In a book called "People of the Mist" by Sir Henry Rider Haggard, in the first chapter was the passage, "To his right were two stately gates of iron fantastically wrought, supported by stone pillars on whose summit stood griffins of black marble embracing coats of arms and banners inscribed with the device 'Per Ardua ad Astra'"
The RAF took it from there and this is their Badge:
We are talking here about How it was at Sultan Ismail College Kota Bharu, Kelantan known as SIC. How did we get the motto Per ardua Ad Astra. I guess one of the old headmasters must have served in the Royal Air Force, for that is where it came from. It means through Adversity to the Stars and is supposed to inspire success through hard work.

Whatever happened to Mustafa Saad. He would have graduated from class of 59 had he not got himself to RMC
for the Fourth Form.
Arzed
I will ask Nimoza, He should know
Mus as he is known now is residing somewhere in UK, most probably in London. He likes the UK weather, so it seems. But then he might like something else about UK that makes him want to stay there. Probably the UK people and the atmosphere. Lets hope he reads this and give his comments himself.
He has'nt called in yet, so far. Mus
I mean.
