The History
The story of the establishment of Sekolah
Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIK) or Indonesian School of Kuala Lumpur in
Malaysia started when the International Affair Office of Republic of
Indonesia in Kuala Lumpur reopened. At the time, the embassy's employees
thought of the necessity of sending their children to school. The
initiative then got a positive response from the Attaché of Education and
Culture, that time was Drs. Bambang Sumadio.
Although with only limited facilities and employees : which only two employees
at the time, SIK opened with strong eager to struggle against any obstacle. As SIK
operated poorly, just few times later the school has been closed, regarding the
inefficiency and ineffective time of operation, and also caused by extremely low fund.
After the replacement of Drs. Bambang Sumadio to Muhammad Alwi
Oemry, SIK then
reopened. This reopening was fully supported by Mayjen H.A. Thalib Gelar Depati Santio
Bawo, the ambassador of Indonesia. Beside of being Attaché of Education and Culture, Oemry
then has been inaugurated to hold the responsibilities as a first headmaster of SIK.
The officially recorded date of the establishment of SIK is 10th July 1969,
which [the day] was filled by a ceremony officiated by various guests of honor. Among
them are the Indonesian ambassador and his wife, and Ministry of Education of Malaysia,
Yang Mulia Dato Haji Abdul Rachman Yakob.
SIK strictly uses Indonesian National Curriculum, and all the teachers are Indonesian.
Every student here follows the national education system.
Appearance
The school consists of 4 main areas. They're the
classroom building, office/administration, mushalla and basketball court, and the
last is the big, wide tennis court.
We also have a good collection of
SIK's appearance photographs.
SIK
is located strategically near the city center. Students have the convenience of
transportations to go to the school. There are various kinds of transportations. Commuter
Trains, Light Rail Transit (LRT) Trains, Buses, and Taxis.
To reach the city center, if you could, walk on your foot in
about 15 minutes and you're already in the city center.
