| Data Info |
Tuan Mong School at Tank Road was set up in 1906 by public-spirited Teochew clan leaders to provide free education. When the new building was completed in 1960, it was the first school in then Malaya to have a complete built-in two-way public address system with an inter-communication unit attached. This enabled two-way communication between the headmaster and the students.
Tuan Mong also had a 'master clock system' which controlled the clocks in 48 classrooms, canteens and halls, setting off chimes according to the school time-table.
The school was closed in 1994 owing to falling enrolment. |
