SFA hosted Dinner for Bro. Visitor. 2010


The St.Francis Association's Old Boys Alumni recently invited the Brother Visitor who was in town for a visit to a hosted Chinese Banquet Dinner at the New World Restaurant in Melaka Raya.
 Though it was a hastily planned event, we were happy to note that 30 of the Old Boys & Former SFI Teachers gave us  their support and attendance during this dinner 


This event is significant because it allows the supporters and seniors within and without the SFI sphere to recognize the new influence that SFA is playing in her aim towards unification of all the support systems for the Alma Mater to be coalesced into one strong gel / unit. Headed by our charismatic president and former SFI headmaster and student Mr. Ong Eng Khiam, this public relations event was eventfully supported and endorsed with the presence of not only the Brother Visitors but also the other Brothers from the Alma Mater !

Kehadiran dan semangat persaudaraan yang telah kami terima daripada para penyunjung dan penyokong di malam itu amat mengharukan memandang ada yang sanggup terbang dari luar negara menghadiri sesi makan malam bersama kami ini. Thank You all for your support !



Saya ditanya beberapa kali kenapa adat dan ethos puak penjajah patut kita turuti sedangkan sebagai anak wawasan dalam gagasan kepulauan melayu kami patut bersyukur dan berterima kasih terhadap gaya dan cara budaya kemalaysiaan kita yang berpunca dari pencapaian bersama kemerdekaan dari penaklukan minda dan budaya barat.

Pada hemah saya, penyokongan cara dan" budaya sokongan" ethos Franciscan tidak bercirikan agama, budaya atau kepercayaan politik tetapi berfungsi sebagai matlamat murni memastikan ciri pembelajaran dan inovasi dari segi wawasan kumpulan Franciscans ini termaktub dalam peribadi kami sebagai pelajar lama sekolah tersebut  dan dalam pemastian cara belajar, penyambungan budaya cemerlang dan keikhlasan sebagai seorang manusia sejagat dunia dapat diteruskan untuk generasi akan datang.

Agenda kami sebagai anak murid lama, murni dan tidak terpesong oleh politik semasa yang bercirikan konsep pemenang mengaut semua keuntungan.

Yang kami pentingkan cuma kepastian yang warga kota Melaka, khasnya budak-budak sekolah yang tak berupaya di St.Francis, diberi satu ikhtibar kehidupan yang dapat memastikan mereka  mencapai kehidupan yang lebih baik  mengikut cara kami pernah di didik ; memandangkan gaya dan cara hidup  kini semakin mencabar.



Hopefully, we remain true and steadfast in our aim to provide a stable place for the future continuation of the Franciscan ethos and Culture as partners within the hallowed halls of St.Francis Instituition,Melaka. (Age Quod Agis).

What is a 'HINDU' ?

In 1995, Chief Justice P. B. Gajendragadkarwas quoted in anIndian Supreme Court ruling:

When we think of the Hindu religion, unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion orcreed. It may broadly be described as away of life and nothing more.

Common Misunderstandings on Hinduism

Vedanta (and all Hinduism) is entirely monistic, believing only in the all-pervading world-soul, Brahman, rather than a personal God

This advaita philosophy is certainly popular, and offers a simple explanation of the many deities. Nonetheless, many theologians have considered God to be a person. He is not merely an anthropomorphic representation, nor are the various deities and murtis simply incarnations or representations of an impersonal Supreme.

Thus Hinduism includes both monism and monotheism. It is misleading to call the Abrahamic religions,"the monotheistic traditions," implying that monotheism is absent from the Eastern traditions. Vedanta includes many monotheistic schools. They may accept the existence of many gods and goddesses, but strongly emphasizes the pre-eminence of the Supreme Deity.
