| The Penang government should do everything within its power to preserve two convent schools on the island from being closed down or relocated as they are very much a part of the county’s history and pride.
CPT, too, is historically significant, having opened its doors way back in 1929 as an education provider and is a household name in Penang. However, I am of the view that the said schools should remain and continue to operate where they are due to their historical importance and significance, not only to Penang, but to the country.
There is no doubt that this option is open to the state government as it is certainly in the public interest and for public purpose to preserve the said schools as they are iconic structures in the state and will continue to contribute immensely to the cause of education in the state, as they have in the past.
