Letter from Amyzaddin on SPKG

Dear Compadres,

Allow me to take few minutes of your precious time to update you on the "Program Sireh Pulang ke Gagang MRSM Taiping 2008", scheduled to take place on July 25th to 27th this month.

The tentative programme is as follows:

Friday, July 25th
9.00 am - 12.00 pm - Motivational Programme
3.00 pm - 4.30 pm - Pelancaran sambutan 25 Tahun MRSM Taiping oleh Menteri Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi
5.00 pm - 7.00 pm - Sukan (antara alumni, guru-guru dan pelajar) (bola sepak, bola jaring, tennis, bola tampar, badminton)
8.00 pm - 10.30 pm - BBQ and durian session for the alumni

Saturday, July 26th
9.00 am - 12.30 pm - Career Exposure (This starts with talks on various professions by the alumni, followed by small group discussions with students based on their career interest, to be facilitated by alumni in the relevent profession)
2.00 pm - 3.30 pm - Talk on Tips for Going to Interviews (by the alumni)
3.45 pm - 6.00 pm - 'Walking Down Memory Lane'. A special programme organized by the school.
8.30 pm - MRSM Taiping 25th Year Anniversary Dinner (at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort)

Sunday, July 27th
8.00 am - Charity Golf Session for the alumni concurrently, for those who dont play golf,

9.00 am - Mock interview conducted by the alumni

The programme ends after lunch.

FYI, the 'Walking Down the Memory Lane' is a programme organized by the school. Amongst other things, there will be a forum, short clips of interviews with the alumni on their experience in Taiping etc. Ms Chan Kum Leen contacted me few days ago, asking for my help to ask all of you if you could write a short para on your most memorable Taiping experience so that it can be put in the montage. At the same time, she's also asking us to do her a favour and send in any old photos of ours taken during our Taiping days, also to be put in the montage. The short write-up as well as the old photos should be emailed to rasyidimradzi@yahoo.co.uk and nurulnoi@yahoo.com . They are both teachers in the English Department.

For the dinner, we hope to be able to gather between 500 to 600 guests to attend the event. Oh ya, it will be at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort. Apart from the alumni, all teachers including those who have previously taught in the school, will be invited. And the plan is for all costs to be borne by the alumni (ie the alumni will be paying for the teachers as well which I think is quite fair considering all that they have done for us...). For that, the charge per attending alumni is RM200. Should you wish to bring your spouse along, it will be RM300 per couple.

I must share with you that the response from the alumni so far, has been relatively disappointing. I am a little saddened by this cos even while I realise that this dinner may not mean that much to us, but having talked to the current Pengetua, it seems to me that it really means a lot to the school and the teachers. Other MRSMs who have had their jubilee celebrations have managed to make it a great success. So, I am using this opportunity to plead for your support. Come-lah and take some time off to join us this coming 25th to 27th. I am sure you will not be disappointed. In fact, together we will all make this event an even greater success. I can understand that some of us may find taking leave on a Friday difficult. So If you really can't make it for Friday, you can always come on Saturday. If to spend your weekend there is still so difficult, please do try at least to come for the dinner on the 26th. I am sure that is not too much to ask for.

We are also looking for people who would be interested to buy tables for the dinner as a means of sponsoring the dinner. Tables are being sold at RM2000 per table. You are welcome to buy few tables, a table, half a table, or even to sponsor just any amount. In case you can't make it even for the dinner, we would much welcome it if you would consider making any contributions. But mind you that all sponsorship is generally meant to cover the cost of the dinner for the teachers.

All payments by cheque can be made payable to PERSATUAN BEKAS PELAJAR MRSM - ANSARA TAIPING. But we would much prefer if you can directly bank in the cash to account :5644 9010 1614 of Maybank. Once you have done so, please fax the bank slip to me at 03 - 8888 3424 and sms me at my mobile stated below.

We would much appreciate if you could make the payment the soonest possible as the school needs the money urgently to better prepare for the event that is just round the corner.

I guess, thats all for now. Should you have any querries whatsoever, please do not hesitate to call me.

Thanks so much for your time and my apologies if the e mail is a little long.

Hope to see you this 25th.

Cheers!

ps : I would really appreciate it if you could extend this e mail to your other ex-Taiping friends. It is only this much of ex-Taipings that I have in my list

regards,
Amyzaddin
