History

[edit]

Before the opening of the school

[edit]

The school was first brought out by the board of directors of SJK(C) Puay Chai to build another school, they did so by applying to the Ministry of Education on September 13, 1994.[1] The plan to build another school was eventually approved by the then Minister of Education, Dato' Sri Najib Razak on September 20th 1999.[2] After the Ministry of Education found a suitable place for the school, they approved the construction of four three-storey school buildings built on a six-acre land in Bandar Utama BU3 with the construction cost being around RM3.2 million. The board of directors from SJK(C) Puay Chai allocated 10,000 Ringgit of funds for the school and placed the then vice principle, Ms Tang Gui Lan as the first principle of SJK(C) Puay Chai 2.[1]

The opening of the school

[edit]

The school officially opened on January 3rd 2001. On the same day they also shared the school, SJK(C) Damansara after it had moved from its location to move to its current location.[3] On September 19th 2001, SJK(C) Damansara had officially moved out due to their new campus being built finish.[1]

2013-2024(Present)

[edit]

A few years after the school had first opened, the place started to get crowded. So, the board of directors and PTA demolished the canteen to build a three-story auditorium and administrative building on the original site, and convert the old offices, teachers' lounge and library into classrooms. In 2013, the three-story auditorium and administrative building were complete. In 2014, the school began plans to build a well-equipped gymnasium. On March 3rd 2015, the school gained the title "Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan". On 2018, the gymnasium was finished by Principle Peng Lizhen and Principal Soh Swee Koon. In 2021, the school was included in the "Program Transformasi Sekolah" (TS25).[1]
