Assalamualaikum and Greetings To One and All
As I Was Browsing Through . . .
A special note to Mr M Sockalingam (MS), former Managing Director of Oxford University Press/Penerbit Fajar Bakti Sdn Bhd... The content of this blog is dedicated to you.
When the four of us (MS, GKI, JI, AMB) met at Subang National Golf Club a couple of weeks ago, we talked about the good old days (of our involvement) with OUP/PFB. Though we were aware that GKI is a very new hand at Oxford Fajar (what OUP/PFB is now known as) we just kept on asking and answering questions at will. We wanted to know what each of us is doing now. We also talked about what we were doing earlier before coming into PFB/OUP. We had a good hour or so to go in depth regarding those matters. We never really had that kind of an opportunity to do so those days. Perhaps we were just too busy to be able to behave in this manner when we worked then! Whatever maybe the reason I thought that meeting was a very meaningful one.
Actually that was not just the reason why I am 'blogging' this special note to you MS. A few days ago I was trying to relocate some near forgotten records. While doing some 'tidying up' of my collection of books and magazines I came across a number of old Ministry of Education publications (Educational Journal). Browsing through the pages an article carrying your name caught my attention. It was entitled, "The Problems of Textbook Evaluation". It must have been written when you were the Pengarah of Biro Buku Teks. Do you remember that one? Or, perhaps you have written one too many to remember. Anyway I am publishing it down here . . . to refresh some fond memories (my own) as well . . . yours sincerely was in charge of the Translation Department for the MoE Educational Journal at that time.

Though I was never a STARIAN but a VICTORIAN . . . I am just as proud as they are . . . (but at a slightly different level) . . . ie of having been able to associate myself with a Managing Director of your calibre . . .at OUP/PFB.
Kudos MS.
