Railway Trip To Papar





Hi,


This is for the few St Marys Form 6 Science students in 1972 (or 1971?). They were the selected to represent Sandakan in a Science Quiz or Debate on RTM Sabah (or Radio Sabah).


I remembered Kwan Kar Choi, Hubert Hiew, Camillo Cheng, Julius Ho and Khoo PK looking me up in La Salle. So I took leave from school to bring them around. I remembered Edward Chik and Lawrence Chung were having (Literature which I did not opt for in Form 6) classes. As Sandakan has no railway, I thought all must be thrilled to be able to enjoy a train ride! Somehow, we managed to go to the Kepayan Railway Station and took a railway trip down to Papar. I was familiar with Papar and been there by car (during my years in KK schooling in La Salle) but that was also my first train trip.

Those pictures tell a thousand words and I hope it can bring back memories to those on that memorable trip - at least to me!

Hopefully, this article can trigger some comments from them.


Regards

Kon Sang

Clement,
You bet, here's my comment on why that trip was memorable to you because it was on that train you spotted someone who later on was to become your better half. Come on Clement tell us how you followed up the matter afterwards. Wonder how you did it on your own without the pretence of showing visitors around Papar? All I remember, you and I didn't have the courage to approach the opposite sex (real "square" ones we were; we even needed Victor Ng to take us to tailor make our trendy bell-bottom trousers!).
