Is Juying Primary School Getting Ready For Merging?
Ju Eng Public School in Jalan Kayu was the beginning of Juying Primary School. Mr Ang Oon Hui established the school as a Chinese-aided institution in 1940. Ju Eng is pronounced “Juying,” means “a gathering of skills” in Hanyu Pinyin. The school was closed during the Japanese occupation but reopened in 1945. Ju Eng Public School remained open until 1987 when forced to close owing to declining enrolment. The spirit of community service continued, and Mr Ang Oon Hui converted the Juying Primary School building into a Home that provides welfare services for the aged and needy of all races and religions.
