My Long-Lost Friend, Mohan


In 1998, I was transferred to Marsiling Primary School, and during that period, I had the privilege of making a cherished friendship with Mohanansundram s/o Vengalastevi, commonly known as Mohan. Our bond was formed not just by shared geographical origins in Johor, but also by our daily commutes to school, navigating the Causeway to avoid the morning congestion. 


Mohan quickly became my best friend. We often journeyed home together, and on occasions, I accompanied him to Woodlands Swimming Complex, where my father was employed. It was during these moments that our friendship strengthened.


Mohan's academic prowess shone brightly, as he consistently ranked among the top students in our Class 4E. What set him apart, however, was his willingness to help classmates struggling with their studies. I was fortunate to benefit from his kindness, as he patiently stayed back after school to revise lessons with me, ensuring I grasped the material thoroughly. 


Regrettably, after a year, Mohan's family made the decision to transfer him to Swiss Cottage Primary School. Since then, we lost contact, and despite my efforts, I have been unable to locate him.


I am reaching out to anyone reading this blog who is aware of Mohan's whereabouts, to help facilitate our reunion.
