My Naam Kheong Primary School Standard 3 (1964) Classmates

This is truly nostalgic and amazing and must be posted for the record.

I went to primary school at SJK(C) Naam Kheong (南强小学) Jalan Cheras, K.L. from 1962 (Standard 1) till 1964 (Standard 3).  I left Naam Kheong to be transferred to SJK(C) Tsun Jin (循人小学) Kampong Pandan, K.L. from 1965 (Standard 4) till 1967 (Standard 6).

I have kept with me all this while one and only one Standard 3 group photo of the Class of 1964 at Naam Kheong as the sole memory of my first 3 years of primary school life.  I have forgotten all the names and faces of those classmates except two of them, i.e. Lee Tuck Hoong (李德雄) and Teh Kim Hock (郑金囯) who resumed to be my senior middle (高一至高三) classmates at Tsun Jin High School (循人中学) from 1970 till 1973.

On December 12, 2015 (Saturday), I was invited by Lee Tuck Hoong to attend his youngest daughter’s wedding lunch at Hee Lai Ton Restaurant, Shaw Parade, Pudu, K.L.  There were 2 tables of Lee’s primary school classmates and spouses.  Although I really didn’t recognize any of them, I managed to dig out the Class Photo via my cell-phone and showed it to a few of them.  It was indeed a very pleasant reunion after half a century or 51 years of absence!

It is remarkable to note that on the same night of Saturday after I forwarded via WhatsApp the Class Photo to Lee Tuck Hoong, he responded by identifying the names of 25 classmates out of total 36 in the photo.

On Sunday (December 13, 2015), a former classmate Richard Lim posted an updated list in the WhatsApp group providing the names of 33 classmates in the photo.  And today Monday (December 14, 2015), yet another classmate Loo Yoke Ying (卢玉英) furnished the complete list as shown below the photo.

My my, I can only conclude by paying my utmost salutation to this group of my former primary school classmates for their friendship and passion!  Hope to meet them all in a proper reunion gathering one of these days in the future for old time’s sake!
