Port Dickson High School
Port Dickson High School (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tinggi Port Dickson or SMK Tinggi Port Dickson) is a secondary school located in Port Dickson, Malaysia. The school is widely known as STPD. History Education in Port Dickson began before 1910 in a private school. However, there was pressure to open an English school in the city. A group of local residents led by Postmaster Mr Kandiah, appealed to the government to take over the private school owned by Mrs. Edwards, wife of the police chief of Port Dickson. The school was transferred to the fire station's parking lot. A few months later, the school was moved to the site of the current JKR store. In 1919, the school was moved on site Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Port Dickson today. In the initial years, the school only took female teachers. In 1924, the school broke that tradition by appointing Mr. S.P.S Kannu from Kuala Pilah as the Head Master. While Mr S.P.S Kannu was appointed, the number of students in this school ...

Negeri Sembilan
Negeri Sembilan (, Negeri Sembilan Malay: ''Nogoghi Sombilan'', ''Nismilan'') is a state in Malaysia which lies on the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It borders Selangor on the north, Pahang in the east, and Malacca and Johor to the south. The name is believed to derive from the nine (''sembilan'') villages or '' nagari'' in the Minangkabau language (now known as ''luak'') settled by the Minangkabau, a people originally from West Sumatra (in present-day Indonesia). Minangkabau features are still visible today in traditional architecture and the dialect of Malay spoken. Unlike the hereditary monarchs of the other royal Malay states, the ruler of Negeri Sembilan is elected and is known as ''Yang di-Pertuan Besar'' instead of Sultan. The election of the Ruler is also unique. He is elected by the council of Undangs who lead the four biggest territories of Sungai Ujong, Jelebu, Johol, and Rembau, from the legitimate male members of the Pagaruyung Dynasty, with the survi ...

A postmaster is the head of an individual post office, responsible for all postal activities in a specific post office. When a postmaster is responsible for an entire mail distribution organization (usually sponsored by a national government), the title of Postmaster General is commonly used.

Javelin Thrower
The javelin throw is a track and field event where the javelin, a spear about in length, is thrown. The javelin thrower gains momentum by running within a predetermined area. Javelin throwing is an event of both the men's decathlon and the women's heptathlon. History The javelin throw was added to the Ancient Olympic Games as part of the pentathlon in 708 BC. It included two events, one for distance and the other for accuracy in hitting a target. The javelin was thrown with the aid of a thong ('' ankyle'' in Greek) that was wound around the middle of the shaft. Athletes held the javelin by the ''ankyle'', and when they released the shaft, the unwinding of the thong gave the javelin a spiral trajectory. Throwing javelin-like poles into targets was revived in Germany and Sweden in the early 1870s. In Sweden, these poles developed into the modern javelin, and throwing them for distance became a common event there and in Finland in the 1880s. The rules continued to ...
