拿督斯里林克坚

Chairman Dato’ Seri 林克坚 said that education is not only the cornerstone of national and social progress, but also the bearer and transmitter of national culture. As a Chinese independent secondary school, Hua Lian’s responsibility is not only to impart knowledge, but also to pass on the fire, to promote Chinese culture and to cultivate people of both integrity and talent with a global perspective.

We expect our students not only to have a solid academic foundation, but also to have the spirit of innovation, independent thinking and international competitiveness, so that they can contribute to society, the country and the world.

In the future, the Board of Directors Department will focus on the following areas of advancement:

(i) Upgrading the quality and welfare of teachers

Teachers are the soul of a school. The Board of Directors will continue to increase investment in teacher training and professional development, as well as gradually improve teachers' salaries and benefits to create a more secure teaching environment, so that teachers can focus on teaching and student growth.

(ii) Improvement of school facilities and learning resources

We plan to gradually optimize teaching and activity facilities such as laboratories, libraries, sports grounds, etc., and introduce more intelligent teaching equipment to create a safe, modern and efficient learning environment for students.

(iii) Deepening domestic and international exchanges and cooperation

The Board of Directors will actively strengthen the cooperation and contact with domestic and foreign universities and educational institutions, and strive for more opportunities for student exchanges and overseas study, so as to expand the international vision of students and improve the overall educational level.

(iv) Promoting whole-person development of students

In addition to academic performance, the Board of Directors also emphasizes character education and personality building, encouraging students to participate in clubs, volunteer services and leadership training, and is committed to nurturing future talents with a sense of responsibility, inclusiveness and competitiveness. We hope that Hualian will become a cradle for nurturing leaders of our time, and move towards becoming one of the most influential Chinese Independent Schools in Taiping and even in the country.

The chairman also sincerely thanked the community, alumni and parents for their long-term support and trust in Hua Lian. Education is a long-term and great cause, the road ahead is full of challenges, but as long as we work together, we will be able to grasp the opportunities, uphold the spirit of “no best, only better”, and work hand in hand to create a brilliant future, just as the school’s song says: “Forever Hua Lian Glory”! We will continue to promote Hua Lian to move forward in the direction of greater excellence.
