The Prince, Laureates and the Art Connoisseurs

We were lucky to meet the above recently. DYTM Raja Muda Perak Darul Ridzuan,

Raja Dr Nazrin Shah, graced the inaugural launch of the RA Fine Arts gallery

at Jalan Aman KL recently on Saturday 30th June 2007.
The gallery owner, Raja Ahmad Aminullah is from MCKK Class of 72,

and thus invited a few of us ex-MCKK Art Club members.
(The obvious absentee was of course our ex-Art Teacher, Tuan Syed Bakar.)

  
   
   
   
   
  

Playing defacto host-cum-emcee was our Suhaimi Sulaiman from Class of 79.

Latt Shariman c85, the newly appointed Government Political Secretary,
was also present to meet his cousin, the recently wedded
Raja Puan Besar Perak Darul Ridzuan, Zara Davidson.

   
   
   

The Speaker of Dewan Rakyat YAB Tan Sri Dato' Seri Diraja Ramli Ngah Talib

and MAS Chairman, Dato' Dr Munir Majid attended along with the 2 national laureates,

Dato' Syed Ahmad Jamal, the Art Laureate and Datuk A Samad Said, the Poet Laureate.

Dr Choong Kam Kow, my ex-Art Lecturer at UiTM was also present and as were a few of

my colleagues.

College alumni, ex-teachers show their creative  talents 

KUALA LUMPUR: Various expressions of art, featuring

the creative works of some of those who have studied or

taught at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) will be

exhibited at the RA Fine Arts gallery from today to Jan 7.
 
The exhibition entitled "From Kuala Kangsar To ...." will be showcasing

paintings, photography, literature and writings by the alumni and former

teachers of the school.

The gallery's director, Raja Ahmad Aminullah, said the exhibition was to

showcase the pool of creative talent that is usually not associated with

MCKK alumni.

While people are aware of the contributions of the alumni in the fields of

academia, business, administration and other professions, little is heard

about their involvement in artistic and creative fields, he added.

Among the artworks featured are pieces by Yang di-Pertuan Besar of

Negri Sembilan Tuanku Jaafar Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman,

Datuk Mahsun Taib, Hishamuddin Rais and others.

Pieces of interest include a collection of MCKK neckties from various periods

of the school's history and a kris sheath, which was carved by old boy

Datuk Mustapha Mahmud.

Various books written by the alumni and former teachers of MCKK will also

be on display. Among them are writings by national laureates

Ishak Muhammad (Pak Sako) and Muhammad Salleh.
 
The exhibition, at the gallery in Jalan Aman, is open six days a week from 10am to 6pm.
