I was the only non-Halim with the three Halims
Our very cooperative spousesOn Thursday, 04.06.2009, three of us (Halim Abdullah, Halim @ Ropie and Syed Zain) raided Abdul Halim Mat Ninggal's house in Kuala Kedah. Four of us are the survivours of the Special Malay Class 1956 at the Sultan Abdul Hamid College Primary School, Alor Setar. Coincidently, I was the only non-Halim with the three Halims. Halim Mat Ninggal was from Tunjang, Kubang Pasu, Halim Abdullah was from Yan while Halim @ Ropie was from Kuala Kedah. Later in the evening, another classmate, Harun Ali came down from Alor Setar to join us. Harun Ali was from Tandop.
Halim Mat Ninggal has suffered a stroke and as such his mobility was very limited. When we joined the Special Malay Class in 1956, Halim Mat Ninggal was the bully of the class as he was the biggest. One of the factors that Halim Mat Ninggal was the biggest size in the class was because we were born in 1946 while Halim Mat Ninggal was born in 1944. In the football field, Halim Mat Ninggal used to rule the field as there were not many players who dared to face his brutal reactions. Although he has suffered a stroke, yet Halim Mat Ninggal's memory was excellent as he could relate the 1956 episodes which we ourselves could not remember.
