Welcome to The Old Frees' Association

The Old Frees’ Association (OFA), established in 1923, is the alumni association for Penang Free School—the oldest school in Southeast Asia. It serves as a platform for Old Frees to connect, reunite, and engage in recreational, social and sports activities while preserving the school’s proud heritage and fostering lifelong camaraderie among its members.

Dear Fellow Old Frees,

It is both an honour and a privilege to serve as President of the Old Frees’ Association (OFA), an institution with a proud heritage and a promising future. As we reflect on our collective journey and look ahead, my vision for the Association remains rooted in progress — to modernize and digitalize our clubhouse and facilities, creating an inclusive, forward-thinking community space for Frees of all generations.

Over the past year, we’ve made meaningful progress in upgrading our clubhouse, enhancing member facilities, and embracing digital transformation to make the OFA more inclusive and accessible. Looking ahead, our focus remains on improving the member experience, promoting sustainability, and investing in long-term initiatives — including an education-based vision that will strengthen our community and legacy.

At the heart of the OFA lies a spirit of brotherhood, excellence, and service — values that continue to define us. As stewards of this Association, we honour our traditions while embracing innovation to stay relevant for future generations.

I encourage all Old Frees to reconnect with us. Join our activities, update your membership, share your expertise, and help shape our future. Together, we are not just preserving the legacy of Penang Free School — we are writing its next chapter.

Once a Free, Always a Free. Fortis Atque Fidelis.
