MyIndians UPU Application Workshop for SPM Leavers

April 8th, 2011

I helped out a bit at MyIndians UPU Application Workshop for SPM Leavers which was held on 26th and 27th March. It was held at the office in 3 2 Square PJ. About 400 over students/parents came for the workshop (held over two days). There was  a general briefing, followed by individual counselling (if needed) by volunteers who represented various careers (medicine, engineering, skills based, teaching etc). This was followed by briefing on how to apply to UPU. And interestingly, the organisers managed to get BSN to open a counter to sell PIN numbers on the spot! The irony is that some students/parents don’t even know that they need a PIN number to apply to IPTA. Good thing the BSN counter was there. The organisers had also printed a simple booklet explaining about what to do after SPM.

As a follow-up event, they are having workshop for JPA scholarship applicant on interview tips:

MyIndians.com calls all those who have applied for JPA scholarships for a special training this Saturday, 9th April 2011 (10 am to 12 noon) on how to conduct yourself on the interview day. Please call our help centre or Asha at 012-3431656 for details

new building for SJKT Tapah to start soon

April 7th, 2011

Got this from MOE website:

 

Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) ingin mengucapkan terima kasih dan merujuk kepada Laporan Akhbar dalam ruangan Berita akhbar MALAYSIA NANBANbertarikh 17 Februari 2011 – Ibubapa dan pihak sekolah mahu bangunan baru di SJK (T) Tapah.
Untuk makluman, projek SJK (T) Tapah telah pun diserahkan kepada Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) selaku Agensi Pelaksana dengan kaedah Rundingan Terus secara pakej bersama dengan SJKT Bagan Serai.

Namun demikian, disebabkan kekangan peruntukan semua projek-projek JKR yang sedang dalam proses tawaran terpaksa ditangguhkan sehingga mendapat kelulusan Kementerian Kewangan.

Setelah mendapat kelulusan Kementerian Kerja Raya Malaysia (KKM), KPM telah mengeluarkan surat kelulusan meneruskan projek kepada JKR tetapi JKR memaklumkan bahawa kontraktor yang dilantik mempunyai rekod yang tidak baik (syarikat ditamatkan bagi projek JKR yang lain/projek bermasalah) dan JKR mengambil keputusan untuk melaksanakan projek secara tender terbuka seterusnya membatalkan projek secara runding terus setelah mendapat kelulusan daripada KKM.

Kementerian akan meneruskan projek ini di bawah RMK-10 (1st Rolling Plan) dan surat kelulusan kepada JKR telahpun dikeluarkan pada 28 Februari 2011. Pembinaan SJK (T) Tapah akan dilaksanakan sebaik sahaja semua urusan berkaitan dengan proses tender selesai.

Tamil School HM caught between two sides

April 1st, 2011
|  Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email


I received an interesting news from a school teacher in Selangor recently. The teacher’s school has been allocated land for new building after considerable effort by various groups. They have been given x ha of land, but are trying to get a bit more to allow for more facilities.  In the mean time,  the school has been asked to raise money for new building construction as the Education Ministry is not able (read: won’t) to fund the construction cost.

Now, the interesting bit is that the state government is willing to chip in (I think to be monitored by EWRF), but the school’s HM is not willing to accept the offer for fear of reprisal from politicians affiliated to the ruling coalition in the federal government. The HM is worried that unhappy leaders may intervene and transfer the HM to other school as punishment for working with the “enemy”. The HM is reaching retirement age and don’t want any “problems” that may affect pension, relocation etc. Whether the fear is real or imaginary, or just an excuse, who knows.

But the situation is that the intervention of political parties in various aspect of the society has become so engrained that it manipulates, corrupts and distorts systems and structures.  Some people fear the system, while others use backdoors to manipulate system (direct tenders, recommendation letters, overruling panels). Tamil schools are also vulnerable as the HMs are trapped between political parties who rule at different levels. The enimosity between two groups only cause more misery for the Indian community, especially the Tamil schools. And yet these political people want to talk about “championing the community” or “working for the rakyat”.

Those in the know, can guess which school this is, so let them figure out the solution. If I get to know (and I will) that the HM is being transferred then I shall reveal more. Let the Indian community see who is the culprit.

So, what’s the next step? How to persuade the HM to accept the fund from state government? Will the HM be punished if does so?

Maybe the school just have to wait until some “saviour” politician comes over and announces that government will give RMxxx to building new building.  Perhaps nearer to election time.

90 SJKT Taman Permata students get free lunch for 1 year

March 23rd, 2011

ABOUT 90 underprivileged children from SJK (T) Taman Permata, Dengkil, were delighted to know that Living Hope Malaysia is sponsoring them with lunch for a year. The children sometimes have to stay behind after school for extra classes and majority did not have money to buy lunch.

Living Hope founder and chairman Dr Peggy C. Wong presented a mock cheque for RM27,000 to the school’s assistant headmistress Uma Perumal.

The program was started in 2010 by former headmaster Muthiah Sithambaram.

A total of 90 children from Standard 3 to Standard 6 will be fed.

“We are very happy to help these children so that they will be able to concentrate on their studies and not feel faint and sleepy in the afternoon.

“We thank our donors for their love and compassion for the poor and for partnering us,” Dr Wong said..

Living Hope Malaysia, founded in July 2007, is the corporate social responsibility arm of Living Hope Resources (M) Sdn Bhd that aspires to be the voice of the unheard and a champion of the poor, needy and marginalised children living in Malaysia and internationally.

It acts as a bridge by connecting generous donors with needy children. Sponsorship (cash or in kind) is channelled directly to the beneficiaries.

Living Hope is run by a dedicated group of volunteers whose motivation is to inspire hope in needy children for a better future.
