SMKA Simpang Lima (SMKASL) is a government funded religious school established in 1982 for religious education. The institution is located at Simpang Lima Village in the district of Sabak Bernam, Selangor, Malaysia (Postcode: 45300). The abbreviation SMKA is the acronym for "Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama" meaning "Religious National Secondary School."

History

Foundation

In 1979, the Ministry of Education under the Division of Technical and Vocational and the Selangor State Education Department were planning to build a vocational school for agriculture in Selangor. The development was financed by a special facilities loan for education development from the World Bank. An area of 19.75 acres (79,900 m²) at an agricultural village in Simpang Lima was chosen as the site for construction. The site selection was based on the factors that the land was an undeveloped state-owned land.

The school was named Simpang Lima after a penta-junction at Jalan Kuala Selangor Lama near Sungai Nibong village. The construction completed in 1982 and the school was finally opened for admission on January 1982. However, due to political and public pressure, it was established as SMK Simpang Lima, a public secondary school and not as a vocational school as per planned.

Transformation into Religious School

After six years of service, there was a move by the school's Parent-Teacher Association with recommendation from the District Education Office of Sabak Bernam, to elevate the school status into a religious boarding school.

This proposal was accepted by the Ministry of Education and the Selangor Education Department. In 1988, the school's name was officially changed from SMK Simpang Lima to SMKA Simpang Lima.

Development

At her opening, the school was made up of 1 double-storey block for administration, 3 double-storey blocks for classrooms, 1 single-storey block for laboratories and workshop, 8 medium quarters for teachers and school staff, and a canteen. When the school gradually evolved into a boarding school, on of the classroom blocks is converted into hostel.

In 1992, the school received 4 new three-storey hostel block and a dining hall. In the same year, with the effort from the PTA and the local communities, a new surau was built.

In 1998, under the Sixth Malaysia Plan (RMK6), the Ministry of Education approved another construction of one three-storey classroom block and two three-storey hostel blocks, a new dining hall for female students, a water tank and two new playing court.
