(Excepts from his comments in the LSLC Silver Jubilee Souvenir Booklet)<\/p>\n

We have to nurture our students with a deep understanding of the meaning of accountability, transparency and to be citizens with a vision of participatory democracy in their personal and family lives\u2026 We need to give all our youth a new sense of their dignity and self-worth so that the education system promotes wholesome individuals who will work in more collaborative and harmonious way in society\u2026 The introduction of learning centres\u2026has to be one of our most urgent and immediate needs.<\/p>\n

Dato Bro. Anthony Rogers, Director of Christian Brothers Schools Malaysia has strongly encouraged the Church to set-up the Learning Centre at the premises of the Church of Divine Mercy, Sungai Ara.
