SMK Vivekananda, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur

SMK Vivekananda, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur (8 July, 2016)


Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Vivekananda (GPS: 3.1296, 101.68618) is a secondary school in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. It is located on Jalan Rozario, and is also bordered by Jalan Vivekananda and Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad. The name Vivekananda is derived from Tamil, where "vive" is said to mean knowledge, and "kananda" means happiness. However, the school may also have been established by the Vivekananda Ashram next door, which was established as a religious hermitage reverring the teachings of Swami Vivekananda.

Established in 1958, SMK Vivekananda is the oldest school in Brickfields and was originally known as the Vivekananda Tamil Secondary School. The opening was officiated by then Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman. The school is attended by students from the Malay and Indian communities of Brickfields.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
