Another of Muar's landmark heritage buildings, the Government English School, has survived two world wars since its establishment in 1902. Renamed Muar High School in 1955, its most famous former student is Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who studied here in the 1960s. The school has been gazetted for restoration and preservation under the Johor Heritage Foundation. Its gate bears a no-nonsense motto that harks back to bygone days: Usaha, Bukan Kata (Work, Don't Talk).
