A Month of Sports and Patriotism

Month of May is the month of many events. A moment of happiness and a month of sadness.
People appreciating their moms this month. They will say "Happy Mother's Day" or "Selamat Hari Ibu". When we look at the past May also is the month of tragedy. Who can forget the 13th May 1969. Some of us, the old boys had experienced the traumatic event that they will not want to remember or that will never forget.

Do we know what was happened at our school during that time? Eventhough the incident was happened mostly in KL area, I believe the tension and effect of the incidents might be occurred here. Let the history past and pray for a better life. As Malaysians and of course as a Michaelian who used to sit in the same class, learn from the same teacher, sharing the same toilet and playing in the same field we must not let hatred and racial differences of different skin colors separate and segregated us.

We are not from a one race school. We are not a Malay School, SJKC and SJKT but we are a multiracial school. We had prove it since we were young. Why cant we do the same in our post school life?

Thus this month of May our fellow Malaysians will bring the honour of a country. They will fight for the people of Malaysia in Badminton(Thomas Cup), Hockey(Sultan Azlan Shah Cup) and Football(Intercontinental Cup).

Our Michaelian Khoo Kien Kheat again will show to the world that despite his yo yo performance he is still the one who should be feared of.

We will also want to honour not just the present sport heroes but also who make SMI proud in those days or shall we call our past heroes.

Thank you to Michaelian heroes of 1967 Thomas Cup winners; Mohamad Abdul Hadi and Charles David( Hockey); Loo Kum Zee and Matthews David (Athletics), Chee Wan Hoe, Shamsul Akmar Jappery; Rushanizam Idrus, Lim Seng Kong (former Perak and National Footballers) and others who had contribute to the world of sports.
