Not many schools in the country can boast to be older than Nibong Tebal Methodist School, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year. The school’s fledgling alumni association is putting together a gala dinner at the Olive Tree Hotel in Penang to observe this milestone next month. Old boys Dato Capt David Padman and Dato Dr Amin Kassim share their memories from school, a coffee table book about the school’s storied past, as well as details of the gala dinner.

More information about the gala dinner and the Nibong Tebal Methodist School Alumni Association can be found at www.msnta.com
