History of my posting to SMK Chung Cheng, Sibu
Hi! Been busy lately and I haven't update and upload the photos but I will do so as soon as I have finished most of my official assignments. Anyway, I was posted to this school back in the year 2000. To be exact...on the 15th May 2000.
When I went there to report for duty, I was dressed in my best teaching regalia. I remembered shaving extra clean, bathed extra thoroughly and chose the best slacks and shirt. I even bought a new tie. I double checked my documents and file.
I left home much earlier than usual. At that time I had to cross the mighty Rajang River. The school was and still is situated across the river. I had to wait for the ferry. I had mixed feelings...excited and disappointed. A few days earlier I had received calls from the HQ telling me I was posted to a nearby school and a short while later I was told there was no vacancy there. Then the officer in charge told me as a matter of fact I had been posted to another school. Three times the HQ personnel called me and told the same thing. I had packed and unpacked my desktop...see I had no laptop at that time...it was quite frustrating. by the time, I almost gave up, the then principal of SMK Chung Cheng rang me up. He introduced himself and told me I must report for duty at his school as soon as possible.
I remembered asking him.."Where is that school? I never heard of it before. So he tried his best to describe its location and I almost went speechless when he mentioned Sg. Ma'aw, Tanjung Kunyit and Paradom...all seemed to be strange to me then. I was at a government quarters where my wife was teaching. yes1 In another town! Well...tell you how I got to that school later...stay tuned.

INTRODUCTION
SMK Chung Cheng Sibu is situated at Sungai Ma'aw, Tanjung Kunyit, Sibu(refer to sketch map 1). According to the local residents, this school used to be SM Kwong Nang and later its name was changed to SMB Chung Cheng in 1946. The local community here believed that the school's name was changed due to the victory of the Sarawak Army against the Japanese soldiers at that time.
The first Principal of SMB Chung Cheng was Mr. Lau Ngee Kiek, who was 40 years old at the time when he became the principal of this school. He was born in Batu kawa, Kuching on 20th October 1952. He was a University graduate and known to be a responsible, dedicated and diligent teacher.
