High School Batu Pahat
This is Sekolah Tinggi Batu Pahat or commonly known as High School Batu Pahat by all in BP. The official name is now Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tinggi Batu Pahat. This is where yours truly studied for secondary school.
(This front sign board did not exist while I was studying there, it was just a normal fence last time)
Everyone remembers the main office building as the white house. It seems that this photo that I took last year, the colour has changed.
It seems so weird or should I say different now, the colour of the building.
If you are wondering what is NunC Aut Nunquam. Well, that’s the school’s motto. It’s Latin for Now or Never.
Did you study in High School too? Well, I studied there from 1988 (Form 1) to 1992 (Form 5).

Another memorable character that we BP HiSchoolians must acknowledge and remember vivdly is Mr Palani (the librarian)…..without his first-class customer service approach in managing the counter to those “book borrowers” then (1970s) some of us could not become what we are today!! He is one of the unsung heroes of HSBP. Salam

SHORT BULLETIN……from The Administrator of the “New Kid On the Blog”……
As the reluctant administrator of this newly created blog http://hsbpclassof73upper6.blogspot.com/ for HSBP Class of 72/73 Sixth Formers, I appreciate very much if you can share with me your comments, feedback and also problems in logging into this website. It seems that it is easier if you have google account (I could be wrong!)……(but if you’re still using God forsaken Pentium2, there’s nothing much I could assist!)….. So far, not many of our long-lost former school and classmates have become members of this blog since it was first unoffically launched on 2nd February 2012 as the result of a brilliant idea from Prof Dato’ Dr Mushrifah Idris when I first met her (after almost 38 years later) in one of the seminars that I conducted specially for UKM Faculty of Science & Technology. I scrupulously managed to gather some of those that were contactable (thanks to Prof Mushrifah again!) for my 2nd daughter’s wedding reception dinner on 21st January 2012 in KL…..among them were Dr Mushrifah, Najib, Normah (my sister-in-law!), Raja, Mahzan and Fuaad. There were others who were invited but didn’t turn up during the said dinner. Don’t worry…I’m not slightestly disappointed for their unintentional absence as I still have 6 more to go………
Back to the the administration of this blog, I must give special mention here to those who have made this blog possible (in one way or another) and I would also like to again invite all other remaining members of HSBP Class of 72/73 Sixth Formers’ clan to rekindle old memories by getting in touch with everybody through this blog that is uniquely created as the “Heart Soothers & Breakers Pavilion”!!
If anyone of you still having the old images or photos (these are precious artefacts!) while in HSBP, kindly scan them and post it to me at my email address. And, if you still keeping “The Pilot” (HSBP School Magazine) year 1972 and 1973 editions in your treasure chest, please share those class photos by scanning them (if you’re not sure to do it, ask your smart children!) and email them to the administrator of this blog………failing which I have no choice but to make a trip to meet up with Mr Palani (the Librarian, hope he’s still around!) at HSBP so as to get those copies of the old precious “Pilot” magazines!
Again, in the event, if anyone of you still having problem(s) in blogging into this website http://hsbpclassof73upper6.blogspot.com/ , do not hesitate and meditate to email me at driaj2009@gmail.com or guru54@streamyx.com or SMS or call me at 019-6448764.
Thanks so much old folks for those contributions and comments or honest feedback……hope to hear much more heart soothing & breaking sentimental news from the other old tribe members of HSBP Class of 72/73 Sixth Formers….bye2 for now and Cheers!

There are some things best left unchanged and that includes the colour of the main building. The original white colour of the building should be retained and for goodness sake get the clock repaired! If its about high funds required to do it, I’m sure the state govt can be approached thru the assistance of En Puad Zarkasi?!

Received news today that Tn Khairul Faizi Khalid Abas was found somewhere in Taiping. Will furnish his exact location as soon as posibble (sorry, my GPS ran haywire)
Mr Cheah Phee Aik had been called to the Lord peacefully – RIP.
Refer to my entry #371, HM’s aka The Barber (very fond of carrying a pair of scissors around) exact location is at Taman Simpang Murni, Taiping Perak and now known as Tuan Haji Khairul Faizi bin Khalid Abas.
Those around 71 – 75 hopefully still remember him ….

2. Encik Shukur Nathan yang lebih dikenali sebagai Mr S Sugathan telah kembali ke rahmatullah 2 tahun yang lalu. Beliau salah seorang dari guru mathematics era 70s
I would like to thank you Joe for publishing the address of En Khairul Faizi. I was a teacher in BP High School in 1973 and 1974 and he was the Principal. When i was there some of the teachers were: mr Amarjit Singh, Mr Sugathan, Mr Christopher Reed, Ms Cynthia Goh, Ms Charanjit Kaur. I taught GP in Upper Six Science and English in Form 5. I have very fond memories of my days there with the students.
I would like to know what happened to Mr Sugathan who was an old family friend of ours from Kluang. I last met him when he was the Principal of SMK Paloh, Johore. He was an excellent maths teacher and very popular with the students too. May his soul rest in peace.
siva prasanna
cikgu shukor nathan adalah guru metamatik terbaik kami zaman 70an semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.
