We attended Bandar Hilir English School (BHES), Jalan Chan Koon Cheng, Malacca, from 1968 to 1973 for our primary education.
In those days, pupils would usually move on automatically to Malacca High School (MHS), located just down the same road, for their secondary studies. However, for our cohort, a new directive was introduced – those who had obtained 2As or fewer in the Standard Five assessment would instead be placed in a new school, Sekolah Menengah Air Leleh (SMAL), located in Air Leleh, Malacca.
