DHS again!

PM Lee said this when he attended Dunman's 50th Anniversary Dinner on Sat:

"Mr Lee praised Dunman's tradition of excellence, noting that it is 'the school of choice' for students who want a well-rounded education with solid grounding in Chinese language and culture.

He also paid tribute to its graduates, observing that they are in high demand because they are well-educated, bilingual, creative, confident, passionate and have a more cosmopolitan outlook."

ST Interactive, PM Lee Pays Tribute to Dunman High

I'm taking that as a compliment :D

And they 'unveiled the Dunman High Orchid' which is 'purplish'. Dunman High Orchid! Haha I am looking forward to see how it looks man.

Next year DHS will be moving to Ghim Moh (old RJ) temporarily, so I can go back much more easily since I will be working in Biopolis in summer :) But then again, they will be modifying the Tanjong Rhu campus quite a bit...

And lastly:

Fellow alumnus, bank officer Ho Man Ho, 26, said of the school in Tanjong Rhu: 'We are a disciplined bunch and the school placed emphasis on trust, honesty, loyalty and bravery. We were taught to share from day one and contribute to the greater good.'

It is not 'trust, honesty, loyalty and bravery' please... It's 'honesty, trustworthiness, moral courage and loyalty'... There is a lot of difference between 'bravery' and 'courage'. Still dare to say you are an alumnus.
