PETALING JAYA: The Infant Jesus Sisters (IJS) Malaysia, the owner of the Convent Light Street (CLS) school in Penang, has found a suitable education provider to operate on its premises, which it requested back from the Education Ministry due to a continuous decline in student enrolment over the last decade and escalating costs to maintain the heritage school buildings.
