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.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
