“Where’s the school field where we used to do our training?” – that was the first question Arthur Yap, an old boy from the ACS Class of  57/59, asked incredulously when he visited the new ACS Barker Road Campus! 

Obviously impressed with the facilities of the new Campus, Arthur uttered (pardon the pun!) superlatives like ‘fantastic’, ‘first class’ and ‘state-of-the-art’, and with a tinge of envy, "We never had such facilities during our time. The students are very lucky”.  

Arthur, Chairman of the NUS Alumni, British Columbia, was recently in town with his wife Angeline to attend the NUS 100th Anniversary Celebrations. During his short stay in Singapore, Arthur caught up with some of his old school mates and called on Mr Ong Kang Hai and Mr Lee Hah Ing.
