15 March, Kuching : It all started with a 20th
anniversary reunion dinner held December last year, by ex-student of SMB St
Thomas, Form Five Class of 1994, when an idea was put forward to make the group
a registered organisation. Now it has become a reality with the creation of
Thomian 94 Alumni Organisation.
The
Thomian 94 Alumni Organisation was established with the objective of reuniting
all alumni of SMB St. Thomas’s Form Five Class of 1994, and those born in 1977
through a medium where all of them can interact, involved in various social and
welfare activities which can benefit the school, the members as well as the
community.
“With
this, we hope we can boost up our efforts to get all alumni to register, thus
enable us to concentrate our efforts to assist the school in any way we can
through various activities,” Said Iskhander Mohammad, who is also the
president.
“Getting
ourselves registered, we hoped it will attract all alumni to register, and in
turn, contribute either their time, energy, knowledge or even in the financial
aspect which can benefit the members as well as the community,” he added during
the launching of the organisation official logo at their office at MJC Batu
Kawa.
The
response has been quite lukewarm from the alumni and Andre Ong, who is the
Public Relations Officer for the organization has pointed several factors which
may contributed to it. “Geographical factor and time may have played its part,
but we have lined up several activities we hoped will encourage them to
register and contribute to the cause. In fact the office where we reside now
was through the effort of our alumni, who also is the advisor, Malcolm Layang
Jimbun.”
Next
for the Thomian 94 Alumni will be to meet the SMK St Thomas school Management
to discuss how we can assist the school as well as executing and participating
in their activities which may have been lined up.
