If one day i were to stumbled upon a genie and given 2 wishes, my 1st wish would be eternal happiness for you and my second wish is that you will never discover who was the one behind the curtain blessing your happiness...
Before i start on this post, allow me to give a short excerpt on this badge...
"The shield, it will be observed, carries the letters V.I. in dark blue on a light blue ground, thus displaying the school colours. The star and crescent and the head of a Seladang will be recognised as symbolic of the State and its people. The key is the Key of Knowledge and the goals, wide and narrow, are the Goals to be won, not only on the football and hockey field, but in the world after school days are over."
Isn't it such a beauty?
Victoria Institution is a premier secondary scholl for boys (and girls for Form 6) and one of the oldest school in Kuala Lumpur. The school is widely known as V.I. and a student of Victoria Institutions bears the name VICTORIAN.
The school was founded by Sultan Abdul Samad, William Hood Treacher, Loke Yew, Thamboosamy Pillai and Yap Kwan Seng on Aug 14, 1893 and over the years it has produced distinctive individuals which made our counrty proud, or prouder. Among the luminaries are the likes of T.Ananda Krishnan, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, Datuk Misbuk Sidek, Foo Kok Keong and even Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei.

Of course if i were to post the "consise" version of this school's history, it might take a few pages for this blog to load, so i'm going to the even "simpler" version...
This school had moved through the time line and created such impact that:
(1) It was enlisted and subsequently named "smart school" and "cluster school" by the Ministry of Education.
(2) Now it's even a tourist attraction of Kuala Lumpur with its new "heritage" status.
(3) Some good folk in POS Malaysia (ex-victorian?) decided that the school needed their own stamp when delivering letters and thus... TADAAAA...
I LOVE POS MALAYSIA!!
Well for starters, we could definitely publicize it that way....
Anyway, if there are anyone who would like to provide any form of constructive feedback / comment, nope, the comments are disabled...
This post is just to notify any Victorians out there, yes, we have our own stamp already, GO BUY IT!!!
and the last but not least...
(4) We have our own shopping mall too.... we build it on a historical plot of land.....
Stole the font getting smaller idea from PY
