RM2487 per month for Chinese School

The following matter being published at MCA website, MCA is proud to relocate the Chinese School to Skudai to keep the existence of Chinese Primary School…

Johor Menteri mentioned that they have allocated RM2 million for Chinese school every year, from my search of the total Chinese School in Johor, from the MOE website, http://www.moe.gov.my/emis/emis2/emisportal/mainpage.php?module=CarianSekolah&task=list_sek&nama_sek=SJKC&kod_sek=&limit=30, there are 59 unit of Chinese school and with the 8 private Chinese Institute above, total 67 unit of school have to rely on the RM2million fund every year.

RM2 million means RM29,850 per year and RM2,487 per month, hmm may be RM2,487 is sufficient to pay for the salary of one teacher and may not enough for the principal.Again, as I said, dun “tua tua sia” (big big voice), pai seh lah MCA!


JOHOR BARU: SJK (C) Thai Hong in Kota Tinggi, which has only 17 students, has been relocated to Skudai.

This is to ensure the survival of the school, as it will be closed down due to the lack of students.
The move was one of the MCA’s efforts to establish more Chinese schools in areas with a high density of Chinese.

Incumbent Bekok state assemblyman Tan Kok Hong said that enrolment at the school, which was built in 1954 in Thai Hong estate, was decreasing yearly due to a drop in population.
Tan, who is also Johor MCA acting chairman, thanked the state for approving the project.
He also thanked Gunung Impian Development for paying for the 2.5ha plot and construction costs amounting to RM10mil.

Construction of the school with 24 classrooms will start in August. The first intake is targeted for 2010.

Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said the Barisan Nasional coalition government had made clear its open policy on education.

“We support the study of mother tongues of the various major races in the country, not only in primary and secondary level but also in higher educational.

“I always believe that studying will be easier through our mother tongues,” he said in his speech at a groundbreaking ceremony for the school on Monday.

Abdul Ghani said the state has an allocation of RM2mil yearly for Chinese primary schools and eight private Chinese educational institutions.

He said the state has also reduced the premium rate on the land by 5%.
