Sekolah Menengah Vokasional Batu Lanchang, Penang (9 September 2012)


Batu Lanchang Vocational Secondary School (GPS: 5.40007, 100.29816), or Kolej Vokasional Batu Lanchang is a vocational school in the Batu Lanchang area of Penang. Located along Batu Lanchang Lane, it was founded in 1931 as the Government Trade Centre.

The Second World War disrupted the running of the Government Trade School from 1942 to 1946, when it reopened as the Junior Trade School. In 1958, following Independence, the school was renamed Sekolah Menengah Pertukangan. Ten years later, it was renamed Sekolah Menengah Vokasional Batu Lanchang.

Between 1997 and 2009, the school was called Kolej Vokasional Batu Lanchang. It reverted to the name Sekolah Menengah Vokasional Batu Lanchang since then.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
