Don’t let economic progress kill our heritage


REFERRING to the articles “Schooled in sentiment” (Sunday Star, April 25) by Wong Chun Wai and “When a building is not just a building” (The Star, April 27) by Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi, I am greatly relieved that Convent Bukit Nanas (CBN) is now safe for another 60 years.

Unfortunately, my old school, Bukit Bintang Girls School (BBGS), could not escape the axe. All the appeals from my headmistress (the late Ms Elena Cooke) fell on deaf ears. On top of that, the name was also changed. Nowadays, most people do not even know BBGS existed. But to the old girls, BBGS lives on in our hearts forever.
