   What can one say about a teacher who makes the students remember all
   the names and exports of the major islands in Indonesia and the
   Phillipines?? And of course, who can forget his 6 feet cane (if not
   longer...) which he used to tap students sleeping at the back of the
   classroom. An excellent teacher who advertised Malaysian rubber as
   the best in the world for making durable condoms...8^)

   One can only conclude that an educator who takes 20 steps in 10
   seconds is truly full of energy. A great teacher in and outside the
   classroom, who was very generous with his swinging right hander 8^)
   
   Of course, there is also Mr. Choong Swee Ching, whom I learned,
   passed away a few years back. All those U-18 and U-15 Volleyball
   Championship banners won't be there if not for him...A truly
   remarkable person.

   Now, doesn't his book make him a more interesting teacher than he
   really is during class?? ;-) Regardless, a teacher who knows his
   subject, and always there to help whenever he can.

   It is truly a waste of top-rated teachers if this is going to be
   the continuing attitude of the new students. Everything is provided
   to optimize the studying conditions of the students, from my own
   experiences. These were/are only a few of the teachers who are among
   the best in their fields, both in knowledge and dedication.

   I always thought he was both underrated and misjudged during his
   5 years at STAR. An ex-MCKK student (MCOBA?), but always gives his
   best for the school. I always liked his innovative styles and his
   efforts to improve the school. Gotta learn to be on time tho', and
   cut down on those long speeches 8-)...
   Compare his years in the school with those of his successors (?) (is
   Hussein still there?) and one can only see what he has done for the
   school....
