We refer to the letter Malacca bulldozing eco-friendly school .

On Tuesday, April 7, the Malacca State Secretary Omar Kaseh called the owners to settle this dispute at a meeting.

The final agreement was that the mayor promised that Malacca City Hall (MBMB) will not build the road for now and will also allow the school authorities to keep the reserve land under a Temporary Occupation Licence (TOL) until further notice.

The application for the TOL process has already been submitted to the Land Office.

For their help in highlighting and resolving this long standing issue we, the school management, staff, students and parents wish to thank

  • Mohd. Sidek Haji Hassan, Chief Secretary to the Government,

  • Omar Kaseh, Melaka State Secretary,

  • Yusof Jantan, the Mayor of MBMB,

  • the Consumers Association of Penang; and the

  • the media

    • We will celebrate our 16 th anniversary on May16 being Teachers Day which will also be our first Sports Day on this field.

    We have also been getting many students from neighbouring schools and overseas teachers to learn of our concept to introduce in their schools.

    We hope to have this as a ‘service’ to teach the young on sustainable living.

    I genuinely thank all for the help they have extended to our school. It is very important for every individual to do his/her share to save the world from issues of ‘Global Warming’.
