Kunaratnam Reginald Navaratnam (1903 - 1981) studied at the old V.I. in High Street under the first headmaster, Mr. B. E Shaw. He also played football at school. Legend has it that he was well liked by Mr. Shaw so much so that he was referred to as Shaw Navaratnam while in school! Kunaratnam was a Financial Assistant at the Public Works Department and the Malaysian Armed Forces.

Kunaratnam's son is none other the illustrious Tan Sri Ramon Veerasingam Navaratnam (born 1935), who joined the V.I. in 1950 from St Georges School in Taiping. He represented the school in debates and quizzes. He is remembered for his role as Maria in the school's Shakespearean production Twelfth Night at the Town Hall. To commemorate the 1954 Diamond Jubilee of the opening of the school, Tan Sri Ramon was editor of The Selangor Echo, a fictitious K.L. newspaper purportedly printed in 1894 that reported on events in that year. Its front page headline blared out "Victoria Institution Opens".

Tan Sri Ramon left the V.I. in 1954 after his Post School Certificate. He graduated with a B.A. (Econs) from the University of Malaya (Singapore) 1959. He read for a Diploma in Public Administration course in 1963 and was awarded a Masters in Public Admiistration from Harvard in 1969.

Tan Sri Ramon has held many positions in the Malaysian Civil Service and the Treasury, including Deputy Secretary-General of the Ministry of Finance, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Transport. He was a member of the National Development Planning Committee. In the private sector he was, among many positions, CEO of Bank Buruh, Vice-Chairman of the Malaysian Business Council, Deputy President, Institute of Management Consultants, Corporate Advisor of the Sunway Group, Director of the Asian Strategic and Leadership Institute, and former President of Transparency International Malaysia. He was also Alternate Executive Director of the World Bank in Washington. Tan Sri Ramon has also authored several books on Malaysian economic developmemt.

Tan Sri Ramon's three sons, Ravi, Nahendran and Dharm were also Victorians. The youngest, Dharm Navaratnam, attended the V.I. from 1980 to 1984. He served on the Victorian Editorial Board for two years, while in Forms 4 and 5. He represented Rodger House in swimming, hockey and water polo. Active also in clubs and societies, Dharm was a member of the Life Saving Society and the Interact Club. He served as a committee member of the Cultural Union and the V.I. Computer Club. Dharm studied at Chisholm Institute of Technology (now Monash University) in Melbourne from 1986 to 1989. He played hockey and swam for his University and was also Vice-President of the University Student Union.

Dharm is still active in the school where he has been a member of the VIOBA Management Committee (2014 - 2017) and also assists in coaching the School Hockey Team.

Dharm worked as an engineer at Malaysia Airlines, General Electric Aircraft Engines, Maxis and Time DotCom. He is now retired and does some consultancy/advising.

Michael Anil Navaratnam, son of Dharm, was a Victorian (2014 - 2018). It was the long history that his forefathers had had with the school that motivated Michael to apply to the Victoria Institution. He is the very first Fourth Generation Victorian that we have on record in the school! Following the example of his three generations of forebears, Michael played the drums in the School Band and was an NCO. He represented the school in Hockey for five years and was also active in Clubs and Societies. He was also the very first Navaratnam to be a School Prefect!

Michael is at present in his third year of Bio-Engineering studies at Sheffield University, in the UK.
