STAROBA AGM and Dinner 2010....

Saturday, 17th July 2010

The STAROBA AGM was held Saturday afternoon at the school hall. The attendance this time was much bigger than usual. For reasons unclear to pakdokter, there apparently has been a groundswell of dissatisfaction amongst members towards the imcumbent committee. A lot of discussion and personal attacks had apparently taken place on the association's website which was initiated and sponsored by the supporters of the imcumbent committee.So a new team has been put up to challenge and replace the incumbent committee.

The new team was almost unanimously elected to replace the incumbent committee save for the former Vice-President who must have been part of the 'dissatisfied' lot.

To the new committee, pakdokter wishes you all 'Selamat Berkhidmat"...

Unfortunately the parties responsible for setting up, funding and maintaining the STAROBA Website has chosen to 'shut-down' the website almost immediately upon their defeat at the 'election'. This action was highly regrettable, leaving such a 'bad taste' to the weekend of a congregation and reunion of old boys with the spirited theme of "Brotherhood".

Pakdokter's batch of 1964-1971 ( Form 5 1969) was represented by about 10 guys. Not bad. Taking out about 10 who have passed on, this made up almost 10% of the starting batch of 120 pupils.

The 'Brotherhood' Dinner was held at the school padang. Luckily the heavy downpour that late afternoon had stopped by 7 pm although the ground was in some places soggy and wet. Pakdokter's batch of 1964-1971 had one table to ourselves. About 500 old boys and some teachers (old and new) joined the current students to a dinner of nasi minyak and the usual accompanying dishes.
