School Committees Association of Malaysia (UCSCAM), or better known as Dong Jiao Zong (or Dong Zong), was founded as a response towards the highly controversial 1952 Ordinance. The Council Paper No. 64 of 1954, published in September 1954, suggested the formation of English classes as an intermediary measure to anglicise Chinese vernacular schools. It was again heavily opposed by the Dong Zong and the Chinese community. In 1955, the Razak Report was drafted by then Education Minister, Tun Abdul Razak. It was again met with dissatisfaction towards the policy of using Malay as the only medium within secondary education. The Dong Zong became a proponent of Chinese education in Malaya, and heavily influenced Chinese schools of the 1950s. Starting from 1955, Chinese and Indian vernacular schools were approached by the federal government, led by Chief Minister (later Prime Minister) Tunku Abdul Rahman to receive federal funding at the expense of accepting the integration of the school into the national education system. This move was controversial, as it was accused, by the non-Malay community, as a move to assimilate the local population – known by some as Malayanisation. At the behest of the Malayan government, some schools, such as Chung Ling High School and the Penang Chinese Girls' High School, eventually caved in, accepting federal funding, becoming a National Type School. This was the case of most of the Chinese institutions in Malaya. However, other schools, such as the Han Chiang High School abstained the offer, defending their previous statuses, becoming what was later known to be the 60 Chinese independent high schools of Malaya and later, Malaysia under the supervision of the Dong Zong (the Dong Zong insisted on the '60+2+1' formula, which would be the correct and official interpretation). The move by Chung Ling High School, under the decision of the administrators led by Wang Yoong Nien, sparked heavy disagreements by students and teachers alike, and provoked demonstrations which ended up in police detentions and violent clashes throughout 1956 and 1957. It also caused a split in Chung Ling, sowing the seeds for the formation of Chung Ling (Private) High School. First student strikes (5–20 July 1955) As early as June 1955, there were rumours that Chung Ling High School was prepared to accept federal funding. The rumours were later proven to be true, when on 3 July 1955, the board of directors formally accepted the federal government's offer
