A walk down Hill Street

A real challenge: With her perseverance and determination, Yook Chin was able to raise the standards of the Hill Street school and was later asked to helm SMK Convent Kajang.

SHE was the pride of our once-little town where everyone knew each other.

Nicknamed Ah Lek Goo (which in Hakka means “clever girl”), she was one of the 26 children of Chai Loy,a wealthy local merchant.
