Among the schools to have additional buildings are the Bukit Beruntung school in Selangor and the Alor Gajah school in Perak.<\/p>\n<p>He said there would be an increase in the number of pupils after the rebuilding and expansion because more parents were keen to send their children to Tamil schools. &#8220;The MIC will continue to seek more funds from the Government to rebuild more Tamil schools,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Samy Vellu also said a new school was expected to be built in Sungai Siput to take in the increasing number of pupils in the existing Mahatma Gandhi Kalasalai Tamil school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NST: RM20m boost for Tamil schools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thestar.com.my\/news\/story.asp?file=\/2008\/2\/6\/nation\/20251795&amp;sec=nation\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SHAH ALAM: The Federal Government has approved RM20mil to rebuild or repair 22 Tamil schools in Selangor, Kedah, Penang and Perak.
