14 and 15 April marked the yearly tournament of COBRA 10's. this year it's held in the newly developed town of Setia Alam.

KCC Australia 5-26 STAR

A Teacher And A Teacher

On 5 February this year, nine remarkable persons were honoured and named Tokoh Maulidul Rasul 1433H. Honestly I can't recall who and how many people received this award last year, although I know the King's Speech won the Best Picture Oscar. But this year is special and exceptional because one of the recipients was Muhamad Fuad Yeoh, Deputy President of the Chinese Muslim Association. You know him or, at least, have heard of him. I happen to know him because we're together for eight years at Tiger Lane. When we first met, we're culturally worlds apart: he's a Malay-speaking Chinese and I was a Kelantanese-speaking Kelantanese.

A NEW CHAMP IS BORN

Mission accomplished!!!. It’s truly awesome.

At long last STAR was declared the overall champion in the Kinta Utara Athletics meet ended yesterday bagging 25 gold, 14 silver and 13 bronze. SMK Seri Kledang came in second with only 8 gold medals.

After almost a year round of grueling hard work we can declare to the people of Kinta Utara that Hard-Work pays.

Apart from the annual OBW dinner in Ipoh, admittedly it has been some time since we last have our STAROBA dinner in Kuala Lumpur. We actually need to touch base regularly and to refresh the relationship as well as the networking between us, STARians. After all there are a number of us who, due to one reason or another, could not make it to the OBW (Old Boys' Weekend) held annually at our beloved alma mater, STAR.

2012 STAR Mini Marathon Report

While most us were enjoying a nice Saturday lie-in at the start of the long weekend on February 4, 2012 a group of old boys (incuding the author) made the journey up to the old alma mater to run in the 2012 STAR Mini Marathon. 18 of us came back with finisher medals and were already looking forward to next year's event.

STAR, or Pie In The Sky

The recent revelation that only 90 out of 120 selected students have accepted offers for enrolment at our school is disturbing and embarrassing. Is this an isolated phenomenon? I mean, is this peculiar to our school? Is 25% snub rate standard across all Sekolah Berasrama Penuh (SBP) and even MRSMs? It can’t be, because just this morning I could hear my neighbour moaning in his bedroom. No, not that. He’s just very angry that his high-achieving son hadn’t been selected for any SBP.

FUAD - Anugerah Maulidul Rasul

Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Cina Muslim Malaysia Ir Dr Muhammad Fuad Yeoh (STAR’71) adalah salah satu dari sembilan individu yang menerima anugerah sambutan Maulidur Rasul peringkat kebangsaan.
“Saya sebenarnya berasa gembira dan juga berasa bersyukur dan terima kasih kerana mungkin usaha-usaha atau sumbangan sekecil yang saya lakukan itu mendapat perhatian dan diberi recognition” kata beliau. “Penganugerahan sambutan Maulidur Rasul ini merupakan satu galakan kepada saya untuk terus melakukan apa yang patut dilakukan oleh seorang aktivis dalam gerakan Islam.” tambahan Fuad.
"Saya berasa gembira dan syukur kerana sumbangan kecil saya telah mendapat perhatian dan diberi penghargaan," katanya.

Yeoh Kiat Hian (nama dahulu) semasa di STAR adalah seorang penuntut yang hebat secara akademik. Walau pun belum lagi seorang Islam, Fuad selalu bersama kawan-kawan di kelas sewaktu subjek agama, malahan sekali gus mengambil ujian agama.

Tahniah Ir Dr Muhammad Fuad Yeoh. STARIANS, old and new, are proud of you especially the STAR66 gang.

STAROBA LOGO - Final

After further consideration based on inputs received from various quarters and at the same time maintaining a strong connection with our beloved alma mater, STAR, the STAROBA AJK is pleased to hereby announce the final version of the new STAROBA logo. Thank you.

Decent Start in 2012

ANSARA held the 2^nd edition of its famous ALUMNI CUP on the weekend of 28-29January. It was a great start for IX STAROBA.

DAY ONE,
A lucky start for us as we had a walkover win over Intergrasi Jempol. Though it was a walkover, it is the first time STAROBA won their first game of the day as previously we were held to a draw during Arau 10’s, we lost to Seksyen 7 Shah Alam during ANSARA 10’s Salam Cup. At midday match we dominated the game against Old La Salleans and won comfortably 19-0. We did really well as we kept our score sheet clean. The last game for the day was with KysER or Kolej Yayasan Saad Ex Resident. We won 17-0.

Let's Bring Hamdan Home

If you are an ardent STAR sports fan cum archivist, you would notice a glaring sporting anomaly. 

In the annals of its glorious sporting history, STAR has never won the Piala Hamdan Shaikh Tahir (‘Hamdan’) - the symbol of basketball supremacy intensely contested amongst SBP during the Pesta Perdana Menteri (‘PPM’) or recently known as Hari Kecemerlangan SBP (‘HKSBP’).
