SMK Haji Zainul Abidin, Hamilton Road, Penang (9 September 2012)
SMK Haji Zainul Abidin is a secondary school along Hamilton Road, Penang.
SMK Haji Zainul Abidin traces its history to July 1964, when informal classes were started by Mr Lim Chiang Choo and Mr Khoo-Yeoh Gan Hong with students from Westlands Secondary School and Tanjong Secondary School.
The original site of SMK Haji Zainul Abidin was along Scotland Road, on what was a mangosteen plantation. The school was formally began on 11 January 1965, and was originally called the Scotland Road Secondary School. Through 1965, the land was levelled and two blocks of school buildings were built. The school was officially opened by then Chief Minister of Penang, the late Tan Sri Wong Pow Nee, on 10 November, 1967.
Scotland Road Secondary School was renamed the Haji Zainul Abidin Secondary School in 1972, in honour of a local Malay educationist. The school was noted for being the first in Penang to admit visually impaired students through the Blind Students Assimilation Programme which was started in 1982.
The school relocated to its present building along Hamilton Road on 12 September, 2009, after which its former site was taken over by Sekolah Menengah Agama Lelaki Al-Mansoor.

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.
