Some have left us, but they will always be in our memory."Other prominent old Edwardians include former Olympic hurdler Ishtiaq Mubarak, Asian track queen Junaidah Aman, former Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik, and director-general of Education Tan Sri Wan Mohamed Zahid Noordin.The school will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2008.The Edwardians’ 39th annual reunion dinner will be held at the Legend Inn in Taiping on June 24.Old Edwardians can contact S.A.M.

CONSAL...for prof. Librarians

The Congress of Southeast Asian Librarians (CONSAL) was founded in Singapore in 1970 in response to a growing sense of Southeast Asian identity, fostered particularly by the formation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The initiative in forming CONSAL was taken by the Library Associations of Singapore and Malaysia, due to their common origin and long history of close cooperation.

Representatives from the library associations of Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and South Vietnam ratified its first constitution and the first CONSAL participants came from these seven countries. To date, CONSAL has 10 members which includes the library associations and librarians of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. (read more)
