Announcing this, Mr Tan Wah Thong, Chairman of the Anglo-Chinese Schools Board of Governors (ACSBOG), said that Mrs Ong had served 42 years in the teaching profession with distinction. She joined ACS (Barker Road) as the Vice-Principal of the Primary Section in 1995 and was appointed the Principal of ACS (Primary) in 1998.


"On behalf of Bishop Dr Robert Solomon and members of the ACS Board of Governors, I wish to thank Mrs Ong for her dedicated service and commitment to ACS (Primary). We wish her good health and godspeed on her well deserved and blessed retirement," he said.
