On 23 November 2018, we celebrated the retirement of our school principal, Puan Hajah Noraizan bt Mohamed, with a memorable ceremony at Dataran AR-Rahman, SMK Bangsar. (To read her biography, please click here). Also known as “Majlis Sanjungan Budi Tautan Kasih'”, this ceremony was attended by all the academic / non academic staff, and students of SMK Bangsar. Also present were our forever helpful YDP PIBG, Encik Sharudin bin Ahmad, and some of the PIBG members. The ceremony started at around 9.00 a.m. and ended at around 12.00 noon with a farewell lunch sponsored by Puan Hajah Noraizan followed by a grand send-off for our dedicated principal. The photos which I took on that special day (below) clearly depict this special event (in chronological order).
