St. John Ambulans sets to be in SMK La Salle Sentul, Kuala Lumpur by 2011



In the month of April 2010, I put in my papers for transfer from SJAM SDE to SJAM WPKL as I saw a need to return to my alma mater SMK La Salle Sentul, Kuala Lumpur in providing First Aid classes to my former society (Bulan Sabit Merah). I was the Chairman of Persatuan Bulan Sabit Merah SMK La Salle Sentul, Kuala Lumpur from 1984-1986 and becoming one of the few longest serving Chairman of the society in the school. I too was serving as the committee member of the Old Boys Association of La Salle Sentul, KL (OBA LSS) 2007-2009.

It was sad that for the many years that bsm smklss existed, many of its members didn't acquired their Basic First Aid certification. They have only the very basic skills of it and a few passable marching skills to come to say. Being its former chair, I couldn't bear to see these lack of knowledge and skills in giving First Aid. Thus I made my moved that put my services in jeopardy (making me this year to missed my required annual 1st Aid re-examination for efficiency in service).

I was relieved after months of uncertainty from the SMK LSS as whether they would allow me and SJAM to set foot in the school or not. The verbal answer was given to me by the principal (after an hours discussion with her and the Co-curriculum teacher in charge in her office) that after this year's PMR I can begin canvassing for recruits to join SJAM SMKLSS next year. But at the same time I will continue my First Aid lessons to the present set of bsm smklss members. 

Hopefully by then come 2011, the new recruits and present bsm members can sit for their 1st ever 1st Aid examination and would have acquired the necessary basic skills of giving and providing a more comprehensive 1st Aid to those around them. And finally, SJAM will set foot in SMK La Salle Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.

National Olympic Academy 2007 - 2009

I was a participant at the National Olympic Academy for young Sports Leaders in 2006. The inspiration gained from the moderators and speakers and meeting the other participants from all walks of life (or aptly sports in Malaysia) and not forgetting the International participants prompted me to return as a volunteer the next 3 years running. After the official session ended, we would organise teh-tarik sessions and meet-up with those who share the same passion in sports. The comradeship we share continues to grow and flourish for us to continue to strive for the best in the sport and the youths that follows.

Here I would like to share some pictures that makes the memories much sweeter.
