Last year, the Methodist Girls’ School Primary 1 (MGS 1) in Malacca wanted to restore its dilapidated 1933 Bickley Hall. The Parents Teachers Association (PTA) managed to raise RM50,000 from a charity dinner while Chief Minister Datuk Ali Rustam gave RM30,000 from the CM’s department.
Before the restoration could be carried out, the timber roof of one of the classrooms in the Methodist Girls’ School Primary 1 (MGS 1) collapsed in August last year. Fortunately, the incident happened at 4am and no one was hurt, said Rev Ting Moy Hong, the chairman of the school’s board of governors.
