SMK Cochrane (GPS: 3.1311, 101.72584) is a national secondary school in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. It is located on Jalan Shahbandar, in the neighbourhood of Maluri. The school dates back to 1957, the same year that the country attained independence. Its very first headmaster was Mr Chew Ah Kong, who was previously with the Victoria Institution. In the beginning, it was known as Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Jalan Cochrane.
The sixth headmaster of SMK Jalan Cochrane was Mr Goon Fatt Chee, who wrote the lyrics for the school song. He would later become the headmaster of the Penang Free School from 1974 to 1979.
The school was to be at Jalan Cochrane until 2004, when it relocated to Jalan Shahbandar. With the relocation, it dropped the word "Jalan" from its name, becoming Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Cochrane.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
