JOHOR BARU: Salleh Abu Bakar showed that age is just a number after completing an over-700km road ride on his scrambler motorcycle.
The 72-year-old tour guide in Langkawi began his journey from the island to his alma mater Maktab Rendah Sultan Abu Bakar, better known as English College , here.Upon arriving yesterday, he handed over a donation of RM10,500 to his former school, one of the oldest in Johor.“I discussed this with my fellow class of 68 alumni and we raised the funds within a week,” he said when met at EC.
Recalling his school days, Salleh said he was publicly caned in front of other students and teachers for skipping rugby and football training.“Unlike those days, parents or students nowadays will take action against the teachers trying to install discipline,” he added.“When I told my family about it, my wife and three daughters were quite hesitant at first as they were worried about my safety.Salleh said that apart from the heavy traffic, the weather was the biggest challenge along his journey.
“It was hot and humid, and sometimes I encountered heavy rain, but it was a whole new experience,” he added. On his plan in Johor, Salleh said he would spend a few days in Muar to meet his old friends before returning to Langkawi on his bike.Article type: free
