St. Michael's InstitutionLooking across the Padang Ipoh, situated along Jalan SP Seenivasagam (formerly Clayton Road), St. Michael's Institution (SMI) was the place where Palohchai and littlecicak were educated. Littlecicak may only be in SMI for 5 years but for Palohchai, this had been the second home since Standard 1 until Form 6.

The BrothersSMI was formed in 1912 when Reverend Father J.B., Coppin, the priest of St. Michael's Church, convinced Brother Visitor James Byrne to start a boy school in Ipoh. Brother Byrne bought the school site for $6000 in Kampung Pisang.
