About 30 cohorts from the Class of 59/61 caught up with Datuk (Dr) M Jegathesan and his wife Lee Hong when they were in Singapore recently to attend the National University of Singapore’s 100th Anniversary Celebrations, and also the 117th International Olympic Committee Session to select the host for the 2012 Olympics.

Popularly known as the region’s “flying doctor” and the “fastest man in Asia” during his heyday, Jega holds the honour of being the first Malaysian to reach the semi-final stage of an Olympic event at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and again at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Jega also excelled academically and was a Seow Poh Leng medallist when he topped the Class of 59 together with John Lui.
