  1. Great job guys! Well done on taking the initiative to keep the gunners spirit alive and for us ex-gunners to have a forum in which we can keep in touch with each other and also for airing of views about things in general. This persatuan thingy has been done many times in the past with minimal results. I am sure this time, it will be a success.
    As a start, it would be good if we could have some instructions on how we can go about joining ie who and how do we pay our entrance fee and annual subscription. Any documents to fill it etc.

    Well done again and you can count on my lifelong support!

  9. Saya terdengar satu istilah baru didalam Bahasa Malaysia semasa Sasterawan Negara Datuk A. Samad Said mendeklamasikan sajaknya diacara Deklamasi Sajak Utusan Malaysia diLaman Istana Budaya bulan lalu, iaitu: CAKARUKIN

    Cara menyebutnya pelik sedikit dimana 'CAK' dibaca sebanyak dua harakat dan 'K' bersabdu dan diidghamkan. 'RU' dan 'KIN' pula dibaca satu harakat sahaja tiap-tiap satu.

    Maknanya ialah: CAKAP TAK SERUPA BIKIN

    Mungkin juga istilah ini akan diterima oleh Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka tidak lama lagi untuk digunapakai secara umum.

  10. Gentlemen,

    Remember, the Artillery Day Anniversary at Gemas will be on in less than two weeks from today. Those who are invited and have yet to reply, please do so immediately.

    It is most regrettable because I may not be there as I have an assignment overseas.

    Please send my regards and 'salams' to all.

  13. Dear Ganeson,

    I bumped into Lt Col Campbell (RAA - infantry), who has been in Butterworth the last two years and is about to leave for his new posting at the Australian Staff College, Canberra as a Directing Staff, in JB last Tuesday and was sad to be informed by him that The School of Artillery in North Head, Manly, NSW is no longer there and the place has been taken over by some other Australian government department already.
