GEORGE TOWN: This is no April Fools’ joke: both SMK Convent Pulau Tikus (CPT) and SMK Convent Light Street (CLS) are closing down for good.

The secondary schools will be the first to be returned to religious order Infant Jesus (IJS), which is believed to have plans to turn them into a private school and a higher education institution.
