Click on the links below to go to any of the recent and past posts. This pages are currently being built up and photos for inclusion are welcome. Please give details of photos. We welcome especially photos showing student and activities in the school. As one visitor, Patrick Teoh, has pointed out to me, the site is lacking in personal people items of people still around. We would welcome personal accounts of their days in school. It can be of any event. Based on what we get, we might even start a spin-off. So folks, bring in the .......!

Anyone with photos of SMI or Ipoh prior to 1965? It can be of events, of friends, or scenery. We are looking for photos that capture a time period of Ipoh and SMI. I know that there are many old photos of annual march past that went along Brewster Road. Sports events are of particular interest as they bring dignitaries of that era. If you have scan it and send it here. Please include your name and email so that your contributions can be acknowledged properly.

Thanks and do link/bookmark this page, as we will include more photos and improve the site.

They fell but we shall remember...

In August on the 7th day, in the year 1966, two Michaelians who were police inspectors were ambushed together with their colleagues in Southern Thailand. Inspector Soloman Sammy and Inspector Robert Lee were killed in that ambush. The enemy was the Malayan Communist Party insurgents who were still waging a war against the Malaysian Government at that time.

These two Michaelians were from the parish of St Michael, Ipoh. At their funeral held at the Church, the Asst. Parish priest, Rev. Fr. Jean Ciatti shed tears for the two young men. Fr Ciatti had earlier in their teens trained them as altar servers. Michaelians past and current converged on the church to bid farewell to one of their own.
