PUCHONG: Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and his deputy Wee Ka Siong have been taken to task over the ministry’s rejection to build additional branches of Chinese schools despite land being offered by the Pakatan-ruled Selangor state government. Speaking to reporters here, Selangor exco Teresa Kok said: “Muhyiddin and Wee were hammering the state government during the Hulu Selangor by-election and in Parliament that we do not provide land and yet now they turn down our effort. Why turn down the state government’s offer?” “Who is the Education Ministry to decide on the land? Land is a state matter. The ministry only needs to approve,” she added.
On Sept 25 last year, Selangor approved 13 acres of land for the construction of new branches for SJK (C) Yak Chee II and Catholic High School II. The land also was meant for the Autistic Children School. All three plots of land are located in Taman Tasik Prima here. Five days later, the Education Ministry supported the state government’s plan. However, a letter dated Nov 25 last year to the Selangor state secretary indicated that the ministry intented to maintain the abovementioned lands for the construction of SK and SMK Taman Prima Puchong. Petaling Chinese Development Committee deputy chairman Lee Kim Chuan, who was also present at the press conference, said that the need for extra Chinese schools were pressing. “In total, there are more than 12,000 kids in these two schools. Ideally, the average number of school children should be 1,500,” he said.
Catholic High School’s Chong Fatt Leong said the ministry’s decision wronged both Chinese and non-Chinese students.There are 200 non-Chinese out of the 3,400 students in Catholic High School whereas 4% of the 3,000 SJK (C) Yak Chee students are non-Chinese.
Meanwhile, Puchong MP Gobind Singh criticised MCA for claiming to champion Chinese schools but failed to do so. “They are not walking the talk. The decision shows that Barisan Nasional is not connected with what is happening in Puchong,” he said.

MCA the so-called defenders of Chinese education, PUIIIIII !!!
Ministry of Education! don't just reject it! Pls come up with a SOLUTION!
if there is still no approval from the education ministry before the next general election, then my family will definitely vote for PR.
Is there a petition we can sign or anything we should do to voice our support over the schools?
A petition won't help... just vote wisely in this coming election

this is joke... why we need racial/religion base school in the first place.... this is 2012 but because of some people wont let their children mixing up with other race kids, i believes next 20 years malaysia racial dilemma wont be over....
why not instead of this kind of school we build sekolah wawasan where all races gonna be friends each other without prejudice.... dude. this kind of shit must be built since they are kids not when we are grown up when it is too late.... c'mon people dont be racist....
agree with NickFurry. dont be so selfish asking so many schools which end up none of the pupils able to mix up with other races. this is MALAYsia.
