36 alumni from the Civil Engineering class of '76 (together with their spouses and guests) gathered for their 42th anniversary reunion in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah from 12 to 15 July, hosted by Mr Wong Ching Kung and his wife Mrs Rosie Wong.

Alumni from different cities had a great time catching up with one another and reminiscing about the "Prince Edward" campus days. Over the four days, the group rekindled their bonds over activities such as island-hopping, sight-seeing, shopping, trekking and tasting of local cuisines.

The spirit of camaraderie was still strong among the classmates after more than four decades, who continued to support and look forward to their reunions.

Excerpts from 'Oh! To Be a Rafflesian!'

Always welcoming, always embracing,
Students from every faculty seem to relish,
Be it business, science, arts or engineering,
Into the millennium, Raffles Hall continues trailblazing.
For the 21st century brings in an advent of passionate ones,
Musicians, designers, writers and athletes continue striving,
United as one, it is through our actions we show that we care,
A sense of togetherness and solidarity, coupled with a warm spirit and positive mentality,
Breeding optimism, compassion, and not only success, the Rafflesian spirit continues to live on within each of us.
