Bukit Bintang Boys' Secondary School

Bukit Bintang Boys Secondary School (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (L) Bukit Bintang; abbreviated SMKLBB or BBBSS) was established in 1958, making it one of the oldest secondary boys school in the city of Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

[citation needed] As a young nation in 1957-58, the Malaysian government welcomed help from all quarters to build schools and to give its citizens an education.

Although the schools were started by missionaries, the curriculum was based on government guidelines and was usually non-religious, although Bible studies were encouraged.

Initially, classes were taught in English but has since changed to Bahasa Melayu in line with the government directives.

He was only a young man of 28 when he accepted the challenge to run a school halfway round the world from his home in Scotland, United Kingdom.

[2] Tan Sri Musa Hassan, Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police, a BB alumnus, was the guest of honour.

The school motto is the Latin phrase: Nisi Dominus Frustra – 'Without God All is Vanity'; and is derived from Psalm 127:1.

Si-nar-lah cah-ya-mu Te-rang ce-mer-lang Biar-lah la-gu, De-ngan bi-jak-sa-na I-tu-lah co-gan Tan-pa-ruan, i-ni ke-kai a-ba-di Tu-han se-mua kan ga-gal English version B.

May thy star grow bright-er May thy fame in-crease May this glo-rious, Of the high-est wis-dom Let our watch-word be With-out God be-- Chorous - ne-ver, ne-ver cease Fore us all is va-ni-ty The school magazine is "The Bintang".

Some of the former students who had left BBBSS, referred to as “Ex-BBians”; have banded together in the group called the Old Boys' Association, or the OBA.

In 2007, the school Co-operative was formed, named "Koperasi Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Laki-laki Bukit Bintang Berhad".

Towards the end of the school year, with contributions from an ex-BBian, a gymnasium was installed in one of the Squash Complex classes.

The area outside the Badminton Hall was renovated to fix the cracking pavements, and also to install new shades for the covered walkway.

The school canteen was renovated to new floor and pillar tiles, and wooden seats were added to previously bare metal benches.

In 1985, a project to construct a new canteen and a gymnasium cum squash courts was completed at a cost nearly half a million Ringgit.

Fund-raising projects such as "Jog-a-thon", Canteen Day and School Fun Fair were conducted during the period.

Here is the excerpt: I can remember the day in 1980 when I approached the Headmaster, Mr. Oh Kong Lum, and asked whether I could start a Squash Club.

Again thanks to the fierce competitive spirit and the support of the BB boys and teachers we won, when it had appeared earlier that the game was swinging in favour of the La Salle boys.Today, thanks to privatisation and the efforts of Mr. C.T.

Well BB has indeed gone a long way and we must make sure that it maintains its position as the best squash school in Malaysia.Ms Jacqueline TohThe old canteen was used as a temporary classroom to accommodate the increasing number of students but was eventually demolished.

A line of BBians would form in front of Madam Quah, as she would be giving out Red Packets to students during the event.

Students and peers, including principals and education officers in Petaling district; attended the event to bid farewell to her.

Some notable ex- BBians include The school's annual Sports Day used to be held at "Padang Timur" (The East (Malay word: Timur) Field (Malay word: Padang)) as the school field is unable to accommodate the number of students and sporting events.
