Dear Han,
It was equally a great pleasure for me to meet up with you and the others during the recent
lunch "re-union" in Kulai last Saturday. I believe that people of the same age group can recognize each other much better, than the younger age group, as they grow and change so much !!! ( not an excuse for poor memory! wish I could add a few gigs to my hard disk! ).
The names you mentioned all sound very familiar, and even as we mentioned them during our
chats, I tried hard to figure how they will look like , now as adults with children etc.. Maybe in my next trip back to Kulai ( Chua Kok Wah...always wears a "crew-cut" right ? )
Greetings to all those reading in copy of this email.
After my retirement ( UMW Toyota extended my service for 3 years after the official retirement age ), I was invited to work in the Gulf Countires. The Head office is in Beirut, Lebanon. As the company has quite an international operations, I travelled quite bit between Algiers, Algeria;
Casabalanca, Morocco and of course Beirut. So if there is any delay in replying your email,
please be patient, Internet connections may be poor in some places. Best Regards to you and family,
Yours Sincerely,
Kom Kok Fong ( official document, birth Certificate dictates I used Kom instead of Kam,
either one is acceptable! )

Mr. Kam,
Thank you for the many years you spent with us when we were young.
One vivid memory was your presence during our regular camping in the English Primary School.
In my sharing with fellow BB officers in Malaysia when I do training for them, I use to say this,
When I was a young boy, we had officers come by to be with us as role models. These officers encouraged us greatly by giving us your time and being there when we needed you most.
One of the officers was you, Mr. Kam. You will not know how important it was during those time that we had you come by for us. You made all the difference.
Remember during one outing, many BB boys (Kok Wah and Poh Lim's batch) were lost while trekking in Gunung Pulai? We got news that you were ever ready to extend help to us although we found our way out. We were informed later that you tried to arrange a land rover to go into Gunung Pulai to search for us.
Now that I am an adult, I try to follow in your footsteps helping the youth as much as I can.
Mr. Kam, Thank you for being for us when we needed you.
Warmest regards
Ha Yin
Dear Ho,
Thank you so much for your email, I feel proud to hear that all of you are doing well.
Time really flies, I can remember during one of those "tuition" class in the evening before
your exams, when we wondered into world of Einstein's theory of relativity and had a good
laugh when it was suggested that if we can travel faster than the speed of light, go to one of those faraway planets and return younger than our children !!
It is good that all of you are in some ways involved with Youth activities to try and draw them away from the likes of drugs, gangsterism etc...
I am sure when they grow up, they would surely appreciate your presence and guidance, although they may feel otherwise now !
I understand that you are very active in the BB, B Pahat.
Keep up the good work and keep in touch.
With Best Regards,
Kom,
( if it sounds more familiar, Kam is OK !)
dear,mr kam.
glad to note that you're still doing well. I wondered you can still remember me bur during your time as an official in 1st Kulai, I always look up on you as my role model.
Then and then, I used to ask about you. They told me that you're doing well with UMW.
I still remember you've a house in 21st mile.You still using your Fiat 127 in yellow color.
Yours in BB fellowship,
Lee Let Long
Dear Han,
Thank you for forwarding Let long's message to me.
I am now in Algiers, Algeria and rather busy so have not visited the alumni site lately.
Dear Let Long,
I am very happy to recieve your message. Likewise, whenever I am back in Kulai,
I always wondered what happen to your group. My last trip back, I was able to meet up with
TS as well as Andrew Hiew, former Captain. Well I managed to get some information about
you guys and was really pleased to hear that all of you are doing well.
Well, if it is not too late, Congratulations and keep up the good work. The youth in Kulai
need people like you! The responsibilities as Captain is heavy, but I am sure you will take it
in your strike and built up the Company.
I moved up to Subang Jaya in the late '80s and later sold my house in Kulai (21st mile)
as you quite rightly remembered. Since my move to UMW Toyota early 80s, I don;t use
any more Fiats! And you are right again about my Fiat 127.Good memory.
Hopefully we can meet up with you and the others as well in the near future.
Wishing you and your family well,
Best Regards,
Kok Fong
Good post.
