Another product of Penang Free School and a good buddy of mine with a razor sharp mind but with a gentle personality and demanour. Everyone used to be jealous of his crowning glory of hair which looked a splitting image of Paul Glazer a.k.a. Starsky of the 'Starsky and Hutch' fame. Unfortunately,whilst in university it started dropping till he decided to shave it all off (even before Bruce Willis in Die Hard series) and he know looks like and his mannerisms are like one of Karamchand Mohalal Gandhi!
He was born on the southern most tip of Indian subcontinent in a village named Pannakollam (Lake of Money) overlooking into Palk Straits. His father had earlier started a jeweler's store in Penang in the early years of Independent Malaya. The rest of the family joined him later. AK arrived when he was a toddler, I think.
AK and I started studying in Hutchings Primary School and we progressed to Penang Free School.
In PFS, we were quite close. Before Martell started churning out the board game 'Master Mind', AK had already taught our group of friends his own version of this game (we had not given a name yet!) with paper and pen/pencil! He was (and probably is) a maths whiz and could understand concepts very fast. He was in Double Maths class and did economics as well. He had been quite sure all his life that he was going to do Business Administration and that is what he is doing now - Professor in Business Administration in IIU. How did he land in IIU (International Islamic University)? It is because when he had completed Form 6, he was still holding a red I/C which made him ineligible to apply to the public universities which was controlled by UPU which made it compulsory for entrees to hold blue I/C. And IIU was open to all.
Listen and be enlightened......
