I'm an alumni and I'm mad that some people have been using this for self-promotion and recording trivias. The pictures are also oversize, and do not reflect the grandeur of the school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.250.80.15 (talk) 14:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC+8)

Historical inaccuracies

As an alumni of the school, I have some issues about this article: Chong Hwa was already a high school long before moving to Jalan Ipoh. When it became a high school sometime around the 1920s or 30s, the school acquired a plot of land just across the road (at Jalan Gombak) from the primary school, if I had not mistaken, to house the secondary school. Secondly, Chong Hwa did accept the government proposal to assimilate into the national school system, albeit without the authorization of the school trustees. The trustees then established the independent school due to the government's deception in assimilating Chinese schools (they claimed that the government defaulted on some of the promises made to the Chinese community). At first, the national school and the independent school shared the Jalan Gombak campus, with the national school having morning classes while the independent school has afternoon classes and limited use of the facilities. It was in the 1980s when the independent school outgrew the campus and the decision is made to shift the school to the current Jalan Ipoh site.

We will need to find sources before adding it to the article in order not to violate WP:OR and WP:NPOV. Although it is in Chinese, the school's website is a good place to start.--Joshua ^{Say "hi" to me!}_{What I've done?} 02:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
