Jit Sin High gets the green light for branch school
Teoh said the RM30mil building plan was unanimously passed and endorsed in a full council meeting.
THE Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) has given the necessary clearance for the construction of the Jit Sin High School Bukit Mertajam’s branch school in Valdor, south Seberang Prai.
Municipal councillor Teoh Seang Hooi said the RM30mil building plan was unanimously passed and endorsed in a full council meeting at the MPSP headquarters in Bandar Perda, Bukit Mertajam, recently.
“The council’s One-Stop Centre (OSC) had on May 8 given its preliminary approval to the project’s building plan after receiving the application on March 14.
“This was carried out through a fast-track approval that took less than two months to process,” he told reporters after council president Maimunah Mohd Sharif chaired the full council meeting.
He said the project developer could start construction any time as it was given three years to complete the project, noting that in most cases, it could be completed in two years.
Teoh said the school project in Jalan Valdor, would feature five main structures — three four-storey buildings, a five-storey building and an eight-storey building.
“There will be a total of 63 classrooms, 14 science labs, a multipurpose hall, a co-curriculum room, library and administration office.
“There will also be a separate courts for basketball, netball, tennis and handball as well as a football field,” he said.
Teoh said the council would closely monitor the project’s construction work to ensure necessary safety measures were taken to protect those living in the neighbouring area.

Should not open more schools like this….it goes against national integration…. In the UK, there is only one type of school using one syllabus and kids have option to choose their own mother tongue as a subject. Even Singapore has the right sense of not to do this. Please stop and get all the kids back to national schools…..
@Christopher Hill
Opposition will make an issue on this if gov force all go to national skol, even u n me support for it. 董教总 have to close door lo.
@Christopher Hill
Each country has different history background.
Cannot plug n play only.
Based on your two comments, I feel sad for this wonderful land. There is so much beauty but a land cannot prosper if its people are divided
Cool it down people. This is becoming tense, when it is supposed to be a constructive forum. More like political debate here. I assume Christopher Hill is a foreigner and giving his sincere input, from outside the ‘box’. I’m Sekolah Kebangsaan based and I did enjoy the interaction and friendship of other races.
At the moment, Sekolah Kebangsaan is more like a Malay school, as mostly Malays. In some sekolah Kebangsaan, probably 99% are malays, and they never interact with kids from other races. It is probably too late when they only get the chance to integrate post high school. Some of the ‘over’ people are probably from this scenario. The same goes to Chinese school and Indian school.
If I were to vote, I would second just one school, a national school, but with few suggestion for improvement,
1. Medium of interaction is English.
My 2 cents worth. Sincerely for better Malaysia.
I work in MNC. Mastering in English is vital to success, it is sad to see so many interview candidates weren’t able to converse english fluently in interview and is major setback to them.
All reference documents and academic textbooks out there are in English. I walked into the local u library, books are in English too.
At the end of day, one can choose to continue to invest their children time in bahasa or otherwise. Is really up to the individual.
@Gong song
I work in one of the biggest MNC in Penang too. I am
surprised a lot of our engineers need explanation in mandarin in order to
fully understand what our counterpart in US tries to
convey. These engineers usually just say Yes, Yes , Yes and
Smiles and Laugh when angmo counterpart talks to them. But behind the angmo’s back, they will ask around whats going on, haha. Once there were a lower ranking group
leader who kena sound kao kao from an Indian manager in Bangolore for writing an essay like email who no one understand. I guess that guy use google translate.
If Malaysia education system and Sekolah Kebangsaan is doing great, no body will want to send their children to Chinese High school by spending extra few hundreds per month. And the Chinese high school will die by itself.
The problem is, the Chinese High school perform better at international level.
That is how important is English nowadays, invest wisely since their childhood.
@Hemsley
Do you have any data to support your argument ? The importance English
is widely use worldwide for centuries not only now. All research and new
findings are documented in English.
If in the context of education and especially in the subject of Mathematics,
once translated to Mandarin, the “language” of Math’s is not there. The
beauty and the “magic” of Mathematics lie in English.
Did I compare with English?
@Hemsley
“The problem is, the Chinese High school perform better at international level”.
Chinese medium schools perform better at international level, is that correct ?
