Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Ara

Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Ara (6 April 2014)


Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Ara (GPS: 5.32614, 100.27223) is a national primary school in Sungai Ara, Penang. The school is located along Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim, formerly Jalan Sungai Ara.

Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Ara is one of the oldest Malay schools on the southwestern part of Penang Island. It was established in 1883, and was originally called the Relau Malay School. During its first year of operation, the school had three teachers and around one hundred pupils.

In 1927 the Relau Malay School relocated to Sungai Ara to occupy its present premises. The school embarked on a number of expansion programs in 1952 and 1971 to cope with the increase in student intake. The oldest building still standing is Block A, erected in 1971. Due to lack of space, the older buildings had to be demolished.

In 1979, another building - Block B - was built for Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Ara. This was followed by Block C in 1988.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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