The Second Phase

2. The Primary School Years (1957 - 1964)

I believe Every SMCians would have their own tall stories to tell as they started the journey to professorship, datukship, aah... whatever ship...., as each of us stepped into the classroom of Standard 1, wherever it might be. The town scenario would be different I believe. I would'nt know the scenario in Padang Rengas, Kuala Kangsar, Talang , Manong ? Sayong ? Grik ?

Just a little flashback, my first school was shared with a Religous School. We attended the morning session. The afternoon belongs to the Religous School. How thoughtful of those people !!! So if you are talking about a dual school, nothing new. As usual walking would be the mode of transport, rain or shine. This is the first school that I mentioned although the picture dated 1976, it's the same school, using the ground floor.


Believe it or not, the first memory chip was invented during this time. Every Student had to use the Flinstone's like slabs (papan batu) to write on...after each subject, whatever memory on that slab is deleted. So your brain is the main disc, and that slab is the memory chip...
and what else do they teach.....singing, not the zikr but something else...I remembered the first verse, it goes like this "oh rama-rama kau sungguh cantik..." (bad sector on hardisk, couldn't remember the rest).

It should've been the Asmaul Husna !!

Before proceeding any further let's take a break : In memory of our Prophet SAW, his family and friends, our parents, our teachers, our friends, that had been called earlier....Al-Fatihah.

Students respected their teachers far from we observed today...and teachers too you know...can at will punish any student or all students to decipline them as in this typical case.

The class was given the task of collecting litters/garbage in the school field. Somehow or rather a few pieces still lying here and there not being picked up. When the teacher inspected surely not to his satisfaction, lined up the whole class and slapped everyone...what do you think he is trying to instill ?

"kebersihan separuh dari iman"

Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fill upwhat is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves. (Book #002, Hadith #0432) - Sahih Muslim.
