arwah Zain Hj Idris dalam kenangan (In the memory of late Zain Hj Idris)

 received this sms (on Friday after Maghrib prayers 22 Julai 2011) from Sdr Hussein. " Mohd Zain Hj Idris has passed away at 6 pm this evening in General Hospital Muar. He'll be buried in Muar Tomorrow. Al-Faatihah"

Takziah kepada keluarga beliau.

Innalillah ............

We will miss him. Though he was rarely with us at our monthly breakfast meetings, we have always remembered him in our heart. He was with us a few times, we remember, giving us the moral support, and the last time, if I remember, he joined us was at our breakfast meeting at the Penthouse MCOBA Building, some years back. And before that he at the funeral of our late friend Dr Nik Zainal. He was already not well then but tried to join the crowd.

A very quiet person, a humble person, an unassuming person, he was a friendly guy who got along well with all the classmates. His absence will be greatly felt.

Sdr Dahlan Ismail dalam kenangan

We received the news with sadness of the demise of Sdr Dahlan Ismail of Perlis, who passed away in Perlis on Thursday night 24 March 2011.

A friend, a colleague, a classmate who has been away from us for a long time, a person whom some of us keep in touch with off and on, a likeable person who used to live in Kuala Lumpur but who had decided to move back to his home State of Perlis some years back. Doing some farming he said.

It was only as if yesterday (some months back now) that he was at his daughter's wedding in Kuala Lumpur, and not many of us had the opportunity to attend the wedding. It was a very quiet affair.

We will miss him, his jovial and easy going attitude and his very down to earth life style.

May Allah SWT bless his soul.

Innalillah .... Al-Faatihah ..

A memorable trip to Kuala Kangsar

50 years later. In 1960 we took our School Cert and in 2010 we returned to visit the old place, MCKK which we remember as if 50 year ago was only yesterday. We left the place in tears, and those of us who boarded the train out of Kuala Kangsar not knowing whether we are coming back after the SC results is out, and some of us did not want to come back after staying at the MCKK all those years, some had earlier joined at the Kings Pavilion in Standard 4 and some in Form 1 and some in Form 3 years later. And we became friends and buddies, and on our retirements we formed the Patikans, which the nickname for the MCKK Class of year 1960 and those who were supposed to take the SC exams in 1960.

And in on 2^nd August 2010 we all returned to the College, the absentees are those who have departed, 17 have already left us forever, and the others having their own private commitment and could not make it back to the College. We bring along our families and even two widows of our Colleague who have left us.

We wish to thank those who help us to make this trip a memorable one and we cherish the memories of the past years at the College and this very successful trip.  And most of all we cherish our long term friendship among all the Patikans.

Thank you En Anand.

Thank you En Anand, the present HM at the MCKK, from all of us the Patikans, the MCKK Class of 60. We really felt at home when we, class members, wives and spouses of our colleague who have already passed away visited the Malay College on the 2nd of August this year. The reception we received from your staff (males and females) and the present boys was beyond expectation, and the attention you and your staff paid to the presentation by our Sdr Yeop Adlan was very encouraging. And of course we will not forget the durians that you help to procure for us, those were beautifully delicious beyond description. And our visit to the College especially and to Kuala Kangsar generally was most pleasant and memorable. We are grateful for the pleasant memories, your reception, and our stay at MCKK in all those years.

In rememberance of (the late) Imran Alias .......... Imran dalam kenangan.

With great sadness, we received the news of the demise of our friend (the late) Imran Alias on the 2^nd of August 2010, at GH KL, while we were all (most of us) going to Kuala Kangsar to visit our alma mater the Malay College Kuala Kangsar, we were then nearing Rawang. We could hardly turn back then as we had a very tight programme at the College with the teachers and students there. But some of the Patikans who were not able to make it on the bus to the College went to his funeral.

The late (arwah) Imran was a most likeable person, who lived in recluse and who unfortunately had been ill for a very long time. Even at the Malay College he was not that healthy, though he braved himself to join us all (then) in most of the school activities. But he excelled in debating, and took part in many debates in school, a person who had a quick mind and eloquent speeches to have the respect by all his debating opponents.

Because of his illness he had not been able to participate in almost all of the Patikans activities. We all understood. And many of the Patikans visited him periodically to comfort him in his difficult moments in life when he was alive,

Our condolence to his family.

Innalillah ………… Al-Faatihah.

Sdr Zulkernain Sidin dalam kenangan - in memory of Sdr Zulkernain Sidin.

It was with great sadness , to record that Sdr Zulkernain Sidin passed away in the early morning of Saturday 03 July 2010 in Seremban.
A very jovial person, cooperative in all aspects, and always been with the Patikan Group even though his health was failing.

He would attempt to join the Patikan monthly breakfast on all occassions, even though he might even have to travel in a vehicle whilst on a wheel chair.

We will all miss his company.

Perhaps other Patikan may like to make 'comments' in this blog.

May Allah SWT be always with his soul.

 Innalillah ....... A-Faatihah.

High Table

Not sure how true the news is, but it has been mentioned that MCKK does not have dining at High Table anymore.

If the news is true, it is sad.

Its only MCKK has such tradition (as far as I know, of schools in Malaysia); it may seem small but it is a part of character building at MCKK.

Those of us who have been to MCKK, and our children who have followed us, have always looked forward to dining at High Table. Its not the food, but its the honour, and its a the tradition that is most valuable.

Breakfast meet at Sdr Mohd Amiruddin

It has been a long time since that any of the Patikan (excepting a couple or so) ever held the regular breakfast meet at home. This time Sdr Mohd Amiruddin and his lovely wife held a 'big' breakfast at his house in Dato' Keramat, Kuala Lumpur, on Sunday morning 25th Oct. 2009. Thank you Mat and Zaharah for being gracious host and hostess at your cosy house.

And they came.

And the wife and 2 daughters of the late Syed Mohammad came all the way from Kuantan. This is the first time that they have come to join us at breakfast, though some months back one of the daughters came with her husband.

This happened at the Patikan monthly breakfast held at Sdr Wan Mahmud's house in Ulu Langat. Welcome to the Patikan (MCKK Class 60) Group, Puan Sharifah Hasmah bt. Tuan Muda

Sheep, goat and Patikan.

In Kuala Pilah (know where it is?) last Sunday, at Sdr Mohd Noor’s second abode, we saw sheep and goat. Many sheep and a very fierce goat. What can a goat do? Enter the compound where it is kept and you will know the result. And if you bend over …….. you can guess what it will do. Sdr Mohd Noor warned us about that.

Anyway we had a good time at his place in Kuala Pilah. 3 acres of well kept compound, grass trimmed, with fruit trees, fruiting, and a fish pond. One of the Patikans came all ready to go fishing but was disappointed when he saw only a fish pond with a few dozen domesticated tilapia fish. I think that Patikan disappeared and went fishing in a river nearby (Did he?).

Good food, good company, what more can one ask for? ‘Rendang’ kampong chicken, ‘rendang’ lamb (or was it goat?) and ‘rendang’ duck. To a few Patikan’s wives, these were strange stuff, so ….. some decided not to eat. But there were other alternatives and no one went home, after the gathering, hungry.

And the durian, they were plentiful, the Patikan ate the fruits to their hearts content. Maybe a few ate too much and went home bloated and some may even had to take extra medicines when they got home.

Patikan was pleased to see Sdr Zulkernain, who came even though he was on a wheel chair. And Sdr Faisal who had been absent for a long time from such Patikan gathering. So glad to see them two.

And for sick (and hospitalised) friends, Patikan passed a hat around, Sdr Ariffin Omar’s hat that was. And the collection came to RM 761 ……… quite good for retirees like us.

And Happy Birthday to those Patikan (and wives) born in June.

We have just finished the Patikan monthly breakfast at Puan Azizah's house in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, today, hosted by Puan Azizah, Puan Fatimah and Puan Wan Fatimah....... some good wives (and family members) our late classmates having left behind. Great!, that is all I can say about the breakfast.

Sdr Mokhtar & Sdri Bahariah 40th Marriage Anniversary.

Sunday 12 April, a ‘tahlil’ and ‘doa selamat’ was held at Sdr Mokhtar's house. All Patikans were invited, and many turned up, with their wives.

Congratulation to you both. May your happiness last, forever.


And it was also announced that Sdr Mazlan and wife had also been married for over 40 years now. Our heartiest congratulation to Sdr Mazlan and wife as well.

Sdr Mokhtar must be a keen gardener, look at the flowers found in the compound of his house.

Happy together

At Engku Mohd Annuar's house on Sunday 29th March 2009. The usual gathering of Patikans, but this time at a members house. Good food, good friends, and as usual, old friends come by, and other old friends absent themselves. A good raport built and relationships renewed.

Our monthly gathering

For the first time, on Sunday 1st March 2009, our Patikan Class of 1960 met for the monthly breakfast at the MCOBA Penthouse. Its like coming home to roost.


It was a real family gathering, happy mood, and ‘thanksgiving’ all around to everyone involved for making the group graciously happy as it is. Many have already left us forever but the wives and children have joined the group to keep the memory fresh.

Sdr Syed Ridzuan's son came with his wife, they have just got married a couple of months ago. And Sdr Zain Hj Idris re-appeared after being absent for such a long long time.

(Here he was standing with one of the breakfast co-host, Sdr Hussein Shaari, right on the far wall)

And as usual we have the Happy Birthday occasion for those with the birthdates falling during the month, in this case Feb. Smiling loving couple, you know who, happens to have birthdates in Feb. for both of them


And to Sdr Wan Mat, one of the Patikans, we have to give a token of our appreciation for being such a good host during our Jan. visit to his kampong. Here his wife is accepting that token. Just take a guess which of the three ladies is Wan Mat’s wife? (No prize for the right answer. She is the sweet lady, flowery dress, on the left side as you are looking at the photo)


And we had the honour of having the right hand part of the MCOBA Management with us. It was good of the Management to allow us to use the Penthouse for the gathering.


And the video of the stage show at last years MCOBA Annual Dinner was shown, two of our class mates played certain leading parts in that stage show. Sdr Syed Elias, one of the co-host for the breakfast is also one of the active members along with Sdr Hussein Shaari. And Sdr Syed Elias is shown sitting on the sofa, nearest the camera, watching the video.
