MBSians go for a visit to Melaka !!Well, that's them. What a fantastic mix of faces, yeah??
One of the main things you do when you go visiting is to wander aimlessly...and chat endlessly!
This is one of the many historical buildings in Melaka, The City of History!
And the group ends up visiting a store...the owner of this store must be thinkin',"Whatever did I do to deserve such massive business??"
Of course they went shoppin'!! Though some of the boys aren't so keen...

The Visit to Taylor's College greatly benefited both the teachers and the students! Students were exposed to the various courses provided by Taylor's College.

I just want to let you know that we do have fun, but at the same time, we learn as well!
That's the motive of every MBS activity!

As you can see, the Parents Day proceded smoothly without any mishaps. I must comment that parents are indeed the key to unlocking the full potential of students. Nevertheless, there is a second key to that door, teachers! Therefore, both keys MUST work together because there are many doors sealed inside the students!

Many of the collection of fascinating stories have also been culled from past school magazines.

To those whose names and stories which are inadvertently omitted in this tapestry we extend our sincere apologies.

The Committee is also grateful for the invaluable time and interviews granted and memorabilia lent by some of our illustrious former students. In particular, we would like to thank Datuk Lim Cheng Chuan, Mr. Loh Keng Aun for reading the first draft, Mr. V. P. Mohan for his insightful suggestions and photographs, Dr. Cheah Hock San and Mr. Lau Eng Liang for their rare photographs, Dr. Goh Kong Chuan for vividly sharing the school’s early history, Mr. Sam Wah Leong and Mr. Shawn Lam for their technical expertise and Dato’ Kalimullah Hassan, Mr. Chew Why Hoong and Mr. Khor Hong Yin for their constant support.
