FORMER NEWCASTLE GRADUATES REUNION LUNCHEON AT KULAI ON 31ST. JANUARY 2015

Besides visiting our Newcastle University Medical campus, former graduates from Kuala Lumpur, Klang, Batu Pahat, Johor, Brunei and Singapore had a Reunion lunch at Kulai on 31st. January 2015. Some graduates came with their spouses and children. Some of us did not meet each other for the past 35 years i.e. after graduating from our University. As such, this reunion was rather special to some of us who have not met for so many years.

We remembered about our University days and the adventures we had then. Everyone enjoyed the reunion lunch and another reunion is being organised in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah in May 2015.
