There are concerns that SK Convent Light Street (left) and other IJS schools may face closure.

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government should do everything within its power to preserve the island's three convent schools from being closed down or relocated as they are a part of the country's history.

Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh urged the state government to take the necessary steps to acquire the said land under the Land Acquisition Act 1960 in the event the land owners insisted on taking it back.
