Old Edwardians to hold 56th annual reunion in Taiping tomorrow
THE old boys of King Edward VII School in Taiping, Perak, will hold their 56th annual reunion dinner at Hotel Perdana in the town at 8pm tomorrow.
Old Edwardian Association president Mohaideen Mohd Ishack said former students from several countries were expected to attend, including those residing in Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom and United States.
'The guest of honour at the dinner will be Old Edwardian Datuk Mohd Zaki Mahyudin, who is also Perak financial officer,' said Mohaideen.
The school's 107th annual Sports Day will be held on the school field at 8.30am on the same day.
Mohaideen said the Yeoh Teng Khoo Rugby Match between Old Edwardians and present school team will take place at the school field at 5pm today.
The Edward Mai Hockey Match, also between old boys and current students, will be held simultaneously at the same field.
Mohaideen said the association had spent about RM3,000 to repair the 120-year-old school gate.
'As it is made of cast iron, repairing and repainting it was quite costly,' he said, adding that the gate was presented by King Edward VII from England in 1905.
As for the annual general meeting, it will be held at the association's premises at No.119, Jalan Station, at 10am on Sunday.
For details, call Mohaideen at 019-578 4786.

Sarawakian golfer Mirabel Ting clinches maiden pro win
The 19-year-old from Miri delivered a commanding performance to secure a nine-shot victory. — Bernama file photo KUCHING (Aug 1): Sarawakian golf star Mirabel Ting Ern Hui achieved a major milestone in her blossoming career, capturing her first professional title just weeks after turning pro on July 3. The 19-year-old from Miri delivered a commanding performance to secure a nine-shot victory at the PGM Royal Pahang Championship, held at the Pahang Royal Golf Club, finishing with a three-day total of 14-under-par 202. Mirabel was in control from start to finish in the 54-hole tournament, opening with a 67, then surging ahead with a brilliant 65 on Wednesday to take a five-shot lead into the final round. She closed with a composed two-under 70 on Thursday and was the only player in the women's field to shoot under par in all three rounds. This marks Mirabel's second career win on the PGM Tour, her first being at the Fortuner Cup in June 2023, when she was still an amateur. The win also earned her RM10,000 in prize money. Veteran pro Aretha Pan finished runner-up with a five-under 211 (68-69-74), while fellow Sarawakian Zulaikah Nasser claimed third place at even-par 216 (73-72-71). Reflecting on her win, Mirabel paid a heartfelt tribute to her late grandfather, Ng Siaw Pheng, who introduced her to the sport. 'He always hoped I'd turn pro and compete at the highest level,' she told the New Straits Times. 'He was always there for me and Malcolm (my brother) whenever we returned to Miri.' Mirabel said she was thrilled to be playing at home and alongside her brother. 'This win means a lot,' she added. The former world No. 2 amateur made her professional debut earlier this month at the Amundi Evian Championship in France, one of the LPGA's five majors. Although she missed the cut, she has now bounced back impressively on home soil. Mirabel Ting Ern Hui PGM Royal Pahang Championship
