Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus was over a century old when it was demolished in 1994.
SEREMBAN: It’s common for old buildings to be demolished in the name of progress. Yet, when that building is a school, filled with years of childhood memories, the pain cuts deep, even decades later.
FMT Lifestyle met with members of the Convent Past Pupils’ Association Seremban at Dataran Seremban, once the school’s field, now a public park.“Not only that, but three generations of my family studied here – my mother who was born in 1920, myself and my daughter as well! She was, in fact, part of the last graduating batch in 1994,” Mary, 74, said.
“There were many speculations as to why the school was demolished,” explained Mary. “But of course, who were we to argue?”Sounding rather emotional, Mary said: “I was among those standing opposite from the school, crying as I watched it go down.” Excavation work for a three-story basement car park began, yet the project never went beyond this stage as the recession hit, halting all work.“The authorities tried draining out the water, two or three times but each time the water came up to the same level again,” shared Mary.“Seeing this, old folks around here believe that this may be holy ground.” Take a closer look, and you can even spot the building blocks of the parking lot structure.
“The nuns were quite strict with us,” Mary recalled with a smile. “But we all have such deep gratitude for the Infant Jesus sisters. They were my backbone to who and what I am today.”
