What is happening with the MVs?
Melaka trip for Batch 32 Saturday Trainees, Sat 12/1/19 By Chen
Poh Leng 22 of us inclusive of 3 trainers headed down south last
Saturday. Batches 30 (Sep 2017), 32 & one person from 33
attended. Shaukani was our guide. Much of the morning was spent in
the History Museum before we went up the hill for the church ruins.
After that we descended the hill and took a nice pic in front of
Porta De Santiago. After lunch, we walked to Harmony Street and
visited a number of places of worship. As usual, some were
distracted with items sold at the shops along the way. The trip
ended with a bit of free and easy time where some spent more time
at the places of worship and some enjoyed the refreshing and
delicious cendol and shopping. We departed Melaka with good
memories and are thankful for an incident free smooth outing.

Two interesting historical movies are coming soon to our
cinemas.
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi The story of Rani Lakshmibai,
one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and her
resistance to the British Raj. Release date: 25/1/19
The Gandhi Murder The Gandhi Murder is a conspiracy theory
period movie based on true events, that led to the eventual
assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. The movie demonstrates a violent
India, at the backdrop of a non- violent Gandhi, and hard-line
fanatic mind-sets beginning to grow roots in an India divided on
the basis of religion. The feature is a story of three police
officers in different parts of India, who, well aware of the
intelligence that Gandhi's life in under threat, must take key
decisions that would eventually either save the Mahatma, or the
country. Release date: 31/1/19
Many other interesting things to do are listed in our MV blog.
