite new to
most of us. As cold as it was, the Japanese girls
still persisted on wearing mini skirts, proving that
Asians really are tough. (Go Asia!) After a week
of orientation in Tokyo, we dispersed to our own
host communities signifying a new chapter in our
My classmates!!
life with our host families in Japan. My family
was indeed a gift from GOD! They were the dream
family that most people would kill to have; funny,
caring, attentive, fun and they understood English!
Their dog, Raian was treated like God, as he even
had his own room and a seat in the family car! I
attended an international school for 2 weeks,
which proved to be the best time I had.
The students were extremely friendly and they
never made me feel like a foreigner. They even
taught me the art of sleeping in class. Rules were
meant to be broken, as bringing handphones and
comic books were part of their norms.
Nevertheless, I had a fantastic time. Sadly, the time
for me to part with my family and friends as I had
to return to Tokyo to attend an ASEAN Jr. Summi,
held in the New Youth Centre, a gathering of
exchange students from all over the globe.
I had the pleasure of meeting students from
America, Panama, Thailand, Philippines,
Mongolia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos and many
other citizens of the world. Among the itineraries
of the summit was a cultural performance by each
country. Thus, on behalf of Malaysia, we
choreographed a colaboration of the Joget, Scaf
dance and Bangra, accompanied by Japanese
Techno music. Boy, did we have fun.
Next came the Christmas
Party, which turned out
ot be the Bomb! We had
loads of fun, and were
dead tired by the stroke
of midnight. The next
few days were more
emotional, as we said our
last byes to everyone we
met. In no time, I found
myself back on a plane to
Malaysia, putting a
fullstop to this fairytale.
I’ll stop here with just a
few words that made a
whole lot of difference in
my life…

We All Laughed
Robin Hood And His Merry Men • The untold story
The sun was steadily rising, spreading its warmth all
over the horizon and signalling a new dawn. The
cloudless sky was a mellow pale blue splashed with
shades of crimson red and golden brown from the
blistering sun. The sweet scent of wet grass mingled
with blooming magnolias, rosebuds and flames of the
forest lifted into the air as the birds started to sing a
melodious tune and the crickets were doing their ‘thing’.
In the distance, far beyond the valley below, deep into
the woods, the trees were steaming as if the sun was
evaporating the large grey dew drops from the lush
green leaves.
In the valleyelow, there lay a large pond of cool and
refreshing fresh water, where the fish made it their
home and the birds, the deer and other beautiful
creatures made it their watering hole. The water
glittered in the glowing sun light as birds of an
enormous ray of colours took to the sky.
It was this pond that he had set his eyes upon, as if
waiting, waiting for something to happen and yet there
was nothing. Not a single sound or movement.
Everything was still, and as the minutes passed slowly,
his patience started to deplete and his heart started
to pound in his ears. Blood rushed through his veins
at a tremendous pace and his hands began to tremble;
he was getting anxious.
Suddenly without warning, the surface of the pond
broke into a billion small drops of glinting water that
glowed beautifully in the sun light. There it was, what
he had been so eager to see all this while. The light
melted into the soft texture of her skin as the water
slid of her while she washed herself. Her long and
straight lanky hair flowed down her sides as she turned
her back towards him. She was just reaching out for
her towel, when accidentally; he placed a wrong foot
on a fallen twig sending a loud sound of cracking
splinters echoing through the valley. She turned to
face him, “ROBIN HOOD,” she cried, her voice booming
with anger and if you must know, disgust. “If I ever
112
The Voyager 2004 • Volume 72
get my hands on you, you bloody pervert, you’re done
for!” It was Maid Marian.
With that Robin began to dash through the trees,
making his way quickly down the hillside through some
thorny bushes and almost hitting a large willow. As he
turned backwards to see the tree he had just missed,
he crashed into something big, solid and hard, and
immediately fell face down to the ground. Rubbing
his swollen face he stood up and turned around, he
stared hard, and staring back at him was a large smile.
“By golly Robin, what are ye’ doin’ down there. The
merry men are all searching fer ye’,” cried the loud
voice of Little John. Little John, as you might already
know was not so little after all. Towering at a
staggering eight feet, he was the closest you will ever
get to see a real life giant. He was a huge man with a
rather rounded face, covered with a huge and prickly
beard, with big black eyes and wearing torn bed sheets
as clothes. By his side, in one hand, he held a massive
stick which he used for battle, a stick much larger than
Robin himself.
Back at base camp, the merry men, flanked by their
wives were all setting up colourful banners, flags and
tents. They were all getting ready for a feast, not like
they did not feast everyday, but today was special;
they were to celebrate the most celebrated and noble
celebration of all, Christmas.
“Well, gather around now men,” John spoke, “As we
are all accustomed to, Robin will now present his speech
on this ‘auspikus’ occasion, so… Robin,” John said as
he stretched out his arm over to Robin.
“Auspicious, John, its auspicious.”
“Ahh, whatever!”
“Well ladies and gentlemen, a very good day to all of
you,” Robin said as he walked up to the wooden
platform and beamed at the assembly before him.
Everyone started to mutter and murmur, “Well here
comes the same ol’ famous speech of his again,” they
sighed with heavy breaths. “So,” Robin continued,
this is all I have to say, listen carefully now,” he cleared
his throat.
“Robin Hood, we meet at last!”
“Oh come on sheriff and fight, I’m quite certain you
didn’t come here to preach now didyou?” Robin replied
as he drew his sword forward.
As he was about to speak, a loud voice echoed through
the thick air. “Robin! Robin!” cried Aaron, a thin and
tall young man riding on a horse, with a hand made
bow slung low across his back. “Robin, got some news
here!”
The sheriff swung his blade onto Robin marking the
start of one of the longest and most elegant fights
throughout the entire history of Sherwood. Three days
and three nights they battled, bathing in sweat and
toil, watching the starry night break into the face of
dawn, again and again and again.
“What is it?”
“It’s the sheriff; he’s riding through the very heart of
Sherwood right now.”
“Alone?”
“Course not! Got about thirty men with him at least.”
“Well John, sound the horn, make sure everyone knows,”
Robin said. “Meanwhile, men,” he addressed the group.
“To arms!”
“Loot from the rich, give to the poor then eh’ Hood?”
a pudgy man with a bald and shining head, with a tuft
of beard and moustache, holding a large flagon of ale
in one hand, and in the other, a fat juicy ham, said.
This man was none other than Friar Tuck.
“Well, what do you suggest then, Friar?”
Soon every one of the merry men were manning their
posts in the thick leafy boughs above. The faint sound
of clapping hooves carried through the warm air as
the men eagerly waited for the cry of battle.
“What do ye’ think the sheriff is up to, eh Robin?”
cried Friar.
“Dunno Friar, probably bringing something important,
treasure perhaps.”
No one had realised yet, but the sound of the
approaching hooves had now died away into a
frightening pin drop silence. The hearts of the men
started to pound vigorously as they waited, waited
and waited.”
Then John spoke, “Summat’s wrong Robin, we’ve been
waiting too long, we’ve probably missed ‘em.”
“Damn those stealthy morons!” boomed Robin.
After waiting a while more, they began to descent from
their posts, but as soon as their feet touched the
ground, the unexpected happened. “ATTACK!” It was
the Sheriff of Nottingham, and together with two dozen
men, they rushed out from behind the trees and bushes,
taking the merry men by surprise. The clash of swords
rang through the air.
On the third dawn, the sun rose early and suspiciously
bright in the Far East, illuminating its entire path. It
was on this day that they began to feel their swords
slip from their grasps as their palms were sweaty, knees
weak, arms heavy, finger tips numb and garments
soaked in sweat. It was now just too much to bear.
The sheriff was tiring fast, and so he swung his last
swing of his blade, prompting Robin to sway back. At
this opportunity, the sheriff mounted his horse which
was conveniently behind him, and fled through the
thickets in the forest, pursued closely by Robin.
As the sheriff was passing by the pond in the valley,
he caught a glimpse of fair Maid Marian bathing herself
in the sparkling water. He froze as he saw her boast of
such beauty. The sheriff was so taken in by the sight
that he did not realise Robin closing in onto him, and
when he did, it was already too late. The sheriff had
barely found his sword when Robin rushed towards him
with his sword held forward like a lance.
As I come to the ending of my story about my great,
great grandfather I search around the room. It was
extremely dark with the only glint of light coming
through the break in the curtains by my bedside. The
soft scratches of my pet tortoise stole the silence. I
saw my friends staring blankly at me.
“So that’s how the sheriff was apprehended ‘eh?” cried
Daniel, a pimply face boy of fifteen wearing oval shaped
glasses which he kept pushing up.
“Yep,”
“So you’re telling me that you’re the great, great grand
son of Robin Hood?” Andrew asked, his face gleaming
stupidly at me.
“Robin Hood? Who’s talking about Robin Hood? I’m
the blood of Friar Tuck,” and with that, WE ALL
LAUGHED.

That’s Not Fair
I
stared blankly at the ajar window with my eyes
half-shut. As I was busy peering thoroughly outside
searching for something, suddenly my eyes seemed
to focus on an old papaya tree standing still like an
army on duty. At that very moment, I started grinning
and recorded what my granddad had told me recently.
“Give me that packet of glutinous rice. Its mine. No,
it’s not yours,” said Chung Jong angrily. This pungent
remark hailed all the way back to China.
A long time ago, in the province of China, there was
an isolated village name Canjong some hundred miles
away from Canton. Mangrove trees and thick lush forest
mainly surrounded the village and there lived three
brothers and their feeble father who was already seventy
years old. Chung Jong the eldest, aged 18, had an
egg-shaped face which appeared to be very eccentric
and atrocious. He also had lanky legs and square
shoulder. Meanwhile, Chung Lee, 17 had a frightening
look because he had cruel eyes and a pointed chin.
Both of them were almost similar in height. They were
about five feet six, which was considered tall for a
Chinese. On the contrary, Chung Hwa, the youngest,
15, had a good-looking face with full thin lips and
dreamy eyes. Although his height was not much
different to a dwarf, the beauty of his heart was enough
to conceal his flaw. But, one thing bad about his
character was being stubborn like the creature Gollum
(Smeagol) in the movie ‘The Lord of The Rings’
Living in an old cottage didn’t make their life easy.
Since the demise of their mother and now their beloved
father was getting weaker, three of them needed to do
the house chores and also find money to support
themselves. Day by day, they were poverty-stricken.
None of them had the guts to roam into the forest to
hunt for food. Each of them only knew how to put the
blame on one another. Later, their father died too.
Before dying, their father whispered softly to them, “I
want three of you to saunter deep in the forest
separately. Either one of you will be able to find a
furtive cave which was not seen clearly. You will find
something precious inside. Try your utter best, sons.”
Then, their father took the last breath before leaving
them forever. Chung Hwa, the youngest among the
114
The Voyager 2004 • Volume 72
three, was feeling very sad and remorseful for being so
stubborn all this while. He promised himself to turn
over a new leaf from that day onwards. He wanted to
fulfill his father’s wish.
Knowing that his brothers, Chung Lee and Chung Jong
were greedy and obstinate, he didn’t bother about them.
The next morning, the sun shone more ferociously than
usual engulfing the entire forest. Before they all set
off to venture into the forest, the three of them hugged
each other and promised to return two months later.
Now, they were all on their own to face all obstacles
and hazardous circumstances. Chung Jong was heading
towards the east, Chung Lee, was heading towards the
west while Chung Hwa, the youngest was heading
towards the north. The only weapon they had was
samurai sword. They also brought along some food
and beverages with them so that they would not suffer
from starvation and thirst.
For three days and three nights, the three of them
were stuck in the forest. On th fourth day, Chung Jong
was unlucky. As he was maneuvering gently a muddy
pool, he did not realize that a perilous alligator was
observing each of his movement. He was not aware
that each time when he plodded, the wild alligator
was coming closer and closer “Argh…” he screamed in
fear. The wild reptile’s sharp and long tusks sank into
his right leg. Fortunately, he managed to swing his
samurai sword and injured the alligator. It gave out a
cry before releasing his right leg. He felt that his leg
was too rigid to move. Blood was gushing profusely
from his right leg. Slowly, he limped with his left leg
reaching the bank of the river and thudded on the
muddy area. He tore his clothes and bandaged his
right leg. He was lucky enough to survive. After that
unexpected incident, he was too afraid to proceed on
his journey. His heart sank. He gave up and decided
to limp back depressingly because he was afraid that
he was afraid that he might meet more wild animals
on his way.
Meanwhile, Chung Lee also faced the same problem
like his brother. This time uncivilized people attacked
him. On the fifth night of his journey, he thought at
first that finally he had a place to put up when he
stumbled upon a long wooden house. That very
moment, he was fatigued and ran towards the house
with all of his might. Once he reached right in front of
the door, he heaved a sigh. He knocked on the door a
few times and was totally surprised to find that no
one actually bothered to open the door although he
heard people dancing and cheering merrily inside. Prior
to that, he was about to make a move but before he
could do so, the uncivilized people surrounded him.
He couldn’t make head or tail of what they were actually
mumbling about. Then, slowly they approached him
holding a torch in their hands. He pondered and prayed
to the sublime how he could flee from them. Suddenly,
thunder rumbled ominously and he was totally puzzled
when he realized that they were roaming all over the
place. Briskly, he seized the opportunity to un back to
his cottage and was lugubrious and despaired because
he was unable to find the cave.
Now, Chung Hwa was the only hope and also the sole
survivor. So far, he managed to dodge all his obstacles.
He had been living in the forest for fifteen days but he
still couldn’t find the cave. Until one breezy morning,
as he wa roaming in the forest he was so oblivious to
a rock laying motionless beneath his right foot. So,
he accidentally kicked the rock and fell over like a
carpet surprisingly, he saw a cave hidden by the long
thorny grass. He quickly got up and slinked into the
cave. As he stepped into the cave, he heard water
dripping from every position that seemed to tense him.
Fortunately, he remembered that he had brought his
torchlight along. Without a second thought, his coarse
hand searched in his haversack depending on his nimble
fingers to search for the torchlight. After higgledypiggledy searching for the torchlight he managed to
find it. Immediately, he nudged the button and a strong
light emitted from the torchlight that brightened the
area. He could see lots of stalagmites and stalactites
hanging freely like buffalo’s horns. He seemed to be
too agitated and he tended to swallow his saliva many
times and each time he was about to move one pace,
his eyes would dart left and right to ensure that
everything was fine. From a vague angle, he saw a
diamond glowing in the dark. “Wow!” That’s great he
pondered.
He asked himself several times. “Am I dreaming or is
just….” he was bewildered. He told himself to be
brave. Before he managed to reached the diamond,
from no where a dragon appeared before him. Standing
on twenty feet tall, approximately five thousand pound,
it really frightened him and he was prepared to take to
his heels. His heart was pounding very fast and he
could feel his pulse had stopped. His legs were also
trembling terribly and even worse he urinated in his
slacks. Suddenly, the dragon pounced at him and he
managed to stab the dragon’s ribs in the nick of time.
His eyes were bulging out in disbelief after defeating
the furious dragon. He was startled. Immediately, he
grabbed the diamond and ran back to the cottage.
His scheming brothers welcomed him calmly. They
patted his shoulders and spoke soothing words to
persuade him to give them the diamond. “That’s not
fair. I struggled in the forest for fifteen days and I
defeated the dragon. Therefore, there is no doubt that
the diamond belongs to me,” Chung Hwa snarled.
“Shut up, you imbecile. Just give the diamond to me
and I will sell it. We will become rich you know,” said
Chung Jong. Chung Lee also agreed with Chung Jong’s
suggestion. “We can buy a big house, luxurious cars
and also sumptuous food,” he thought.
“No way. I can’t give it to you,” shouted Chung Hwa.
Chung Jong temper frayed and punched on Chung Hwa’s
face and he fell on the ground. Chung Jong and Chung
Lee snatched the diamond and ran away. Chung Hwa
continued sobbing. He swore that his brothers for
sure would be punished one day. In Canton, Chung
Jong and Chung Lee sold the diamond to a rich
merchant. As a reward, they received a big sum of
money and they stayed in a mansion. They wore
clothes, which were made of natural silk. They spent
their money abundantly day by day.
On the other hand, Chung Hwa lived happily. He
preferred an eternal life and embarked all over again
without a tinge of complaint. Every morning, he would
roamed-in the forest to hunt for animals. If his luck
was good, he might catch a wild boar or a tiger with
his dagger. In the afternoon, he would tidy up his
cottage while at night he lamented alone over his fate.
After getting fed-up with his daily life, he decided to
go to the town to find for his brothers. Perhaps he
could share the life that his brothers were enjoying
now. What a turn of events. He was chased away by
his ungrateful brother with no mercy. He was also
beaten mercilessly by his brother’s guards and was
forced to crawl all the way down descending the hillslope. He was very sad. He went back to his cottage,
full of anger. He shouted at the top of his voice, “that’s
not fair.”

berhampiran Naples, Itali, angin yang kuat
menyebabkan kereta itu tercampak ke dalam
sungai. Untuk mengelakkan daripada mati lemas,
Luise memecahkan tingkap keretanya dan
berenang ke tebing sungai. Dia terselamat, tapi
tiupan angin yang terlalu kuat mengakibatkan
sebatang pokok yang tumbuh di tebing sungai
berkenaan tumbang lalu menghempap tubuhnya.
Luise mati di tempat kejadian.

kebetulan berada di sana, lelaki tersebut berbaring
semula di depan kereta berkenaan dan berpurapura sakit… kononnya cedera teruk akibat
kemalangan itu. Tujuannya supaya dia akan
mendapat pampasan insurans. Malangnya, lelaki
tersebut mengalami cedera parah dan
kemudiannya meninggal dunia apabila secara tibatiba kereta berkenaan bergerak ke hadapan dan
melanggar tubuhnya…

A Life Worth Saving
I can still remember that day, the day that changed
my life, the day I started taking karate lessons. I still
remember 25 students, from all races, Malays, Chinese,
and Indians. We then were still young, about 9 years
old. By the looks on our faces, our parents could
definitely see that we were very scared. Soon, our
master came in and introduced himself. He is Master
K. Ananthan. He briefed us about karate and its
beginnings. He must have noticed that we were very
scared. He told us that we should not worry because
karate is just a form on self-defence. He also stressed
that we should never ever use karate to fight except in
self-defence.
Then, he started the lesson. It was very simple and I
could pick it up easily. Some of the students could not
follow very well. My master who was patient encouraged
them to try again until they got it right. It was during
the break when I first met Hasnal and Jen Zeng. We
had placed our bottles in the same place and we
bumped our heads together trying to get out bottles.
From that incident, we became best friends.
We attended karate lessons twice a week at our master’s
dojo. During the lessons, my master stressed that we
should work together and be ready to help each other.
I still remember other things about my karate lessons.
For instance, my first grading. We were terrified but
my master reassured us. He told us that it is normal to
be frightened but we must face our fears and challenge
it.
My master emphasizes on racial harmony. If we had to
train in groups, he would make sure that each group
consists of at least 3 different races. It was his advice
that made Hasnal, Jen Zeng and I good friends. “Hey,
Jo! Are you dreaming?” asked Hasnal. “Huh?” I
118
The Voyager 2004 • Volume 72
• Jothiswaran Namasoo
awoke from my thoughts. “Oh, sorry, I just was thinking
about karate,” I replied. “Go on, you’re next to spar,”
he told me.
I finished my round perfectly. I came back to my
thoughts. Then, I remembered that it was long time
ago, about three years. Now, Hasnal, Jen Zeng and I
hold black belts. We attend classes every day. We are
the top students. “Jo, Hasnal, Jen Zeng, I can see
that you have trained well. The qualifying rounds will
be held next week. I want to see you all in top form,”
said our master. “Yes, master.” we answered. We left
the dojo. As I was walking back, I thought about the
qualifying rounds. I must finish in the top five to
participate in the Malaysian Karate Tournament.
The following week arrived quickly. I was in top form
that day. I entered the dojo for the qualifying rounds.
Participants from various states came to Perak to qualify
for the Malaysian Karate Tournament. Hasnal and Jen
Zeng managed to qualify easily. Whereas I had to spar
with a competitor twice my size and height. Undaunted,
I fought bravely and qualified for the tournament.
That night, my master, my friends and I went to
celebrate our achievements. Our master had parked
his car in an alley. When we were returning to the car,
we were ambushed by robbers. They had guns. They
asked us for our money. We gave the money. I got
very angry and took a few paces in front with my fists
clenched. The robber pulled the trigger. My master
rushed in front of me and took the bullet.
The robbers ran away. We rushed our master to the
hospital. He was operated on. I felt a certain
feeling,rage, guilt, and sadness. My master survived
and he said that I must make sure that my life was
worth saving. My master followed us to Sarawak, where
the tournament was being held. We were ready to take
on any challenge. At the start of the tournament, we
defeated our opponents easily. We qualified to the
knockout stages after a few days. Hasnal, Jen Zeng
and I were ready to win. Unfortunately, Jen Zeng and
Hasnal went down to the competitors from Pahang and
Perlis. Whereas I was very lucky and managed to enter
the semi finals where I was to fight with a competitor
from Selangor.
My opponent cheated in the match which gave me more
reason to defeat him for I despise people who cheat.
I managed to defeat him. I entered the finals and was
to fight the competitor from Perlis.
The next day, I was ready to fight the battle of my life.
I entered the arena praying to God so that He will give
me strength to fight this battle. The match started
and I give a kick to my opponent. From his evasion, I
could see that this would be a very tough fight. He
moved like a cheetah, agile but powerful. He punched
me in the stomach and earned one point. I countered
with a slapping kick straight at his chin. I earned two
points.
He must have realized it was going to be a tough match
so he fought determinedly. I was stupefied. He kicked
me to the ground but I managed to escape. I had no
energy to go on but I remembered my master who risked
his life to save time. I was determined to make my life
worth saving. I kicked him but he caught hold of my
leg and pushed it away. I turned and gave a flying
kick at his face. He knocked out. At first, I was stunned
by my move but the truth seeped into me. I won the
tournament.
I was congratulated by everyone. I received a trophy
from our Prime Minister. I knew that my life was worth
saving. I thanked my master for his guidance. He told
me five words that I will remember forever, “Your life
was worth saving!”
Merdeka!
Merdeka!
Merdeka!
Seringkali
Kita mendengar generasi muda era siber ini
Melaung-laungkan bait-bait tersebut
MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!
Namun
Sejauh manakah
Mereka menghayati erti kemerdekaan itu?
Tanpa merasai pahit maung
Datuk nenek kita hidup di zaman permerintahan penjajah
Ibu Bapa kita yang dilahirkan dalam keadaan kedaifan
Hidup dalam kepompong ketakutan yang tiada kesudahan
Kita seringkali alpa
Dengan kenikmatan yang sedia ada
Kita juga semakin kehilangan semangat juang bangsa kita
Secarik… senipis kelopak bunga kebangsaan Negara!
Cuba tanyakan pada anak-anak kita
Siapa Mat Kilau? Siapa pula Tun Perak?
Kenalkah mereka?
Mana silapnya?
Seandainya kita sendiri
Gagal menghayati erti kemerdekaan
Apatah lagi anak-anak kita
Adakah…
Kata-kata keramat Hang Tuah
“Takkan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia”
Hanya tinggal kata-kata
Ataupun sekadar kiasan semata-mata
Mungkin
Kita tidak merasai
Kesengsaraan hidup di zaman permerintahan penjajah
Namun… kita masih boleh mendidik diri
Bahkan generasi akan datang
Untuk menghargai kemerdekaan
MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

Sejak merdeka, Malaysia telah mencapai kejayaan demi kejayaan dalam pelbagai
bidang. Kejayaan ini hasil gabungan usaha gigih rakyat dengan pemimpin negara
sehingga mendapat pengiktirafan dunia.
KEJAYAAN MALAYSIA DI PERINGKAT ANTARABANGSA
oleh: Gaurishankar
Laungan merdeka bergema di Stadium Merdeka
menandakan bebasnya negara kita daripada
kongkongan dan belenggu penjajah. Semangat Bapa
Kemerdekaan kita ‘Tunku Abdul Rahman Al-Haj’
disambut oleh segenap lapisan rakyat anak-anak watan
untuk membawa Malaysia tercinta untuk ke mercu
kejayaan. Keperitaan semasa era imperialisme
membentuk jati diri rakyat untuk membaiki kekhilafan
masa lampau. Kini hasil gabungan usaha gigih rakyat
dengan pemimpin negara yang berkaliber telah
membuahkan kejayaan gilang-gemilang kepada negara
kita sehingga mendapat pengiktirafan dunia. Suatu
ketika dahulu, nama Malaysia tidak dikenali namun kali,
negara kita gah di mata dunia. Kejayaan demi kejayaan
menjadi bukti keunggulan dan permuafakatan di
kalangan rakyat jelata.
Nama-nama seperti Dato’ Azhar Mansor dan anak-anak
Haji Sidek telah mengharumkan nama Malaysia di
peringkat antarabangsa. Dato’ Azhar Mansor merupakan
contoh yang terbaik. Kecekalan dan keberaniannya
terserlan apabila sanggup menghadapi segala kesulitan
meredah gelora untuk mengibarkan Jalur Gemilang
yang tercinta. Beliau belayar secara solo mengelilingi
dunia dan kejayaannya mendapat pengiktirafan dunia.
Semangat Dato’ Azhar Mansor telah diteruskan lagi
dengan kejayaan penerjun-penerjun kita di kutub utara
dan pendaki-pendaki Gunung Everest seperti Mr.
Manogaran. Jika suatu ketika dahulu perkara-perkara
seperti ini kelihatan mustahil, namun rakyat Malaysia
telah membuktikan bahawa tiada perkara yang mustahil
di dunia ini. Semangat berkobar-kobar dan jati diri yang
tinggi telah membuahkan hasil yang amat bernilai dan
terpahat dalam sejarah negara.
Ibni Khaldun, seorang ahli falsafah dan ilmuan Islam
menyatakan bahawa negara yang maju ialah sebuah
negara yang akrab perhubungan antara rakyat dan
pemimpinnya. Kata-kata inilah yang dipegang oleh
rakyat Malaysia dalam mengharungi setiap cabaran dan
dugaan yang menimpa. Dari segi ekonomi Malaysia
telah diakui sebagai salah sebuah negara Asia yang
paling kukuh kedudukan ekonomi dan kewangannya.
Kemelesatan ekonomi suatu ketika dahulu tidak sedikit
pun meruntuhkan ekonomi negara. Hal ini semua
adalah hasil permuafakatan dan kerjasama antara
pemimpin dan rakyat dalam usaha untuk memantapkan
120
The Voyager 2004 • Volume 72
ekonomi negara seterusnya membentuk sebuah negara
yang mapan.
Dari segi politik negara kita dikatakan mempunyai
sistem politik yang utuh dan kukuh. Jika negara-negara
sekitar menghadapi masalah-masalah politik yang
meruncing dan sering bertukar-tukar pemimpin, negara
kita masih kukuh dan setia kepada pemimpin.
Kepimpinan yang ditunjukkan Perdana Menteri kita,
Datuk Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi diakui di
peringkat antarabangsa sebagai seorang pemimpin
negara Islam yang berdaya saing dan maju. Jika kita
menyingkap kembali sejarah negara kita, kita akan
terkenang kekuatan empayar Melakar yang terkenal dari
segi perdadangan dan pusat penyebaran agama Islam.
Empayar ini ranap kerana kekhilafan. Namun saki baki
perjuangan masih tersemat dijiwa segenap lapisan
masyarakat.
Dari segi perdagangan, Malaysia telah mencapai tahap
yang sangat membanggakan.
Perdagangan
antarabangsa telah mendatangkan hasil yang lumayan
kepada negara kita. Kita seharusnya berbangga melihat
kereta nasional kita, megah menyusur di jalan raya.
Kejayaan ini telah menjadi contoh kepada negaranegara membangun yang lain. Dalam menghadapi arus
permodenan dan rencaman globalisasi, industri
teknologi maklumat telah dibangunkan di negara kita.
Pendidikan Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi (ICT)
telah diimplimentasikan oleh pihak kerajaan dan telah
terbukti dengan terhasilnya sekolah Bestari.
Perkembangan ini merupakan satu kejayaan besar buat
Malaysia dalam membentuk masyarakat yang celik
komputer dan intelektual.
Selain itu, kejayaan Malaysia dalam arena sukan
antarabangsa juga amat membanggakan kita.
Memorabilia ketika menjadi johan keseluruhan Sukan
SEA di Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini masih tersemat di jiwa
kita. Sukan-sukan lain seperti badminton dan hoki juga
banyak menyumbang dalam kejayaan negara di pentas
antarabangsa. Kejayaan Piala Thomas dan saingan hebat
di sukan Olimpik pasti membuka mata dunia akan
kehebatan negara kita dalam arena sukan. Semangat
kesukanan yang tinggi dan kesungguhan yang
ditunjukkan oleh para atlit wajar menjadi contoh kepada
kita betapa pentingnya menaikkan nama negara di
6
peringkat antarabangsa. Kejayaan, gilang-gemilang
dalam penganjuran Sukan Komanwel dan Sukan SEA
baru-baru ini pasti memberikan kenangan yang manis
kepada kita.
Seloka 5R
Dari segi perhubungan sosial, keakraban dan
permuafakatan di kalangan masyarakat majmuk telah
melahirkan satu identiti negara yang dikagumi oleh
negara-negara lain. Permuafakatan ini telah menjadi
perencah kepada kemakmuran dan keamanan negara
kita. Melihat melalui perspektif ini, kita dapat
menyimpulkan bahawa masyarakat yang bersatu padu
akan membina satu bangsa yang berdaulat dan maju.
Sesungguhnya peristiwa 13 Mei 1969 sudah cukup
sebagai pengajaran di dalam masyarakat.
Dengar Yeop TS nak berseloka,
Digali-gali daripada penglipur lara,
Merapu,merepek,mengumpat pun ada,
Memori 2004 di kelas 5R.
Ahli falsafah Islam, Iman Al-Ghazali ada menyatakan
bahawa masyarakat Islam tidak akan terpesong selagi
perhubungan sesama rakyat dan pemimpinnya akrab
dan memahami antara satu sama lain. Kerjasama dan
usaha gigih antara pemimpin negara dengan rakyat
inilah sebenarnya merupakan kejayaan paling besar
bagi negara kita Malaysia. Jika dikaji dengan lebih
mendalam hakikat inilah yang sangat dicemburi
negara-negara asing yang berusaha sedaya upaya
untuk meruntuhkan ukhwah tersebut. Kejayaan dalam
kerjasama dan permuafakatan tersebut merupakan
resipi utama dalam kejayaan-kejayaan lain yang telah
dicapai oleh Malaysia.
Secara analoginya, kita boleh menganggap rakyat
sebagai akar-akar tunjang yang kuat dan pemimpin
sebagai zat-zat galian, manakala negara pula sebagai
batang pokok yang besar. Kejayaan-kejayaan boleh
dianggap sebagai bunga-bunga yang kembang mekar
dan buah-buahan yang masak ranum. Rosaknya akar,
tumbanglah pokok dan tanpa zat, bunga dan buah
akan layu. Semuanya berkait rapat dan memerlukan
satu sama lain. Demikianlah diibaratkan perhubungan
antara pemimpin dengan rakyat dalam sesebuah
negara untuk mencapai kejayaan yang gemilang.
Sebagai intiha, kita dapat menyimpulkan bahawa
Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang membangun
dan makmur hasil titik peluh semua pihak. Pemimpin
yang berkaliber dan masyarakat yang tidak delinkuen
telah meletakkan Malaysia setanding dengan negaranegara maju yang lain. Kejayaan demi kejayaan yang
dicapai menjadi bukti yang terbaik dalam usaha kita
merealisasikan visi 2020. Akhir kata, ‘kejayaan negara,
kebanggaan kita.’

Erti Sebuah
Perpisahan
Teman,
Perpisahan umpama mentari
menjelang senja
Membunuh gelak ketawa riang ria
Wajah-wajah akan hilang dari
pandangan mata
Teman…
Perpisahan umpama gitar yang tak bertali
Lagu tiada berlirik tidak berguna lagi
Yang tinggal…
hanyalah kesan irama abadi
Menikam sukma
Menerbitkan kenangan-kenangan lalu
Yang tinggal hanya kenangan bersama
Teman,
Setiap pertemuan
Pasti akan berakhir dengan perpisahan
Setiap keriangan pasti ada kedukaan
Disini…
Aku sentiasa mendoakan
Semoga kau berjaya
Serta bahagia
Buat selama-lamanya
Teman,
Persahabatan kita tetap akan utuh
Biarlah berjauhan
Tapi… beringatlah
Jangan sesekali kita kesali perpisahan
Malah sebaliknya…
Tiada perpisahan tanpa pertemuan
Andainya kita ditakdirkan bertemu
Dimana,
Ia merupakan pertemuan yang tak pasti
Adakah kau masih seperti dulu?

If I were a world leader, these are the steps I would take to
achieve world peace.
“People say that walking on water is a miracle, but to me,
walking peacefully on Earth is a miracle.”
- Thich Nhat Hanh
What is Peace? To most, it means freedom from war
and violence, working and living together without
hatred, the absence of conflict, and the presence of
love. The hope for complete world peace is quite
impossible to achieve but perhaps if I were the world
leader… things might be different. “Give peace a
chance,” they say. Well, I might just be able to do
that.
“Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is
primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on
institutions such as courts of justice and police.”
- Albert Einstein
The utmost, most important thing is to have a good
leader. One that can be trusted wholeheartedly by
all, and have faith in. He has to know what he is
doing, gains respect by all and in return, respects
everyone else from all walks of life. The thing about
having a good leader is that effective running of a
country (or the world) can be carried out as followers
are more willing to obey because of the respect they
have for him. He could set an impressive example
for the followers and therefore by gaining their trust,
the people will have confidence in following his
footsteps in achieving a goal, world peace for
example. If I were to be a leader, I have to listen to
what everyone has to say and respect the opinions
of others. I also have to realise what problems are
past and present and devise ways to resolve them.
As a leader, I have to be courageous enough to bear
responsibility for all decisions that I have made, plans
that have been carried out, and outcomes that will
arise. Mainly earning the trust of my people is very
important.
“Peace cannpt be kept by force. It can only be achieved by
understanding.” - Albert Einstein
Secondly, people should be encouraged to voice out
misunderstandings and problems. What is the point
of having freedom of speech when so many issues
cannot be brought out in the open? Pent up problems
just make things worse and that leads to
disagreements and ultimately war. As a matter of
fact, most wars that occurred are mainly caused by
differences in opinions and priorities. If these
differences can be settled in a civilised manner, war
does not have to be the answer. War only happens
because people refused to see and understand
beyond the realm of their own created reality. Putting
aside all sensitive issues regarding religion, ethnics,
gender and race. All misunderstandings can be
resolved and people can start to look at one another
as another fellow human being. War can only
eliminate human kind.
“If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything,
it is that peace does not follow disarmament-disarmament
follows peace.” - Bernard Baruch
Besides that, I will unify all countries to be under the
rule of one government. By doing so, there is a fair
chance of striving for equality for all countries and
thus abolish discrimination, wipe out poverty and
labels such as “third world countries”. Envy and
Greed are two of the seven deadly sins. With each or
with both, animosity can be created among countries
and wars are launched. Countries that are poorer
feel envious and yearn to own what rich and
developed countries have. On the other hand,
countries that are rich, hunger for more wealth thus
robbing other countries of their resources. Warfare
is initiated thus and in the end, the result is not in
the material gains but the number of deaths during
the war. Is material wealth actually more precious
than life? Hence, by dividing assets equally among
countries, this issue can be extinguished. When peace
prevails, antagonism will be eradicated.
“There is more than one kind of freedom… Freedom to
and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom
to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don’t
underrate it.” - Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale;
Chapter 5, pg 24.
In a nutshell, world peace may be achieved if every

time peace, is destroyed by a minor evil i.e lust and
obsession for power. If I am able to stamp out these
iniquities, I will be able to say, “Peace, here is your
chance” and thus “peace be with you all out there”.

What the
Modern Woman Wants?
whitening formula. On the other side of the world,
women are yearning for darker skin colour because their
society says that women who are too fair are pale and
sickly. Why can’t the society accept woman for who they
are inside, for what they do, instead of the colour of their
skin? A woman is still a person regardless of what colour
she is, may it be white, black, yellow or blue.
The world changes through time; in fashion, in
architecture, in technology, the needs and wants of the
society. Has anyone ever stopped to think about how
these changes affect the ways of understanding and
viewing of the world? As I sit here with a steaming cup
of hot chocolate accompanied by the clackety-clack of
the keyboard, I speculate about the wants of a modern
day woman. The modern day woman who has finally
stepped out of the shadows of men and begins her
journey anew.
I may be an advocate feminist but that does not make
me a man-hater, which is a common misconception of
the society. A female who fights for the rights of her
kind does not necessarily despise men. I have to admit
it, MEN: you can’t live with them, you can’t live
WITHOUT them. What I, and most women, want is
equality, freedom and the deserving respect from the
opposite sex.
Womankind has been playing major roles since the
beginning of time, but why is it that they are still
considered as the weaker sex? Take the medieval era in
England for example; a chatelaine or a lady of an estate
does not play an easy task. Sure, men fight for their
lands and country, but running a household those days
is no more easier than planning battle strategies.
According to Medieval Women by Eileen Power, the lady
of the upper class is not only a wife and mother but also
a landowner, an accountant, a ransom collector (when
the lord has been taken as a prisoner of war) and an
executor of the lord’s will, perchance he is killed in battle.
If women in the early centuries are able to uphold all
these responsibilities, why are they not treated equal to
men up till now?
Equality for women is not only in the sense of gender
but also in physical appearances and skin colour. I say
skin colour, not in the racist text, but the society’s idea
of ideal beauty; that fairer skin is much more beautiful
than dark coloured skin. At least that is how it is in my
society. The proof of my statement: increasing number
of skincare products in the market which contains
124

Another issue that I want to demolish is the association
of women with sex. For instance, Playboy Playmates:
they are all women. Adult magazines, they always
feature women. In my opinion, this is very degrading
for womankind. The same goes with the number of
music videos these days, especially by hip-hop rappers,
which portray women as sex toys. The scantily clad girls
who prance around in these videos are indirectly
insulting me and all the other women out there. Are
women that cheap that they are willing to exploit their
bodies for anything? This leads to another question:
why is it that prostitution involves more female than
males? As I have said before, are women that immoral,
that down-trodden, that there are no other options of
occupation for them that they have to resort to this?
Perhaps it is the fault of the society, the sexiest nature in
employment that leads to this problem.
Even in the new millennium, certain vocations are still
gender-biased. Women are still not accepted to
undertake on “masculine jobs”. For example, civil
engineers, electrical engineers and dentists, just to name
a few. It is normal for a person to think that ‘Dr.
Whittaker’ is man instead of a woman. This conception
should be eradicated as more women are stepping into
the shoes of man, in a manner of speaking. On the other
hand, we have teachers, nurses and hair stylists who are
men. If it is not hard to accept a male fashion designer,
why is it so difficult to approve a female pilot? Besides
that, sexual discrimination in occupation should be
abolished. Unequal pay, failure to promote, wrongful
termination and unfair job assignments based on sex are
examples of sexual discrimination in the workplace.
Women have fought against oppression since the
beginning of time and it is time that we are granted with
freedom in the political, economical and social field.
Women should have the right to choose what they want
to do and be encouraged by the society. Back then,
women are dependent on their husbands but now,
women are courageous enough, and willing to step out
into the working world, plunging their hands right into
the mdu (so to speak). It is an act of independence, and
the urge to equally rule the roost of a household and not
only let the man be the lord of his castle.
We also want the independence and freedom of leading
our own lives, not depending on anyone for our survival
but only ourselves. The choice of working instead of
being stuck at home, and the choice of being
economically independent free us from the monetary
clutches of our husbands. The ability of a woman to run
a business, to be her own boss, and to be a part of the
bread winner role are just a few of the examples we
modern women are seeking for in this 21st century.
Unfortunately, the role of women in world politics is still
quite rare due to the lack of trust and confidence of the
global society.
Besides that, women should have the freedom to learn,
to gain knowledge. Young girls in many countries are
still being deprived of education because of the
traditional normality that girls are only good at the stove,
get married and make babies. In many countries, the
prevention of a child to acquire an education is illegal
but the number of illiterate females in the world is
undeniably high. It should be made aware that every
woman has the right to be educated at the highest level
they desire. No one has the right to stop another from
pursuing knowledge and gaining the information they
need in order to survive in this real and materialistic
world.
To remedy all these, a number of traditional rules should
be banned. It is not that we do not respect our own
traditions, but how can we accept practices that are
biased and illogically demeaning? Everyone should
have his/her equal right, equal say and the opportunity
in life to obtain the goals they had set for themselves
whether they are male or female. Human rights
violations whose practices and policies that silent and
subordinate women should be exposed and denounced.
We should reject any law, culture, or religion in which
women are systematically discriminated against,
excluded from political participation and public life and
segregated in their daily lives.
In the past years, women have been fighting against
oppression, degradation and discrimination. It is a
shame to let all their sweat and blood go to waste.
Actually womankind has gone a long way and has since
then been allowed to vote, run for political candidacy
and being a leader of a country. It is just a matter of
upholding those that have been won and go on fighting
the battles that have not been victorious. If that is
achieved, women can finally stand on the same equal
podium as men-and that is an achievement for man/
womankind.
Chua Li Ying (6AE)
Other than that, the modern woman also wants
RESPECT. As we are in the 21st century, women should
not still be treated as second-class citizens. Cases such
as domestic abuse, rape, exploitation of women in the
sex industry and in human labour must not occur. Sadly,
all these are happening right under our noses and this is
caused by the lack of respect from the society, namely
from men. If women are respected by men, rape and
sexual harassment can be exterminated. Sexual
harassment is an unwelcome conduct based on sex or of
a sexual nature that can make one feel uncomfortable,
helpless or fearful. It is a form of sex discrimination that
is unacceptable in many countries in the world.
Up till now, in some countries, women still do not have
any legal human rights. They cannot speak their minds,
they cannot make their own choices, but are controlled
by men, or their husbands, against their will. Women
who stand up for themselves are deemed
unconventional and definitely unacceptable. Women
who oppose the notion of traditional rules are frowned
upon. Where is the freedom of life choices and love that
have been fought for if arranged marriages and forced
marriages (of under aged girls) are still a common
practice in certain countries in this modern society.
Romance, is what many believe, the key to marriage.
Thus if forced marriage, without love is enforced, that
might lead to domestic abuse because it is assumed that
a woman’s upmost duty is to satisfy her husbands needs.
However, if there is no love, the woman unwillingly
submit and then her husband will afflict violence on her
for being defiant.

Title of Essay : Write A Story Ending, “How We Got Away, I’ll Never Know,”
Topic Number : Question 3/Class C
A F i g h t To The Finish
It was the era of World War II. The Americans were
at war with the Japanese. I was placed in the Fifth
Battalion under General Donagan’s command. He
was a great man and was greatly respected by one
and all. My squad, Alpha Squadron, was under
heavy fire. We were warring at the border of the
coast of Hawaii. The Japanese were too strong for
us, we had to retreat. Then, dismay fell upon us
like a ton of weights as a kamikaze pilot rammed
into our base and killed half of us, injuring five others.
My best friend, Cody was severely hurt and I
attended to him and the others while the rest shot
down the remaining planes. I managed to save
the wounded except one, Tony, the commander of
the squad. “Alpha Squadron! Alpha Squadron! Do
you read me?” It was General Donagan for he had
heard the explosion. I pounced on the walkie-talkie.
“We’re in bad shape sir! Please send some backup!”
But it was too late. Another kamikaze pilot was
bearing down upon us. We took our guns and the
wounded and scrambled to safety. Thank God we
were safe. I had all the medical supplies I could get
and Jake had the ammunition for our M-16s. We
crawled for metres and we had no choice but to
jump into a hole. It was our trap for the Japanese
and we were using it. We had to stay quiet for the
Japanese were moving forward. Fortunately, they
did not notice us.
We were desperate and frantic, praying so that we
may not be found. We had to find a way out of the
trap. We had to dig, as the hole was too high above.
Since there were about fifteen of us in the hole, we
took shifts to dig. We needn’t worry about the
Japanese as the bulk of their army had gone to the
mainland to fight. We were there for almost two
weeks and our escape tunnel was almost complete!
Our food and water supplies were depleted and
we had to depend on rain water. The wounded
were getting better and were able to help in the
126
The Voyager 2004 • Volume 72
digging. We finished the tunnel and I popped my
head out of the hole only to see the war hospital
which had been taken over by the Japanese.
We deliberated and decided to capture the hospital.
Patiently, we waited for nightfall. Then we crept in
stealthily. Our plan was to sound the fire alarm so
as to get the Japanese out of there. We knocked
out the guard and took his weapons. One of us
had to go in and activate the alarm. I volunteered,
donned the guard’s costume and went in. I located
the alarm and set it off. Unfortunately, I was grabbed
by a soldier. I then stuck my knife into his abdomen
and he died on the spot. I knew that I would not
be safe so I rushed out of there. We saw the soldiers
rushing out to safety. We crept in and quickly
boarded up the windows and doors. Our base was
so solid that they could not even penetrate it. We
radioed for backup but even before the backup
could arrive a few days later, a kamikaze plane hit
us.
We then crawled back into the tunnel safely. By
then, the whole Japanese army on the island was
looking for us. We encountered many soldiers on
the way to escape and we had to kill them to survive.
Unfortunately, we were caught and thrown into
jail. Though frightened, we summed up our
courage and by God’s will we broke out of jail.
Then, we got some weapons and freed the other
prisoners. Together, there were about forty-five of
us. We then headed to the beach and hailed a
passing American ship. We were found by the
Japanese and a fierce battle ensued. We managed
to defeat their army somehow and thanked God
for it. Soon, backup arrived and we were rescued.
I can’t forget that time, the time we fought the
Japanese in Hawaii and I still say to my friends, “How
we got away I’ll never know”.
¡United We Stand, Divided W
We Fall ª
I
bet that everyone has heard the story of the
farmer and his three sons. The farmer was
very sad to see his three sons bickering all the
time and therefore wanted to give them a lesson
on life. Thus, one day he summoned all three of
them and gave them each a stick. First, he asked
them to break the stick and this was done easily
by them. Then, he gave them each a bunch of
sticks tied together by a string. Again, he asked
them to try and break what was given to them.
Try they did but not one of the boys accomplish
the task their father gave them.
The old man looked pleased and this puzzled his
children. Looking up at their father with big round
innocent eyes, they asked their father the purpose
of this practice. Says their father, “Isn’t it easy to
break just a stick but not a bunch of sticks tied
together? That is exactly what happens in real life.
When we are alone and divided it is easy for others
to defeat us but if we are united nobody will be
able to penetrate our defense.” The boys nodded
and all of a sudden felt so ashamed of themselves
for not being able to see this before. From that
day onwards they have learned their lesson and
through working together they managed to raise
the productivity of the farm.
So, the moral of the story is to stand united and
never be selfish as through unity only will we be
strong. Look at the history of China for example,
the Middle Kingdom was always thrown into
chaos everytime feuding warlords went into battle.
She was unified for the first time under the Chin
Dynasty’s first ruler, Emperor Shih Huang Ti.
Although Emperor Shih was viewed as a very
cruel ruler, he did a magnificent job of unifying
China and the country became very prosperous
under him.
We need not go very far to look at evidences of
the importance of unity in our country. In 1874,
British forces managed to colonize Perak because
the royal princes were so busy trying to wrest the
silver state’s crown. In the end, this situation
proved to be a golden opportunity indeed for the
British forces to spread their wings in the then
Malaya as they were called in to help settle the
power struggle. Our own countrymen called in
foreigners to fight against our own countrymen
not realising that British only treated it as a
stepping stone to conquer the whole of Malaya
gradually!
We have also learned through the hard way. The
incident of 13th May 1969 is still fresh on our
minds especially for those who experienced it.
That very fateful day teaches us to appreciate unity
as it brings peace to our country. Only with unity
have we managed to attain the status of an
economically, socially and politically stable
country today.
Now, as we are gearing towards becoming a fully
developed country, we can heave a sigh of relief.
Our country has stood through thick and thin and
will continue to do so. People of different races,
ages and backgrounds can mingle together freely
and work towards a better Malaysia for all. This
show of unity further strengtened our country and
has managed to pull us out of the economic crisis
back in 1997. Our country does not only want to
achieve a developed nation status but also strives
to maintain unity thoroughly in her people. Unity
will ensure that our country will not be ‘colonized’
again in the future as in this era of globalization,
colonialism comes in the form of mental
colonialism and not through wars. Hence, we
have to constantly remind ourselves of these magic
words, ‘United we stand, divided we fall.’

Trick or Treat – A Ghosts Story 2004, is an adaptation of a radio play from the early 1980’s, entitled
the Ghost of Benjamin Sweet by Frederick and Pauline Gilsdorf. In this entirely student based production,
audience will be enthralled by the originality of the script, exciting beat of the numerous songs, and
beautifully choreographed dances as they vary the melodies from ‘almost ancient’ romantic love ballads,
to exciting mainstream pop and mostly originally written lyrics and tunes.
Trick or Treat, a half musical performance, is set on the
night of Halloween, as we travel into the dark and
mysterious realm of the undead…
“It’s Halloween,
Like none you’ve seen,
Coz’ tonight’s the night of frights.”
In Act One, we are introduced to the ghost of Sir Nicholas
von Stheizer; the villain of the story who is fed up with
his daily routine of scaring and frightening. Nicholas is
an over egoistic character and thinks of nothing but
himself. While pondering on his fate as an over successful
ghost with nothing more to achieve, in walks
Gimbleweed; a clumsy character who happens to be Sir
Nicholas’ inept and unwitty assistant/slave, very much to
Sir Nicholas’ delight as Gimbleweed is now the bearer of
good news. The duo then work out a little plan to cause
some trouble, and here we get to witness the little lovehate (very much the latter) relationship between the
two… Later we meet the ghost of Benjamin Smithe; a
British ghost whom the story revolves around. He too is
tired of his ghost life, and has never managed a scare
throughout his entire ghostly hood. As he sits in the
darkness of the graveyard assessing his lifetime/death
time in waltzes Grimlock; an over excited Italian ghost
who has just about completed his quota of scares for the
night. The two start conversing where Grimlock advices
Benjamin to get to work and “moan and groan and rattle
your chains” or face the dreadful ‘closet’. The scene ends
with a sneak peak of Benjamin as an utter failure of a
ghost as he fails to frighten a little girl in the middle of a
graveyard… on Halloween night of all nights!
The scene follows up with Nicholas and Gimbleweed
arriving for the Powers That Be meeting, where the ‘Head’
of The Powers That Be, Tenebaum is conducting a
meeting. The devilish duo overhear a plot to make
Benjamin scare a mortal by midnight as part of the master
plan for Tenenbaum and his cronies to return to life. Thus,
Nicholas and Gimbleweed manage to trick Tenenbaum
into trusting them with the task of finding and
persuading Benjamin to spring into action. Next, the true
plan of Nicholas is revealed as he tells Gimbleweed that
the true task was now to make Benjamin fails thus
causing the downfall of Tenenbaum, and later to take
power as the powerful ‘Head’. Gimbleweed then
surprisingly comes up with an idea to send Benjamin to
128
The Voyager 2004 • Volume 72
an Unscarable… those people who don’t believe in
ghosts and never will!
Next we are introduced to Maribelle and Bianca, the two
Shanigan sisters who are from descendants of
Unscarables. Gimbleweed then decides to ‘try-out’ the
Unscarables only to find out that Bianca, unlike Maribelle
is a cry baby…! Satisfied with the test, and positive that
Benjamin will not find luck there, Nicholas and
Gimbleweed leaves in search of Benjamin Smithe. The
trap is now set… all that was left was to make Benjamin
go to Maribelle’s house, that task falling upon
Gimbleweed. After much talk and an exciting song by
both Gimbleweed and Grimlock to persuade Benjamin
to make the scare, he subdues to pressure and accepts
the inevitable task. End of Act One.
Act Two kicks off with the arrival of Benjamin and
Grimlock to Maribelle’s house, being led on by
Gimbleweed. Upon arrival Benjamin and Grimlock
discover that they had been tricked into scaring an
Unscarable, but nonetheless, the task was still to be
carried out. Gimbleweed and Grimlock are then forced
to leave us Maribelle; the Unscarable enters the scene.
At once, Benjamin is struck by her astonishing beauty and
things take a drastic turn as instead of scaring Maribelle,
he ends up falling in love with her. Soon the two starts
up a fiery conversation where Maribelle too has grown
quite fond of dear old Benjamin, much to the amazement
of poor little Bianca who keeps on fainting in fright at
the sight of Benjamin Smithe! Maribelle continues to
rattle on about her daily burdens and what a pleasure it
would be to be a ghost, “I just wish I could get rid of all
these burdens and feel as light as a feather”. After much
talk and little hesitation, Benjamin decides to relieve
Maribelle of all her burdens and thus he kills her!!!
In the next scene, we get to see Benjamin pacing about
anxiously as he starts to accept the harsh truth that he
had just committed murder; a serious offence even in the
ghostly world and the fact that he had now fallen madly
in love with Maribelle. The self-proclaimed “Doctor Love’,
Grimlock then tries to give a lesson or two about love to
his buddy, only to make a complete mockery of himself.
The duo then quickly hide as the new ghost of Maribelle
enters the graveyard where she too speaks of her true
affections towards Benjamin only to the complete disgust
of Bianca. Later both Benjamin and Maribelle come face
to face with the inevitable task of confessing their
feelings towards each other. The scene ends with an
energetic beat as dancers perform a never before
attempted hip-hop love song.
Tenenbaum who was found guilty, and would be ‘thrown
into the closet’. Now all that was left was to make sure
Benjamin too was taken care off before Nicholas would
claim power and glory over this ghostly world.
Meanwhile, as the impending twelfth hour grows closer,
Tenenbaum is now in a state of panic; his assistants had
yet to return and no news had been heard from Sir
Nicholas or his clumsy assistant, Gimbleweed. Just as his
temper starts to flare, in walks Sir Nicholas and
Gimbleweed with some rather bad news. As soon as
news of the murder of Maribelle is heard. Tenenbaum
starts to throw a fit and swears the punishment of all that
were involved in the screw up; Benjamin, Gimbleweed
and even Sir Nicholas! However, the ever of smart and
cunning soul of Nicholas had it all planned to perfection,
as he twisted and turned the truth so that it was now
The trio of Benjamin, Maribelle and Grimlock soon find
out about the igenious plot to rid Benjamin from the
ghostly realm by overhearing a conversation between
Nicholas and Gimbleweed, and thus cook up a plan of
their own to outwit the two. As the seconds ticked
precariously by, the final confrontation of good and evil
arrives. A confident and reassured Benjamin fools around
with Nicholas by accepting the penalty of the ‘closet’,
much to the surprise of his own comrades before sealing
shut the final chapter in Nicholas’ ghostly hood forever.
Nicholas had been outwitted and at last he is no more…
In a nutshell, Trick or Treat-A Ghosts Story 2004 is an exciting treat for all, irregardless of age, colour or creed.
Its numerous songs and beats are sure to appeal to everyone as a wide array of beautifully choreographed
dances ranging from the vigorous pop and hip-hop, to the energetic tango performance and even a delicate
and enchanting ballet repertoire adaptation from the famed Giselle, await the eager watcher.

‘Lower the sails!’ as I, Captain (Editor) of The Voyager, ordered my loyal ship crew to set forth on a journey of a lifetime; an adventure in search of
treasures more valuable than gold and jewels-knowledge, experience and friendship, the priceless assets in our lives.
Christoper Columbus once set sail in search of a new world and a new world he found. A discovery which has widens his horizons and given him the
greatest treasure that no one could have imagined. His voyage has inspired others to reach for the impossible.
The ship,The Voyager, was handed to me by a great man of his time, the predecessor, Captain of The Voyager 2003. As the successor, it is my responsibility
to uphold the dream and hopes of every past captain, ensuring the ship sails smoothly towards excellence.
The outgoing captain and his crew celebrated their final meal with us before giving me the helm to his ship. From then on, we are destined to bring
new glories to our voyage, thus making this year another memorable journey into the unknown.
Unity (the chosen theme for this year’s magazine), is an essential element in ensuring a successful sail. The hard work and dedication shown by the
crew has inspired me to work harder in order to reach new heights. My gratitude to the lieutenants (board of directors) in assisting me with the
management of the ship and not forgetting, the crew who had maintained the ship at its best condition throughout our voyage. ‘Bravo, a job well
done!’
Along our sail across the seven seas, we have encountered uncoutable obstructions and we, as bold as ever, venture towards our destination without
any fear or doubt. I’m very grateful that The Voyager is blessed with an angel from above (Mrs. Yeap-teacher advisor) who has guided and showed us
the right path during critical times or when our compass doesn’t seem to be functioning. She has always been watching over us, making sure we’re
taking the right steps and not walking on the plank!
Finally, our journey has come to an end and it’s time for the next captain to embark on his own journey of discovery. The pleasure and outcome of our
journey will be shared with our friends and loved ones. We hope you fellow ACSians will enjoy reading and recalling the sweet as well as tough times
we have endured as students of our beloved school.
Once again, I would like to thank Mrs. Yeap, my friends from the editorial board (that includes everyone in the board) and those who have contributed
in making our magazine a success. I couldn’t have done it without all of you. Thank You.
