Schools are a prized institution deserving our support if we wish to preserve our heritage and culture. Because of rural to urban migration, student enrolment in many rural schools has fallen drastically over the years. When the enrolment numbers become critically low, these schools may have to cease operations eventually. It is therefore necessary to relocate such schools to urban locations with an established population base to better cater to the needs for Chinese education. SJKC Union, Taiping belongs to such a category of schools. Collectively built by the residents in 1952, it was once the pride and glory of the Taiping community. As its student number is now zero (0), it faces the inevitable fate of having to cease operations. To keep SJKC Union alive, the schools board has been looking at possible re-location options over the past 10 years. Thanks to the MCT Group, the school has now secured a parcel of land in Cyberjaya, a bustling township with an estimated 20,000 Chinese population but without any Chinese school. Upon completion, SJKC Union will be an intelligent school with full multi-media facilities capable of accommodating 3,000 students. #cyberjaya #sjkcunion #chineseschool #taiping #euyansang #oneyearoneschool
