Dear classmates,

In the morning of  8^thDecember, a bunch of old men, many of whom had attained the title of Datoship (being a grandfather), went back to the classroom in Chung Ling High School (photo attached).  They were briefed on the latest development of the school.  Old men seemed to be enthusiastic.  Saw Ewe Yong even asked if they could enrol again.

One major change in the classroom that could be seen was the big screen and touch sensitive TV with internet connection in place of the black board.  The other was the CCTV camera that allowed the class to be monitored from a remote location.

For the sake of those who were away from Penang and not back for along time, I like to report that you can now find street arts at many locations in the old quarters of the city.  I saw the wall paintings at Armenian Street during my last trip, and found them to be interesting and creative work of art (photo attached). So you have another reason to return to Penang to rediscover it and join the next class reunion.
