Salam, to all my SMC friends that eventually became cliffordians69 batch.
Why this blog is created ? This will be answered as we go along..
I'm not actually representing all Cliffordians of the year 1969, but specifically for my own classmates that originated from SMC classes, finally forming the core of Clifordians 1969 Science stream students. Taking SC/MCE exams in the year 1969.
Neither would I be talking about myself all along, but due to inadequate info on all matters, I would rely solely on my childhood experiences, generalised into an opinion that will relate the past, the present, and the future. Whoever is reading doesn't matter. My mission is to deliver what is supposed to be delivered.
I would also link a blog created by Saparudin Hj Shaari to complement each other at this adress if all members agree :
Members of cliffordians 1969 can contribute anything but nothing obscene please, or better still if you have a blog of your own then it would be great to be linked with each other. Otherwise, you could post your article to me using e-mail so that I can publish it via this blog/Saparudin's blog OR you can leave your comment at the bottom of each article written.
1. The Preschool Years (1951 - 1956)
Very few rich people in those days. Most kampung people like me found it difficult but not to the extent of having one meal/day. Truly living with basic necessities, walking barefooted most of the times (who needs foot reflexology at that time ?)
However looking at a verse from the Quran, it is the will of Allah :
Dan demikianlah Kami uji sebahagian dari mereka (yang kaya raya) dengan sebahagian yang lain (yang fakir miskin); lalu orang-orang yang kaya itu berkata (kepada orang-orang fakir miskin yang beriman): Inikah orang-orangnya yang telah dikurniakan nikmat oleh Allah kepada mereka di antara kami? (Allah berfirman): Bukankah Allah lebih mengetahui akan orang-orang yang bersyukur?
( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #53)

Dan dari satu hadis :
http://www.searchtruth.com
The major mode of transport in the village is 'walking' and by using bicycles. All the healthy people at that time....., diabetis, heart disease, kidney trouble, among others are unheard of. Most died due to old age. Cycling a few miles daily is just like riding motorcycles as of now. Normally by 9 pm, you are already in another dimension with sweet dreams...far from the influence of the idiot box, bad hats.
- no electricity
- no pipe water
- radio - yes for those who can manage.
...will be continued.
Thumbs up! Great job, Rahim. Firstly, just how many of us really belong to the last batch of the SMC@CSKK. Except for a few who're always in contact, what has happened to all the rest? Why not we start counting now 'til we come to a complete list. I remember, we're divided into 2 classes then, one under Mr Yuen & the other under Mr Sambanthan - prob'ly about 70-80 of us. I was from SK Talang with 5 others i.e. Mohd Sadri Tajuddin, Mohd Azizi Rais, Mohd Kassim Jamaluddin, Shaharuddin Idris & Khairuddin Mahmood & if memory doesn't fail me, we're all in SMC1A under Mr Yuen. I could also remember quite a few from SK Central like Zainal Aznam Jelan, Mohamad Halib, Amir Hassan Saidin, Mohd Shukur, Ismail Abdul Rahman, Abdul Jalil Khalid, Razali Idris & maybe Megat Azman. From SK Pdg Rengas, we had Saparudin Shaari, Razley Nordin, Jamil Aziz, Abdul Rahim Ngah Idin, Jalaluddin & Ibrahim Ariffin from Ketior, Mansor Dahaman from Manong, Yasin from Lempor, Mokhtar from Kota Lama & you Rahim from Liman, Kati. Hopefully, others could furnish us with the rest. Is it okay for a start?
