Tugas Headboy SMSJ 1978

I have been writing serious stuffs until now. I think I should actually tell my life story. Randomly. In term of time and event. I will write about my Form 5 experience in Sains Johor, SMSJ. I was actually the Head prefect , the first head boy (Saadiah Ahmad was the Head Girl) selected from the Form 5. I remembered that year there was no Upper Six. So, the HM, at that time Cikgu Hamzah Rashid appointed me as HB and Sudin (Shamsuddin Md Dom) the Secretary. We were seen as the 'bad guys' by the students just because we had to enforce all rulings in this boarding school. Common 'kesalahan' was curi barang, hisap rokok, bising masa prep, apa lagi, etc. I remembered every Sunday during assembly, I have to stand in front of everybody, I will shout "Sekolah. Baris Sedia" when the HM enter the school hall. There was 'public caning' at that time. I don't remember now who got the whack. There are things that you tend to forget because you 'forgive and forget' not keeping in the heart or 'dendam' business. To me I was doing my job, as best as I can, and if I need to scold anyopne I will do so. Thousand apologies. One thing I remembered till today is during prefect meeting, I think I went overboard and scolded especially the Girls Prefect, (for not doing their job well) this I will apologise , Fati, Hafizah, who else, I know that I was 'garang' at that time. In fact I am also at times garang till today but have mellowed a lot. I learned the hard way of being a leader at a very young age. But, I have no regrets because I have been given many opportunities to lead throughout my life in undergraduate, and in my career. I thank SMSJ for giving me that chance.
There are also stories which I will not forget, such as being reprimanded by Cikgu Hamzah Rashid about 'why students are wearing 'tudung', why this dakwah movement?' If you all remembered masa kita form 5 dulu kita sangat ketagihkan ilmu Islam, so we seek to find truth and we found it. As Headboy, I have to defend some girls for putting on 'tudung'. Anyone remembered the HM asking some of them to remove it, Hafizah ingat? Myself and Sudin pergi mengadap HM dan terpaksa backing pelajar. In fact I questioned him back, 'Apa salahnya pakai tudung - tutup aurat" He did not answer. Probably he was in a position where the authorities (Kementerian) need some answers as to why the dakwah movement is getting much interests.....
