INSPIRED by Penang Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak’s keen interest in astronomy, his alma mater Bukit Mertajam High School (HSBM) plans to build an astronomical observatory for students and the community.

The centre, estimated to cost around RM250,000, will house the latest optical equipment and tools for astronomical studies, including telescope systems and a classroom space where students can explore not just the solar system but also galaxies far away.
