Yayasan Arshad Ayub...


About an hour and a half ago, His Royal Highness The Sultan of Selangor, launch Yayasan Arshad Ayub (Arshad Ayub Foundation) at the Sime Darby Convention Centre, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. It was a momentous event, short of being historic. It is an endowment fund sort of, to enable needy bumiputera students get the necessary education funding should they need one, among other objectives of the foundation. Tan Sri Arshad Ayub (my ex-boss, mentor and friend for 3 decades now) is 80 this year and still moving along like there is no tomorrow, when many others his age are already having difficulty walking, let alone carry their own body. It is during occasions like this that we catch up on long lost friends. Bumped into Hamzah Sidang retired Schools Inspectorate Asst Director. Datuk Prof IAB who is now back here from Dubai at the INTI campus in Nilai, Dr Salleh, Hamidah of Prestige Communications, and many others dot dot dot. Tan Sri Arshad, he is blessed. I just wanna thank friends who took time off, accepting my invitation to join me at my table tonight. Thank you all....oh I forgot, Wadi could not join us. Reena called to inform me that he had been robbed by 3 men earlier this evening at Ampang....we will know the full details tomorrow morning...
