SMJK Nan Hwa (GPS: 4.20333, 100.69917) is a national-type secondary school in Sitiawan, Perak. It is located on Jalan Lin Chen Mei. The school traces its roots back to 24 November, 19351, when Uj Dih Primary School merged with Chinese national Chung Cheng and Min Tee, to form the Nan Hwa High School.
The first school year began on 11 January, 1936, with an initial intake of 100 students. Classes where held at the home of Father Lee Kor Ting in Kampung Koh. A donation drive enabled the school to purchase a piece of land two blocks were built and completed in 1939. By then, the enrolment has increased to 300 students. The Second World War forced the school to close from 1942 until 1945. It reopened on 28 January, 1946, with the ending of the war.
With the implementation of the Education Act 1961, Nan Hwa High School became a government aided school. The following year, it was divided into two, namely SMJK Nan Hwa and Sekolah Tinggi Nan Hwa.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
