1st Kulai Company began in 1957. 4 persons are our co-founders. Mr. Swanston, Mr. A.S. Muthiah, Late Miss Richards & the late Miss Lovell. A very special guest was one of our co-founders, now Rev. A.S. Muthiah. He shared stories from the early days especially of a grand 1st Merdeka celebration that was held at Kulai grounds in late '57 or early '59. Of course 1st Kulai was present at this important ceremony where the late Tun Sambathan who represented the Tunku and the federal government. Mr. Swanston was interviewed and an audio recording is available at our website.
On the night of 3rd March 2007, a grand celebration was held at Foon Yew High School Hall in Kulai. About 550 people turned up. Indeed this celebration was made all the more meaningful by the presence of each and everyone especially our 'old' boys - the alumni of 1st Kulai company. We had representation from our sister companies nearby and of course Boys Brigade Malaysia. These lent a spirit of comradeship to the evening.
The evening was also used to raise funds for 1st Kulai especially for the band. Our band has the distinction of being the only brass band in Kulai District. Funds were raised through the usual sale of tables, souvenirs, & personal donations. An additional element of fun & fund raising was when paintings by one of our officers, WO Tan Wee Ling were auctioned off. It was very interesting when bids came fast and furious as people tried to outdo one another. 10 paintings were auctioned and the winners were not only those who were successful in their bid but also 1st Ku1ai.
Apart from the co-founder, Rev. A.S. Muthiah, the government was also represented by Mr. Tan Nai Soon personal aide to YB Datuk Lim Si Cheng. We are grateful for Mr Tan presence as he congratulated us on our 50th Anniversary and encouraged us with a
grant from YB Datuk Lim.
The evening was indeed a night to remember as it birthed the 1st Kulai Alumni network. Arising out of this we have our very own website and blog at http://1stkulaibb.blogspot.com/ & the blog: http://brigade-alumni.kulai.com/ . Do log in and check it out.
The Boys Brigade is a valuable ministry that does much to mold the lives of young people. Testimony after testimony proves the positive role that the BB has played in the life of many who are today responsible adults. Discipline & character building are the gifts we offer to young people today in Kulai through the BB.
A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who have supported us in our celebrations by your presence, greetings, gifts & words of encouragement. We must mention the big role played by our big brother, the Boys Brigade of Malaysia who helped us to get back on our feet when we went through difficulties. Praise be to God for each one of you.
