Wesley Methodist School Klang

Wesley Methodist School Klang (6 July, 2016)


Wesley Methodist School Klang (GPS: 3.04193, 101.44517) is a private school in Klang, Selangor. Located on Jalan Dato Hamzah, it traces its beginnings to the efforts of Methodist missionaries Mrs D.L. Gulland and Mrs G.S. Arumugam, who founded it as the Methodist Girls Continuation School in 1949, in the aftermath of the Second World War. The war has disrupted education for many children of school going age, so the school was set up specially to cater to the education of girls who were over the school-going age.

From its founding in 1949, Wesley Methodist School Klang had undergoing a few name changes. It was named Eklund Methodist Girls School in 1958, in honour of education pioneers, Reverend & Mrs Abel Eklund. The school was renamed once more, to Methodist Institute, in 1974, and to Methodist High School in 1980, when it became co-educational. It was given its present name in 2009, and is often shortened to WMS Klang.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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