THE FORGOTTEN PAST OF KAJANG HIGH SCHOOL.

                       LEST WE FORGET .........,,,,,,,

                 THE KAJANG HIGH SCHOOL O B A ( OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION )

           The Kajang High School  was re-opened on 27 Sept 1945 and World War 2 had ended.The OBA was formed a few years later.Unfortunately it remained dormant  and inactive  for any number of reasons.Nevertheless several concerned OLD BOYS  initiated its revival and  convened  a General Meeting in the School Hall  on 16 Sept 1951. THE HON'BLE INCHE ABDUL AZIZ MAJID MCS ,then the Acting Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan was re-elected President of The Kajang High School OBA at the Meeting.

           Delivering his post-election presidential speech ,Inche Abdul Aziz pleaded for commitment and active involvement to avoid the OBA from beeing dysfunctional again.He said :

           " Let me tell you that we the Old Boys are now a formidable group.We can count among us men of letters.men of science and men of action prepared and capable to lead.Therefore,if all the doctors,lawyers and pundits amongst us would put their shoulders to the wheel,there is nothing humanly possible in this world which we cannot as a group accomplish.It is in this spirit thai I  appeal to you all now. I know too that most of us are very  busy men torn with  cares and responsibilities but let us  amidst this day-to-day turmoil subscibe a tiny portion of our interests and resources to the great cause of the Association.I am sure the result would e phenomenal !  "
