Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Yuk Chai or more commonly known as SJK (C) Yuk Chai (Chinese: 育才国民型华文小学校）is a Chinese-type national primary school located in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.[1]
History
[edit]From 1939 to 1945
[edit]In 1939, the school was founded in a temple located in Setapak.[1][2] From 1942 to 1945, SJKC Yuk Chai closed due to the Japanese invading Malaya or known as The Malayan Campaign. After the war, Chen Hua, one of the founders and that time current chairman, rebuilt Yuk Chai from the ground up.
From 1945 to 1970
[edit]In 1954, Yuk Chai had to relocate after the area was reclaimed and given to a mining company, this was Yuk Chai's first ever move. During that time they had about 120 students.[2] On 1957, after Malaysia gained independence, SJKC Yuk Chai became officially a government-subsidized school. In 1964, Chen Hua officially retired, giving his position to Lu Zhuorong.
From 1970 to 1979
[edit]In 1970, Yuk Chai experienced another relocation after the government wanted to improve the appearance of the city. Yuk Chai relocated to now-called Kampung Chempaka.[1][2] Due to economic problems, Lu Zhuorong led the villagers to use the old building materials from the old school[2] to build six classrooms, the office and the principal's office were built on the open space at the Kampung Chempaka Community Hall. Male and female toilets were built after gaining funding from the education ministry.
From 1979 to 1991
[edit]In 1981, with the help from the board of directors, PTAs, alumnis and members of Yuk Chai, they successfully relocated to their current location and started a massive reconstruction project, this their third time relocating to the now-called Taman Megah.[1][2] They built a three-story building with 15 classrooms and a canteen during August.[2] The standard 4-6 students attend the newly built classes while standard 1-3 students stayed at the old school.[2] From 1982 to 1983, the number of students increased dramatically and the school once again launched fundraising campaigns to provide funds for the school. From 1984 to 1988, Yuk Chai built another building, accommodating 18 classrooms, with this from standard one to six are now in one school.[1][2] Four temporary classrooms were created as the number of students grew,[2] they had about 1500 students by then. In 1989, the school officially completed their newly built hall that cost RM600,000.[1][2] In 1991, due to the sudden boom in housing around the area, the board of directors launched several donation campaigns, so that a new administration block would be built and more classrooms would be available.
From 1991 to 2014
[edit]In 1992, the brand new administration block would be open and include a library, administration office, staff room and a resource center.[1][2] By 1993, the number of students were around 2240, with this number of students some classes even had to teach near the school's field due to the space of the classroom being too small, thus the Ministry of Education donated enough funds to build another building.[2] In 1993, the building opened.[2] In 1997, the school's science block officially opened.[1][2] On 24 April, 1999, the school added digital boards for their classrooms in a project named "Smart School Project".[1][2] By 2000, after several developments near the area, the number of students had grown to about 3200 students, the space was once again not enough, and thus the Ministry of Education once again donated $1million to build another block including eight classrooms with one science lab and in the same year the building opened.[2] In 2001, the school had fully implemented a computerized system for the staff resource center, administration and library. In 2006, the school extended both Block B and C to include more classrooms and the administration block was once again upgraded.[1] In 2011, the school upgraded the hall to include air-conditioning and built a four-floor activity hall. In 2012, the school built a new basketball court and improved the beauty of the school's garden.
From 2014 to Present(2024)
[edit]In 2015, the school improved Block A's roof. In 2019, the school celebrated its 80th Anniversary by opening a carnival that lasted from September 28 to 29 called "Yuk Chai Fun & Learn Carnival".[1] In 2020, Yuk Chai ran an online talent show called "Yuk Chai's Got Talent Online".[3] In 2023, a fundraising talent show dinner happened from 15 November which included many of the school's activities.[4][5][6]
List of headmasters, PTA, chairman LPS and founders
[edit]Note*: Most of the PTA, chairman and headmasters and all of the founders are directly translated from their Chinese names into an English name due to the lack of evidence of their English names, so the most accurate representation for a name is their Chinese name. Most English names which are confirmed are people near the 2000s and above and even with that some names might not be known due to the lack of them putting English names even in the 2000s.
