In 1998, the school implemented a comprehensive center in its school. In 1999, the board of directors wanted to move the school to another location due to the Sprint Expressway. On January 3rd 2001, the school shared with another school called SJK(C) Puay Chai 2 until the new area on where the school would be situated. On September 19th 2001, the school officially moved to PJU 3, near Tropicana Golf and Country Resort following the Federal Government of Malaysia that it was no longer a place for "conducive learning environment" because of traffic congestion and noise pollution from the neighbouring Sprint Expressway.

In 2007, the school did a beautify project on its gardens. In 2009, the school officially became one of the first "digital school" in Selangor.
