Old Puteras RMC Vigilante ‘95 @ Niners,
A decade and five years ago in December 1995, 104 of 17 years‐old, young and rebellious walked past the annals of our nation’s history. The proud tradition of fusion from the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst and of another institution where Briton’s Kings and Prime Ministers had attended – Eton.
In this blessed country of ours, RMC – the Royal Military College of Sungei Besi, Kuala Lumpur embodies such tradition. We may forget the years we went through in RMC was envisioned by the late General Tun Sir Gerald Templer, but we must never forget that the two years in RMC was the pinnacle of our strive for success, and the weight on our shoulders to become leaders in our fields.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all of you for coming to this Reunion: Vigilante 95 – Niners with our theme “15 Years of Brotherhood, 50 Years More” – it may sound a bit cocky because we will all be 80 somethings in the year 2060 AD, but I believe some of us may still be alive and kicking then.
I would also like to note my appreciation to all committee members who went the extra mile to ensure this reunion a success, and also not forgetting our wives for giving the license or visa on arrival for allowing us to pretend we’re boys again.
To all Budak Boys, a term coined by the British Non-Commissioned Officers, for the year of 1994‐1995, I SALUTE YOU.
