SELAMAT HARI IBU

Ayah dan Ibu...
Itulah permulaan kami
Dapat melihat bulan dan matahari

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am your shoulders
You raise me up...To more that I can be


Hayatilah video di bawah ini
Ingatlah mereka selagi mereka masih ada
Jangan sesekali lupakan mereka apabila sudah berjaya

I'm an old boy of St. Michael's Institution. I comes from Batch 2008. Mr. Louis Rozario is one of the highly respected principal in SMI and i believe everyones will agree with that. I'm not going to talk about how great the school is back in 70's,80's,90's but i want to share a little bit of pros and cons during my time in this school.

When i was in Form one, Mr. Louis Rozario was the principal and everyone loves him because he willing to help Michaelians when they're in trouble and he also make sure everyone will participate whatever events that school going to held. He can be strict and your friend at the same time but whatever he do for school is always a good ones for us. I never get caned from Mr. Louis but i have seen he whacked my mates. To tell the truth, it looks exactly how pro tennis player whack the tennis ball. Fast isn't? When you translate that situation this, you can imagine how 'mutual feeling' you will feel after got whack.

But after Mr. Lousi Rozario left the school and Mr. Phoon become our Principal, 60 percent of students at that time are not satisfied with Mr. Phoon qualities. First of all, he is not a Michaelian and he doesn't have a good leadership like Mr. Louis has. I'm not saying Mr. Phoon is a good principal, he is good if he is not how come he got chosen to be a principal in this premier school right? But i believe there is a room for him to show his true good color to Michaelians. The new teachers in SMI is not really a 'Michaelian' type. For me, they are just like a bunch of normal teachers teaching in Tuition centre. They don't really care if you study or not and it shows that this new era of SMI is not like the good old days.

Staffs in the office are not that kind. I'm sorry to say this but it's a fact. Staffs reacts differently to teachers and parents and also students. I still remembered when a junior entered the office and ask the staff if he could use the pen and this is what the one of the staffs said; Ini bukan meja saya, saya hanya menumpang meja nie, dik.When Principal cames in, they acted differently and willing to help.

A simple help cannot be done and how are they going to help the rest of Michaelians? Staffs need to be helpful and kind to Michaelians. Don't be a boss when Principal is not around and shows that you're the 'master' in the office.

I'm not a hard-working student but i love my school. You don't need to know me because what i'm writing this is just a piece of notes for students, teachers and readers to read it. They can critize it if they want or reject this but if you want to improve the school, don't always write the good things happen in school, we need to discuss the negative side too.

I still don't understand why Form one and Form two students are compulsory to wear tie everyday while the senior only wears it on Monday for assembly. Why not wearing it everyday like Form one and Form two students. Peter Khiew did a good job than morning section Dicipline Teacher. I have no doubt about this.

Peter Khiew, if you reading this, you have my respect and please tells your mates how to be like you because i see most of them are not capable of being a dicipline teacher. So do something to improve school dicipline.

There is a lot of things happens in SMI regarding students dicipline problems but i don't want to touch on that issue because it might rip the school status. So the bosses in St. Michael's Institution, play your role and all the best.

Dear Michaelian 08,

Firstly thanks for your comment.
Secondly, your comment should not be posted in Selamat Hari Ibu...hehehe...
There is a new post for teacher...but it's ok...

well..SMIOB received some complaints about the current administration..from the students discipline, about some of the teachers and of course about Mr.Phoon..the current principal..

We must curb or rectify the problems in SMI...

that is why there must be a collaboration between the school,parents and the old boys...these 3 alliance or "3 PAKSI" must always sit together to discuss this matter..

we must make the school is a nice or interesting place for the students...the school should make the students to become an all rounder person..apart from emphasizes on academic...other activities such as sports and cocurriculum should not be neglected..time has come for us to do the necessary...

One of the form 1 student told the SMIOB representative that "dia tak suka SMI" because the teacher is not friendly...

we must make the students to be proud of SMI even after graduated from SMI...

and SMIOB is willing to help..and so far..we had achieved part of it,if not in whole our target in promoting Michaelians awareness and proud to the old boys...

anonymous...SMIOB would like to know you..even though you were reluctant to introduce yourself...
tell us and email to us on what was really happened in SMI so that we can discuss it further...

TQ
