Does the news below sound right to you? To me, it looks a stop-gap measure to hide some deeper issues. Already two years, don’t tell me now only want to “provide” funds? Can the authorities provide a list of funds or assistance provided so far? Maybe publish in their website or hand out to the media.

The Kedah government will provide funds for Tamil schools, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak said yesterday.

He said the allocation would be according to the enrolment and infrastructure needed.

Azizan spoke to reporters after a meeting the chairmen of 58 parent-teacher associations of Tamil schools in the state.

The meeting was chaired by the state Domestic Trade and Consumerism, Siamese and Indian Affairs, Unity and Plantation Workers Committee chairman S. Manikumar at Wisma Darulaman here.

The Mentri Besar said requests for small amounts of aid would be handled immediately while those for large amounts would be included in the next Budget. – Bernama
