SJKT North Hammock, located at Setia Alam, is an old school recently blessed with a new building and location, courtesy of SP Setia. The school recently elected a new PIBG line-up. The team is enthusiatic and aims to improve the school’s UPSR result.
UMIC was contacted by Mr Nathan, who is in charge of the Education Section of the PIBG committee. We were invited to help the PIBG and school to plan and create strategies to improve the school’s education standards. We attended one brain-storming and idea-sharing session on the 11th of March 2007. This was followed by a seminar on 25th March for both students and parents conducted by EDC Resources.
The school is arranging for intensive extra tutoring for Year 4,5, and 6 students for 6 months in a bid to improve UPSR results and general education level. Those interested to help in terms of finance to run the extra classes are welcomed to contact us.
Photos of the seminar are available at Shutterfly.

NEWS:Acquire knowledge and embrace change, Indian youths advised

MENTAKAB: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has advised Indian youths to give their undivided support to activities carried out by the party which are aimed at building a better future for the community.
He said the Indians had been in Malaysia for more than 140 years and, during that period, had become skilled labourers in estates as well as workers in road construction.
“But if youths do not think rationally and find it hard to embrace physical and mental change, then the aspirations of the Government and the MIC to help them will fail,” he said at a religious festival at the Sri Marathandavar Temple here yesterday.
Hence, the Works Minister called on Indian youths to emphasise efforts to give added value to their life by acquiring knowledge to improve themselves.
“The MIC always gives high commitment to education as can be seen from the various initiatives taken by the party,” he added.
He said they included the establishment of the Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology (AIMST) in Semeling, Kedah, which is capable of training 150 medical and dental doctors every year; and the Tafe College in Seremban, Negri Sembilan, which had so far produced more than 22,000 graduates. – Bernama

Tamil schools to get aid
http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/4/2/nation/17322737&sec=nation
TAMIL schools will be given aid, the details of which will be announced at the appropriate time, Tamil Nesan reported Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein as saying.
He was speaking to reporters after visiting the Kamuning Estate Tamil school in Alor Gajah on Saturday.
He said the Barisan Nasional government was very responsible and fully understood the problems faced by Tamil schools.
He also announced an allocation of RM200,000 for the school.
Hishammuddin refuted allegations that Tamil and Chinese schools in the country were being ignored.
He said his ministry gave more attention to national schools, which consist of all the races, because they made up more than 75% of the schools in the country and about 76% of the student population studied in these schools.

Stay against Syariah proceedings http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/3/31/courts/17314381&sec=courts
By CHELSEA L.Y. NG
PUTRAJAYA: R. Subashini, who was told to go to the Syariah Court to fight for her matrimonial rights, obtained a temporary injunction from the Court of Appeal to preserve her civil rights pending her appeal to the Federal Court.
In a majority judgment, Justices Gopal Sri Ram, Suriyadi Halim Omar and Hassan Lah, who heard Subashini’s application yesterday, granted an injunction preventing her husband, who had converted to become a Muslim, from initiating or continuing with any proceedings in the syariah courts or converting their younger son. Justice Suriyadi dissented.
Subashini’s lead counsel Malik Imtiaz Sarwar had argued that the injunction was important because even if the Federal Court were to decide in her favour later, the judgment would be rendered academic if the husband, T. Saravanan, was allowed to get a final order of divorce from the syariah court first.
“All I am asking for is the preservation of status quo. The Syariah Court orders, if not stopped, will cause my client severe prejudice,” said Malik.
Justice Suriyadi then asked: “Has there been any attempt to convert the second child since the day we gave judgment?”
Malik: “Not that we know of. Perhaps my learned friend for the respondent can shed more light on this.”
Justice Suriyadi: “This is your case. You show me. I am looking at things in a rather clinical manner. You want an injunction you must show to me why it should be granted. I do not want to be set by external factors. I asked, are there any changes, and you said ‘No’. So, status quo is the same.”
Justice Sri Ram then asked Malik whether there was any custody issue involved, to which the counsel said that his client was a mother who would be deprived of her right to custody of her children if her husband succeeded.
Haniff Khatri Abdulla, who acted for Saravanan, then said the injunction bid was “another attempt to restrain the husband from reaping the fruits of a judgment in his favour”.
Haniff then said that the panel could not grant an injunction now since it had earlier affirmed the setting aside of an interim injunction granted to Subashini when it dismissed her appeal on March 13.
Haniff: “It amounts to the court reviewing its own decision.”
Justice Sri Ram: “Nonsense. This is a fresh application. We are not reviewing. We are asking you to prevent the husband from pursuing his case in the other court pending his wife’s appeal to the Federal Court.”
On March 13, the same panel had in a majority judgment ordered Subashini to battle out her divorce and custody claims at the Syariah Court.
Earlier on Sept 25 last year, Judicial Commissioner Aziah Ali set aside the injunction granted to 28-year-old Subashini a month earlier, which had enabled her to temporarily restrain Saravanan, 31, from commencing with the proceedings in the Syariah Court.
The couple, who has yet to finalise their divorce, has two children, Dharvin Joshua, three, and one-year-old Sharvin.
Saravanan, whose Muslim name is Muhammad Shafi Abdullah, claims that the elder child had converted to Islam with him in May.
Later yesterday, Subashini’s solicitor K. Shanmugam filed her application for leave to appeal to the Federal Court.
