GEORGE TOWN: Sisters of Infant Jesus Malaysia, the owner of three convent schools in Penang, has reiterated that they will continue to advocate wholesome education in their mission schools.
Lady Superior of the Society of Saint Maur, Sister Mary Thresa Chua, said there was no intention to sell the land and buildings of these schools.
The Star on June 20 reported state Education Department director Dr Mahanom Mat Sam as saying that the three schools – SK Convent Light Street, SMK Convent Light Street and SMK Convent Pulau Tikus – would be closed down and the land returned to the Sisters of Infant Jesus Malaysia. Meanwhile, Chow speculated that the owners might transform the schools into private or international schools.
