When Children Quarrel, They Learn to Make Up. - Principal Loh Guay Hiong

"Let them quarrel. When children quarrel, they learn to make up. The younger they are, the easier it is for them to reconcile. This is how they learn to accept differences, resolve conflicts & communicate effectively." - Principal Loh Guay Hiong from SMK Taman Bukit Maluri, with more than 30 years experience working as teacher in 8 different schools. She was the Headmistress for SMK Taman Bukit Maluri, Kepong for the last 3 years.

I had the privilege of working under Principal Puan Loh's leadership for a short few months while working as a Temporary Teacher teaching everything from Maths & Economics up to BM for Form 5 in 2010. Always in smiles, she didn't speak much. But she brought in a concept of sharing tales of wisdom during weekly assembly. I remembered how the students would quietly resist the "morning moral sessions" and neither did I understand the difficult choices made. But one thing for sure, she made a difference. And her good services & positive outlook will forever be remembered and loved dearly by the people she impacted.
