After dinner, Chan Yee Leong drove us in his van to the Royal Selangor Club for the beer session. We would like to thank our Sifu Mr Teoh Eng Hoe who is a Royal Selangor Club member to take us in. After our beer session, Chan Yee Leong drove us to Masjid Jamek Station to take the LRT back to SS14. We all reached home safely at 12 midnight.

The Long Bar is one of the oldest bars in the country at The Royal Selangor Club (the spotted dog). The club history dates back to 1896 as a drinking hole for the British during colonial days. Can you see the dog?

The history of cricket in Malaysia and the Royal Selangor Club (RSC) are intimately connected. It resulted in a spurt of cricket in the Peninsula and more clubs, Police, Malayan Railways, Postal and Kilat entered the fray. Kilat Club was essentially a Malaysian team and won the shield six years in succession from 1962 to 1968 and even the Golden Jubilee competition of the trophy in 1975 and at one point, also fielded Lal Singh (who played for India in their debut Test at Lord’s against England in 1932).
The Royal Selangor Club (the spotted dog). Why it’s called “The Spotted Dog” - The club was nicknamed “The Spotted Dog” as two Dalmatians belonging to the wife of one of the club founders were left to guard the entrance of the club whenever they visited the club. The club is also simply referred to as “The Dog”.
