Suhakam: Authorities should renew 122-year-old Convent Bukit Nanas’ land lease, no school should be told how to run operations

KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — The authorities should renew the lease for the land where SMK Convent Bukit Nanas (CBN) is located, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) said today.

Suhakam said it shared the concerns by various organisations and individuals over the land office’s decision to not renew the 122-year-old school’s land lease and the possible need for it to be relocated from its location in the capital city.

“Suhakam is of the view that the operations of the school should remain as status quo and the land lease should be renewed.

“As one of the country’s high-achieving schools, CBN should be allowed to continue with its educational work as they have done for more than a century,” Suhakam said in a brief statement today.
