Welcome

This blog is a natural extension of our official website at http://www.mbspenang.org. For the two years during the existence of our website, one persistent problem surfaced - updating new content. As the webmaster is away from Penang, he relied on emails from the school to be able to update the website. This is both troublesome and frustrating for all parties as by the time the new content is up, it is already outdated.

By having a blog this problem is solved because the school can directly update new content without having to go through the webmaster. Thus, the middleman is rendered obsolete and readers will be able to read news as soon as it happens. The Blogger platform is chosen because it makes publishing simple enough for non-tech savvy users to update the blog.

The official website will still be maintained, and special articles will still appear there. This blog is mainly used as a quick updating system. You should still point your browsers to our official website (www.mbspenang.org) as we will still show the latest news there as it happens here.
