THE SMK Pusat Bandar Puchong students performed a dragon and lion dance in conjunction with the Chinese New Year.
The event was officiated by Lim Seng Hou, who is private secretary to Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.
The school Parent-Teacher Asso-ciation (PTA) chairman Lokman Hamidi, in his welcoming speech, requested for the ministry to look into the construction of a hall for the school.
“School assemblies are cancelled every time it rains, since we have no hall.
“Our current enrolment is 2,409 students,” he said.
