BEING a convent girl (in the 1960s and 1970s) and author of the book Lessons From My School: The Journey Of The French Nuns And Their Convent Schools, I believe I am more qualified to speak about convent schools than most in the generations who attended the schools after they were nationalised.
I am of the Buddhist faith; I spent eight years researching and writing my book on the history of the Catholic Infant Jesus Sisters (IJS) and their convent schools in Malaysia, which includes my alma mater, St Anne’s Convent School Kulim in Kedah.
