I love children. I love teaching. Those were the main reasons why I took up a teaching career and pursued a training course in Brinsford, England.For more than 3 decades, first as an ordinary teacher, I went on to hold various responsible positions in the teaching profession. To me teaching is not only a profession, it is a passion. "Once a teacher, forever a teacher.' What a truth in this saying.

In Sekolah Sri Sedaya, with a teaching staff with so much enthusiasm, youthfulness and dynamism, I hope to provide the leadership to bring about this school to become a household name for this locality, to equal to the best educational institutions in the Klang Valley.

With this vision, I intend to pursue this mission through two fronts - a purposeful and uncompromising approach to develop the character of the school, as to be reflected by the students in their behavior, manners, personalities etc and, of course, a deliberate and systematic effort to achieve academic excellence of the students.

To achieve these objectives, I intend to bring about various changes - change for the better for the school in general and the students in particular.

It is therefore my fervent hope that as your children come to the school as ordinary students, they will leave the gate as extraordinary students - to join the society as responsible citizens and as captains of the various industries as men and women of substance and leaders of tomorrow, who will determine the destiny of the fellow Malaysians.

It must not be forgotten that the upbringing of your child / children is a joint effort between the school and the home, so let us work together for their future, to exploit fully their potentials. Your understanding, cooperation and support to this end will not be in vain.

Dr. Shih Toong Siong, CEO and Secondary Division Principal of Sekolah Sri Sedaya.
