Symbol sometimes does define a heritage.
SM Lok Yuk, Likas Kota Kinabalu, my alma mater (formerly known as Lok Yuk Secondary School) was established by the Basel Church KK as a mission school. In the past, SM Lok Yuk's relationship with Basel Church was well understood just as much as All Saints School to the Anglican Church and La Salle School to the RC Church. Over time, this understanding gradually subdued and was lost among the new generations. This loss was further hastened by hostile school head and possibly compounded by an acquiescent school management board.
On 1 June 2019, a cross was installed on a wall of a school block of SM Lok Yuk. This prominent display of the cross combined with Bibles verses reaffirms SM Lok Yuk's heritage as a Christian mission school. This effort was made possible to a certain extent by a receptive school head and a more assertive school management board.
Installation was conducted by the Bishop of BCCM and Pastor-in-Charge of BCCK KK (E).
