Chinese school is tops with other races

Language is no barrier: The multiracial pupils listening to the headmaster delivering her speech in Mandarin during the morning assembly.

KAJANG: It’s highly likely that those unfamiliar with the century-old SJKC Ton Fah here will notice it when they drive through Beranang, a small town along the Seremban-Kuala Lumpur trunk road.

The school, located on a 1.1ha plot of land, metres away from the Negri Sembilan border, may be inconspicuous but it stands out in its own way – 90% of its 160 pupils are non-Chinese.
