Tun Abdul Razak National Secondary School (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tun Abdul Razak) is a publicsecondary school located on the outskirts of Kuching, the capital of the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. It is national secondary school, a government school in which Malay is the main medium of instruction.
The school is initially named as Dragon Secondary School and is believed to have been derived from the hills that surround the school which resemble the coils of a dragon's body. The name is often falsely attributed to the winding road that leads to the school.
