		<description>I agree that just land and building will not solve the problem of Tamil schools. 2/3 of the schools are in estates/ex-estate lands, while the balance find themselves in urban/urbanised areas. We can see the results in these urban schools improving, while those schools with small number of students or located in rural areas having average or below average results. This is attributed to the home environment - problematic parents, lack of parents support, no studying environment, poverty. By upgrading the schools and offering better support, there is a high possibility that more students can improve. One common problem is getting students to at least come to school in the first place. Then, ensuring they have the physical tools to study and learn, followed by the ability to learn. Yes, it may not be cost effective at the moment, but investing in the future generation is worth it, and this is one way government can show its commitment and support for the Indian community. 

Relocating the schools to a better environment or location can ensure more students enrol. 

Number of professionals or educated parents sending their kids to tamil schools is quite substantial, meaning the support is there. The upgrading of schools should come hand in hand with a plan to change the parents&#039; mindset.

Beyond this, there&#039;s the problem of political interference and PTA-school problems. Its not easy for the HM to please MIC, PPD, Parents, PTA and other relevant stakeholders. 

I may not have much experience as you are, but I have had my share of experience with tamil school students, teachers and parents for more than a decade now.</description>

		<description>It is indeed rather amusing to see so many armchair supporters of Tamil school giving their comments..most of these people never studied in Tamil school yet seems to be fit to pass their views and comments.

Just getting new land and building for Tamil schools alone won&#039;t solve the problem as long as our community&#039;s mindset don&#039;t change. As someone from estate Tamil school who made way to local U as well having the experience in teaching in rural Tamil schools I can tell you that we are our biggest enemy. Just talk to school teachers in primary and secondary schools and they tell you the problems with Indian kinds and parents.

Friends wake up ! This is not India and we don&#039;t have the infrastructure or access issues in terms of education but attitude. Remember you don&#039;t have to go to Tamil school to get educated but we have plenty of opportunity to do so. Don&#039;t talk about allocations when Tamil schools get far more than Chinese schools. Also remember, there are no Malay schools but National schools, don&#039;t get confused. However, if you have difficulties accepting BM as the national language then perhaps you should surrender your citizenship and head out of the country.

As for the Seaport Tamil school, this is idiotic. These morons have no case at all and out there purely for political purposes.

Mauriya please get your facts right. If we operated under a strict merit system in local Us, we would have lost out more to the Chinese. Just look at the results of Indian students in the SPM and STPM exams. Almost all who failed to enter local universities have done poorly in the exam. Some clowns with bad results also tend to try their luck with tough courses like medicine, law and engineering and fail. 

I can tell you in my batch, 90% of Indians would have failed had we competed with the Chinese  openly. Our case is very unlike the Chinese who had really smart ones miss out.</description>

		<description>Just imagine how many hundreds of millions he could have got for the Indians during his tenure of office if he could get 30 miiion ringgit within a few hours.

Just imagine how many Tamil schools with first class facilities could have been built.

Just imagine how many thousands of Indian students could have been sent to varsities overseas if they were unable to beat the present sectarian and race bias system prevalent in local universities.

Lying seems to be the name of the game nowadays. Even one ex-Selangor MB claims all are equally treated. There is no marginalisation. Even his driver is able to send his children to the universities. If that sort of UMNO logic is applied all drivers (irrespective whether drivers of MBs, Ministers,politicians or tycoons) and their children should be very well off. The way he puts it only Anantha Krishnan and Tony Fernandez (both Indians) are the richest people in Malaysia!

What a pity all the marginalised Indians could not become drivers. If we apply the same type of logic, then it is not difficult to understand comments like: looks like me, sounds like me but it is not me. 

Bolehland is full of surprises.</description>
