This issue is being dragged since early this year I think. How long does one need to beg seek?

Obviously, in this era of transparency, we will be seeing a full list of school upgraded, the costs involved, the items upgraded, the contractors names and so on. We will right? Would it be published in MOE, JKR or MIC website? Perhaps should take out ads in major newspapers too. I hope the MIC Info chief reads this 🙂

MIC is seeking an additional RM60mil from the Government to make good its promise to the Indian community to upgrade some 70 Tamil primary rural schools nationwide.

Party president Datuk Seri Samy Vellu said an initial allocation of RM130mil from the Government was insufficient to carry out the upgrading works owing to fluctuations in the cost of building materials since the plan was mooted.

The Government had approved RM30mil to upgrade 25 schools under the first phase.

However, the amount was only able to cover 15 schools.

The Government later approved another RM100mil for the programme to upgrade the schools.

Speaking after laying the foundation stone for the construction of a new RM3.39mil four-storey block at SRJK (T) Alor Gajah here yesterday, Samy Vellu said work to upgrade the 15 schools was schedule for completion next August.

It is achievable to gather this RM60 Million.
With the support of the 1 Million Indians. No need to depend with the Government. Simple calculation : RM60,000,000 / 1,000,000 = RM60 person. Do a drive to create public awareness and do the donation drive. Do it fully online / bank transfer. RM60 (only one time payment) by a contributor will not be a impossible matter I believe. Get genuine parties to manage and audit this account. It is achievable within 3 months if every Tamil school lover put his heart, soul and effort together. No need to wait 30 years to see the changes in Tamil schools.

Krisaru,

the donation drive is usually suggested, shamefully even by the political parties, but in reality, its not easy. as you said, it needs a giant entity )genuine party) to moot the idea, someone/something with impeccable background. we don’t have that at the moment. If Group/Person A volunteers, sure got someone oppose or question. SAme if person B or C or Z.

secondly, can’t simply bank in to accounts, the banks will freeze it if we don’t explain the reasons coz they will suspect its skim cepat kaya.
