SRJK (C) Uk Dih, Sitiawan

SRJK (C) Uk Dih (GPS: 4.18698, 100.70406) is a Chinese national-type primary school in Sitiawan, Perak. It holds the distinction of being the first and oldest Chinese school in the Manjung District, or the Dindings. The school was established by the Fuzhou refugees who fled China in the early 20th century following upheavals brought on by the Boxer Rebellion. They resettled in Koh Village, or Kampung Koh, and from there, started a school for the education of their children.

Uk Dih School began as a primary school, but in 1933, it also founded a secondary school, so that pupils could continue their studies into secondary level. This was however shortlived, and in 1936, the Uk Dih Secondary School merged with Kuok Ming School, Chung Cheng School and Min Te School to form the Nan Hwa High School, precursor of present-day SMJK Nan Hwa.

Uk Dih School continued to focus on imparting primary education. With increase in its pupils, the school embarked on an expansion plan in 1941, but this was interrupted by the Second World War. The half-completed building was demolished by the Japanese troops. The school was in recess until the war was over, and classes resumed thereafter.

Uk Dih School became a government aided school in 1957. Its parents-teachers association (PTA) was founded in 1974. The school PTA proposed the establishment of a building fund to build the school hall

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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