Today marked a historic day in the life of a teacher, Mr Pang Seng Chong, who after giving his best and all for 36 years, serving faithfully in SMK Kuala Krai, finally clocked out at 2.05 pm.
Mr Pang started teaching Mathematics in SMK Kuala Krai in 1974 (then was known as SMR Kuala Krai) and faithfully continued for 36 years until he retired today, 23 Aug 2010. 36 years in only one school is a tremendous feat, which I believe can be matched by only a few. Scores of his students had gone through his hands and a number of them later returned to be his colleagues in the same school.
A simple, unassuming and a man of few words, he was ever ready to guide any of his students, including some teachers who needed his service. A teacher who is no doubt an expert in his field of Mathematics, and overlooked as a GC and other promotion prospects, however held no grudge or complains. Such was his character that all he wanted was to teach and he continued to teach until before he clocked out.
It is noteworthy to mention that at least before his retirement he managed to secure his DG48 this year giving him a slightly better pension. Three cheers to a super teacher who now deserved a good rest before he considers his next rendezvous. May God bless his every move now and forever more.
