OBW2012 …an emerald jubilee
SEKOLAH TUANKU ABDUL RAHMAN (STAR), Ipoh, is celebrating its 55th anniversary this very year. Throughout those five and a half long decades since its inception in the Merdeka year, 1957, STAR was a school and home for some of the brightest and most talented pupils in the country. It continues to be a teacher for generations of future leaders.
On Malaysia Day weekend this year, the Batch of 88-92 will be holding our annual STAR Old Boys’ Association (STAROBA) weekend (OBW2012). We are expecting a turnout of more than 800 old boys at this year's Emerald Jubilee event. There will be a Hari Raya Get Together at our school on Saturday, 14 September 2012, followed by the annual dinner later that night. STAROBA, our old boys’ association, will be having its Annual General Meeting on Sunday, 15 September 2012.
In between that, we have lined up games and activities, including a charity golf event and rugby matches to keep our boys happy. It is, ultimately, a reason for many of us to come down to Ipoh and renew our Brotherhood as Starians. For one weekend a year, we leave our ties in Kuala Lumpur and our decisions in Putrajaya to be among friends in Ipoh, particularly at this beloved alma matter off the infamous Tiger Lane (now known as Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah).
Our story is the story of how success was born, that is, when youth begins to explore their potentials. Our celebration is your celebration, God willing.
