Ex-Montfort Junior School student hopes to reconnect with teachers who changed his life over 30 years ago
Ex-Montfort Junior School student hopes to reconnect with teachers who changed his life over 30 years ago
Some teachers leave a mark that lasts a lifetime.
It's been more than three decades, but one former student has never forgotten his teachers.
A Stomper reached out to Stomp in the hope of reconnecting with three educators who taught him at Montfort Junior School in 1993:
Ms Serena Chow
Mr Mohamed Musa Taub
Mr Nurisham Ismail
"These teachers played a meaningful role in my formative years," he shared. "I've been trying to reach them to express my gratitude and hopefully reconnect after all these years."
Despite trying conventional channels and alumni networks, the Stomper has not been able to locate them.
He believes Stomp's "reach and reputation for meaningful stories that reconnect people and communities" might help track them down or at least spread the word.
If you know any of the teachers mentioned above, or have information that could help the Stomper reconnect with them, please contact Stomp at stomp@sph.com.sg or via WhatsApp at 9384 3761.

Meet the Stomper, GrabFood rider and NParks volunteer who keeps Singapore's parks thriving
Meet the Stomper, GrabFood rider and NParks volunteer who keeps Singapore's parks thriving Have you ever walked through a park and wondered who takes care of these lush green spaces we enjoy every day? Well, National Parks Board volunteers, like Stomper Wencong, play a part in upkeeping the biodiversity in parks around Singapore. Stomper Wencong studied a horticulture course at Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN) Delta Senior School, which sparked his passion for nature. After graduating this year, he realised he wanted to contribute to making Singapore's green spaces more beautiful and started volunteering with NParks. Wencong's volunteer work. PHOTO: STOMP He gave Stomp a run-down of what his role entails: "As a volunteer, I've been involved in landscape maintenance, which includes tasks like pruning plants, clearing leaves, and ensuring the overall aesthetic appeal of the parks. "Horticulture maintenance involves caring for plants, like watering, fertilising and propagating them. I've also been learning about resident gardening, which focuses on creating and maintaining gardens in residential areas." Wencong told Stomp that he works part-time as a GrabFood delivery rider. "Volunteering in landscape maintenance is just a hobby that I started this June. I volunteer for about an hour each week at Woodlands Waterfront Park," he added. Wencong is proud to be able to witness biodiversity thrive as a result of NParks volunteers' hard work. "My favourite part about volunteering is seeing the impact of my work and knowing that I'm helping to create a more beautiful environment for everyone to enjoy. "One memorable moment was when I saw the Asian Weaver Ants thriving in the park after we helped to create a safe habitat for them." Wencong encourages everyone to engage in horticulture activities, as it can improve mental well-being. View more photos in the gallery.

'I'm hungry. Cannot meh?!' — Stranger who snatched toast and walked away from diner at Toast Box asks
Photo: Toast Box FB SINGAPORE: A diner patronising the Toast Box outlet at Jurong Point was left speechless after a stranger snatched food off her tray. The diner told citizen journalism portal Stomp that the incident took place on Sunday afternoon (June 1), around 12:30 p.m. She said, 'This auntie sat at the table next to my family for quite some time. She didn't order anything to eat or drink. Then suddenly, she stood up, stretched her hands across to our table, snatched a piece of our peanut toast, ate it, and walked away!' The diner added, 'We were too shocked to react.' Interestingly, the family bumped into the same woman at the same outlet looking for another target, around the same time the next day. The diner decided to confront the woman and demanded an explanation from the stranger for her behaviour. Instead of apologising or expressing remorse, the woman allegedly shouted, 'I am hungry and I want to eat! Cannot meh?!' The diner urged Singaporeans to beware of such individuals. She added, 'Her hands are so fast! … much faster than crows snatching food!'
