We are in the final stage to confirm our venue of the re-union... at the Grand Dorsett Hotel, Labuan (formerly Sheraton Hotel) and we are negotiating for a better price of the buffet dinner.
It is going to be much lower than RM100.

This dinner is not limited to the 5th formers of 1972 but to all fellow students of GES Labuan.
