Kuala Lumpur, 28 July 2025 – KLK LAND, a subsidiary of Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad (“KLK”), and Kuen Cheng Holistic Education Berhad have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to establish the new Kuen Cheng High School 2, which will be located at Bandar Seri Coalfields, Sungai Buloh.
This strategic collaboration is set to provide residents and the surrounding community with access to high-quality education within an integrated education zone for the Northern Klang Valley Corridor. This zone currently includes Wesley Methodist Private School, SJK(T) Ladang Coalfields, and a new Chinese Primary School, SJK(C) Lee Loy Seng, set to complete in January 2028.
KLK Land has allocated 9.78 acres of prime land for the development of the Kuen Cheng High School 2, which will be situated within this designated education zone at Bandar Seri Coalfields. The addition of the school will further complement the existing and future educational institutions in offering wider educational opportunities for the community. With the current Kuen Cheng High School in Kuala Lumpur experiencing an overwhelming demand for admissions, this new campus will help meet the growing need for quality educational spaces. The proposed Kuen Cheng High School 2 is expected to begin the recruitment of students in preparation for the 2027 Academic Year intake.
KLK Land’s Managing Director, Ms. Lee Wen Ling said, “At KLK, we believe that education plays a vital role in shaping the new generations and nurturing young minds for a brighter future. We are pleased to partner with Kuen Cheng Holistic Education Berhad to bring accessible and quality education to Bandar Seri Coalfields and the surrounding communities. As we continue to develop the township, we are focused on creating a place where residents can enjoy both a comfortable living environment and a strong sense of community. With the opening of Coalfields Retail Park our lifestyle neighbourhood mall, set to complete in Q2 2026, this strategic educational partnership will further complete our lifestyle offering of the township, making Bandar Seri Coalfields an attractive place for families to call home.”
As the Chairman of Kuen Cheng High School, Tan Sri William Cheng Heng Jem highlighted his views with regards to the unanimous decision of the Board of Governors to go for the establishment of Kuen Cheng High School 2.
Tan Sri William Cheng said, “A branch school is not merely to replicate an existing institution, but to adopt its entire value, philosophy and the commitment in providing high-quality education. Our school has experienced significant growth in the past decade and reached its maximum classroom capacity permitted. The student population now comes close to 5,000, whose average admission rate has been just 49.8%, resulting in enthusiastic applications being turned down, and many promising young applicants unable to secure a place.”
“Furthermore, the excellent academic results, high admission rate of our students qualifying for the public universities, setting a new school record of Kuen Cheng, has prompted our determination to expand. It is an essential mission to uphold and promote our valuable traditional values while also celebrating the richness and inclusivity of the multicultural landscape,” he added.
With the birth of the Kuen Cheng Holistic Education Berhad, Tan Sri William Cheng firmly believes the holistic approach to deliver an all-round education will further strengthen its ultimate aim of Enriching School, Happy Students.
The development of Kuen Cheng High School 2 marks a key milestone in Kuen Cheng Holistic Education Berhad’s expansion into Bandar Seri Coalfields, complementing KLK Land’s vision of creating a vibrant, well-rounded community that caters to both educational and lifestyle needs.
