Many Chinese primary schools still need aid

The Chinese community welcomes the corporate sector’s contribution to Chinese schools that lack facilities. MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said there were still many Chinese primary schools that needed financial aid for classrooms, facilities, books and important activities. “Chinese schools have been part of the country’s education system and have existed in the country even before Merdeka."...The Star

Have you noticed that there had never been a report that said Malay schools lack facilities and they need aid. Why should Chinese schools who have contributed so much to the country's education system even before Merdeka, and after 50 years of Independence, still crying for aid.

All the Chinese schools in Malaysia had obtained most of their financing through the philanthropic deeds of the Chinese communities and contributions from the parents of the students. At the most, there were small contributions from the Education Dept. but largely, as you may have heard that they were not even enough to repair the termite infested wooden beams that plagued the schools.

Does Chinese schools teach Communism? Do they preach anti-nationalism? Are they anti-government? Do you know that all the Chinese schools sing Negara-ku in their assemblies which many private schools of a certain main religion in the northern states do not even speak of the words in the national anthem.

I believe we should ask for equality in education grants, especially these young minds are going to be the main contributors to the success of the nation in future.
