Kheng Cheng School

How Kheng Cheng School Developing The Students?

Madam Lim Peng Tuan, the school’s founder, arrived at Shrewsbury Road, a rural region bordering Newton and Moulmein, in 1910 and established the school. Madam Lim was approached by a scholar, Mr Tan Cheo Teng, in 1922 about starting a school. She accepted because she viewed this as an opportunity to impart education to the youngsters in the neighbourhood. Although she had only a few years of education and was not affluent, education was the only way out of poverty. Madam Lim named her school  Kheng Cheng School, which means “to raise the youths” in Teochew. It is a name that continues to inspire us to this day.
