Was driving out of the house at 8.15 am today, late as usual (event starts at 8.30am) but it's the earliest I've been awake since Day 0 of Pesta. The rains have just stopped and it was a beautiful morning plenty with silver clouds mixed with shinny rays. Really reminds me of Australia. I was up early to attend 1st Petaling Jaya BB/GB's Enrollment Service. It was a typical service, with Boys being promoted, both organisations taking their enrollment pledge, special item presentations and of of course the marching in and out of the Colours. I was there mainly to show my support.
1st Petaling Jaya was originally formed in 1959 by Mr. Henry Goh, but went through some difficulties through the course of it's existence. It was reorganised in 1983 and today is one of the model Companies in Malaysia. They have two school bases located in SMK (L) Bukit Bintang and SMK (L) La Salle PJ. Today it is under the Captainship of Miss Tan Giok Hui, who was a former GB Officer in Kota Bahru.
It encourages me to see BB and GB doing so well in these churches. Nowadays with youth problems and so many young people being distracted by what the negative influences of the world. Organisations like BB and GB have a part to play, especially in a society which is slowly accepting the "anything goes, this is the new age" mentality. A sense of control and discipline is what is needed among the youth to encourage obedient citizenship.
