Datin Paduka Sister Enda Ryan with the Prime Minister's wife, Seri Jeanne Abdullah during a recent Christmas high tea reception....
Datin Paduka Sister Enda Ryan the, founder of the missionary school, Assunta Convent, Kuala Lumpur was an Irish nun of the Order of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary (FMM) who arrived in Malaysia in 1955. Asked how she felt spending Christmas in Malaysia, she had said that she was sweating like a buffalo at the beginning but have gotten used to the hot weather. Christmas in Ireland, she said, was always cold. Nuns in missionary schools however, I suppose are warm. Sister Enda, for instance, who like many other nuns and brothers in missionary schools all over Malaysia had managed to teach a whole generation of locals the international language. Today, many people can speak and write good English, thanks to the dedicated teachers in the missionary schools. Sister Enda, presently a Malaysian citizen, can speak just a little Bahasa Malaysia, the national language, with an Irish accent.
