Oct 17, 2004 The old Dunearn sports school THEY may have put on more than just a kilogram or two, gained a paunch and lost some hair. A toast to the good old years for (from left) rugby's Neo Ah Swee, teacher and former Olympic sprinter C. Kunalan, rugby's Tay Chun Liang and sprinter Alan Koh at Dunearn's grand reunion last night. -- CHEW SENG KIM Even their alma mater is no more, Dunearn Secondary Technical having been renamed Greenridge Secondary in 1992 and its Bukit Timah campus taken over by National Junior College. But its spirit lives on as proven by the more than 200 former teachers and students who packed the Vanda Room at the Singapore Polytechnic yesterday for the school's first grand reunion. Dunearn's demise is a loss to Singapore sport, for its alumni includes South-east Asian Peninsular Games athletes like Serjit Singh and Kok Peng Mun (athletics), Frank Kwok and Tay Chu Liang (rugby), Tohar Hairi (cycling) and South-east Asia Games sprinters Llyas Bugal and Alan Koh. Along with Kwok, Neo Ah Swee was a member of the national rugby team that won the 1978 Team of the Year award for finishing third in the Asia Cup and winning the MRU Cup, shocking powerhouses New Zealand en route. Even current champion jockey Saimee Jumaat once sat in Dunearn's classrooms. Dunearn was perhaps blessed with keen, sports-loving teachers like former Olympic sprinter C. Kunalan, owner of the 100 metres sprint record for 33 years. He formed a unique Dunearn quartet at the 1973 Singapore Seap Games with Serjit, Kok and Tohar. Said Kunalan, who taught at the school from 1967 to 1980 and helped it win two overall track and field titles at the schools national championships: 'The students just loved sports. Even though we did not have a track or a proper field, we used the 103 steps that led to the school for training. 'You could say after climbing those stairs every day, almost everyone was fit.' -- Marc Lim
