KTAR Passageway

This is a view from the side entrance of Tunku Abdul Rahman College, my alma mater. It is often known as TARC or KTAR. The college is located at Jalan Genting Kelang, Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. It was established on 24 Feb 1969 and named after Malaysia's first Prime Minister, the late YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj.

From here, you can see at least 2 passageways, one that leads to the tutorial blocks and reading room and another that leads to the basketball courts and football field. Students are under a lot of pressure to perform well at the examinations. They should also take time off to 'play', relax and have fun.

This college has churned out many succcessful students who went on to become great entrepreneurs, CEOs and statesmen. When I look at this photo, nothing much has change. It never fail to bring back fond memories of my happy student days as a Tarcian at Taman Bunga Raya. Like the group of youngsters here in the picture, I was also a student of TARC more than 20 years ago. To all the Tarcians who happen to see this post, I wish you "All the very best in your studies, don't let go of your dreams and may you be as successful as you want to be!"

Today is City Daily Photo theme day for March 2010. The theme is "Passageways".

This is the college logo built onto the railings of the fencing surrounding the perimeter of the college. The motto is "Quality and Affordable Education."
