With the school board challenging the Federal Government’s decision in court, many like former minister Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, who herself is a CBN alumnus, request that the historic institution, which celebrated its 120th birthday in 2019, be honoured as a national heritage site.
KUALA LUMPUR: The iconic Bukit Nanas Convent (CBN) will not be demolished once its lease expires and the land it sits on will revert to the government so it can be gazetted as a fully-aided government school, says the Federal Territories Land and Mines Office (PPTGWP).
Its director Datuk Muhammad Yasir said the government s decision not to renew CBN s lease was to ensure that the iconic school becomes a fully-aided government school, which would enable it to receive all the benefits it needs for the future. Right now, CBN is partially aided and it is a very old school. It will benefit more if it was made a fully-aided government institution, Yasir added.
