Mr Balasubramaniam  Kuppusamy      
1992 – 1995 
 ·        
   
Mr Chong Suan Ee was succeeded by Mr Balasubramaniam Kuppusamy PPT, an old boy and famous athlete from our “rival” school, Anglo-Chinese School,Ipoh.

·        Mr Balasubramaniam brought to his new post a great wealth of administrative and teaching experience ,having served at the premier school Malay College,Kuala Kangsar, and at the Teachers Training College, Hulu Kinta.

·        His last post before his posting to St Michael’s was as Principal, SMK Darul Ridzwan,Taiping.

·         Among Mr Balasubramiam’s major moves for SMI was the nurturing of a fresh team of administrators imbued with strong Lasallian roots.

·        Ever the great sports enthusiast that he was, Mr Balasubramaniam  sustained the fund-raising tradition at SMI with his unique personal touch by leading a CYCLETHON from Ipoh to Sungai Siput (U).
  
New Administrative Team

With Mr Balasubramaniam came a brand new administrative team: Pn Aziyah bt Amiruddin as Senior Assistant (Administration), Mr Toh Ah Huat (Senior Assistant, Student Affairs) and En Rauhi bin Mohd
(Afternoon Supervisor). 

The future years saw several Michaelian administrators moving on the higher appointments in the Education Service.  Mr Toh Ah Huat went on to be Principal, SMK Sam Tet,Ipoh, while Tuan Haji Rauhi went on to head  Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Malay College, Kuala Kangsar, before retiring as Director of Education, Perak.Tn Haji Salleh bin Karim (Afternoon Supervisor) went on to become Director of Education, Pulau Pinang. 

With the above team, we also see the arrival of Brother Matthew Bay as Art teacher. His taste for aesthetic symmetry proved a great asset to the school. This architectural genius was destined to play a pivotal role in designing  new facets of the school's infrastructural transformaton.
