St John's Institution (GPS: 3.151, 101.70019), nowadays known as Sekolah Menengah St John, is one of the premier schools in Kuala Lumpur. Established on 18 January, 1904, it is also one of the oldest schools in the city.

The school sits on a large tract of land owned by the Roman Catholic Church which extends on both sides of Bukit Nanas, and includes the St John's Cathedral and subsidiary organisations.

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.
