For People and Country. Majulah!
That’s the tile of an e-book released in September by MOE’s Physical Education and Sports Teacher Academy (Pesta) as Singapore marks 60 years of independence.
Fittingly, the book is made up of 60 stories contributed by 60 teachers from across the PE fraternity.
“They are all unique and inspirational,” says Mr Hanif Abdul Rahman, Principal Master Teacher at Pesta and editor of the book on how he would describe the stories within.
If he had to choose his favourite stories, which would they be?
“If I really have to zoom in on something, it has to be the stories where the authors fondly talk about the influence of their own PE teachers or sports coaches when they were students, or the influence of their colleagues on them when they are now PE teachers.”
