SK Sri Dhandayuthapani, Kuala Lumpur

SK Sri Dhandayuthapani (GPS: 3.17597, 101.68786) is a primary school at Batu 2½ Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah (Jalan Ipoh) in Kuala Lumpur. The school was established in 1963 by the Chettiar Association Foundation with part funding from the government. It was built on land belonging to the Chettiar association.

The initial idea was to set up a Tamil school, but the move was rejected by the government, so instead the school was named the Ipoh Road English School. It was not long before the school had a name change, to Chettiar School. However the name was rejected by the government on the basis that the name of an ethnic group cannot be used for a school. For that reason, the school was renamed again, to Sri Thandayuthapani English School, after one of the Hindu deities. Before long, the name changed one more time, to Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Dhandayuthapani, or SKSD, and remains as such to this day.
