SMK Sedaya Lama in Kanowit was one of the oldest government school in Sarawak. It was officiated on 26th April 1958 by Mr. D.C. White, the Sarawak Resident of the third Division.
This school has been relocated not far away from the current site and is now known as SMK Datuk Haji Abdul Rahman Yakub. With the relocation, the old school was left in disrepair.
It is sad to see how the school looks like now. Wish it could be restored to its former glory and preserved as part of the State's heritage.
This place is still a bustling place as a ferry point where people from this side of Kanowit communte across Kanowit River to the Kanowit town on the opposite bank.

It is a shame to see the old school in such a state. I taught in the school for just over 2 years from September 1974 to December 1977. I was from the UK and had a great time and wonderful memories of the staff and pupils in my classes, as well as breakfasts in Kanowit at the weekends.
