Another Sad Story of Our Indians Malaysian
For more details, please visit Uncle Kit's blog.
For those who lazy to click here and there, i "copy" the Letter sent by a concern Malay woman in this blog.
I am representing the Indian parents from SK Sungai Puyu, Butterworth. Being a true Malaysian I don’t differentiate anybody based on their religion, race or culture.
This school has been conducting extra classes absolutely free of charge to all UPSR students since many-many years ago. The extra classes were carried out voluntary without any payments mostly by Indian teachers who were dedicated lots and realise that their students especially the Malay students need extra attention after school hours and also on Saturdays, They even teach during school holidays.
But recently the extra class for UPSR has been politicised and the government started to give payments to all teacher who teach those classes BUT there is a condition. The teacher who is to be paid must be MALAY and the extra classes are open ONLY for the MALAY students.
What once use to be something very much disliked by the Malay teachers because they have to stay back or come on Saturdays is very much sought after by these very same teachers because now they are paid on hourly basis. They get RM40 for one day’s lesson yet their teaching and dedication during those extra classes is very much questionable because they never liked it in the first place and some of them are just plain lazy and never even fulfill the minimum teaching requirement.
I came to know that this programme is being carried out not only in this school but in many Sekolah Kebangsaan schools throughout Penang. In extreme cases where they can’t find a MALAY teacher to teach English Language in certain schools the schools will secretly ask an Indian teacher to teach but claims are made under a MALAY teachers name as to follow the strict rules imposed by JPN. (Ali Baba)
What disheartened the Indian parents in SK Sungai Puyu is the marginalisation of their children in this school. The “Program Didik Cemerlang Akademik” or PDCA (last year known as JKP) has totally replaced the normal extra class which use to be carried out by volunteer teacher of the school and the Indian children are NOT included in it at all now. They are treated as second class citizen in a Malaysian school.
To make things worst during the Pendidikan Moral lesson they are not taught at all and are just isolated in a classroom by their Pendidikan Moral teachers whereas for the Malay student they have all sort of religious activities even during the non Agama teaching time and this usually rob of the precious time for most of other important subjects like English language and Mathematics.
I am attaching a letter from the school headmaster which is self explanatory of the marginalisation of the Indian students. This letter was given only to the “Waris BUKAN Bumiputera”. The reason which prompted me to write to you is when my friend’s daughter innocently asked her father after reading the letter about the REASON why the Malay students don’t have to pay and NON MALAYS must pay for it and why it is not compulsory for the non Malay. Tears dropped from my eyes after hearing that because these are the future generation which we are moulding from now to be true Malaysian.
I’ll stop here now for the time being. There are actually many more such issues where Indians are being marginalised in this school but I’ll stick to one first.”

Parliament Dissolved!
News from TheStar:
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has announced that Parliament has been dissolved, paving the way for the 12th general election.
At a hastily convened press conference at his office Wednesday afternoon, he said he had met the Yang Di Pertuan Agong in the morning and received His Majesty's consent to dissolve Parliament.
"I've informed Parliament and the Election Commission," Abdullah said.
The Prime Minister declined to speculate on what date Malaysians would cast their ballots, saying that it would be up to the Election Commission (EC) to decide.
"I am confident of winning, and I hope that we will retain our two-thirds majority," he said.
The ruling Barisan Nasional coalition swept to a landslide victory in the last general election in 2004.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission said it would announce polling and nomination day on Thursday at its office in Putrajaya.
The Election Commission held several meetings Wednesday in preparation for the Prime Minister's announcement of the dissolution of Parliament.
“We have got the declaration on the dissolution of Parliament by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the announcement of nomination and polling will be done tomorrow," said EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman.
When asked if nomination day was March 21 and election day on March 2nd, he said: “You can speculate anything you want. The official announcement is tomorrow.
“You wait for the official announcement,” he added.

More Candies!
It is a good news for Chinese school. But with RM10m, what can you do? The money can't even enough to build a school. Some more it is for many schools.
Why out of sudden, the money flow in to chinese school almost daily in every corners announced by UMNO-led-Government? If this is not candies, then what it is?
Why only announced when approaching General Election or in another word every 4 - 5 years? Even with this additional allocation, the amount is still small compared to Sekolah Kebangsaan. We paid our TAX every month to country, this money suppose to distribute and develope to all sectors fairly! We are NOT beggar that keep on asking for this and that! But this is the right of every Malaysian living on this piece of land, MALAYSIA. This is our right as Malaysian, protected under Constitution of Malaysia.
Finally, TIME TO CHANGE! VOTE FOR CHANGE!
We, as boss of this country, MUST DECIDE!
If we, boss, know that the current "management team" is weak, under perform, We, as boss, must sack them, and "hire" a ne group of "management team".
Time to think, to analyze, to judge!
Time To Change!
Is It a Threatening?
CHINESE voters have been urged to vote for Barisan Nasional if they want to “make an easy living.”
What the hell is that mean? If we Chinese vote Oppositions, means we will live like shit, like hell?
Don't insult our intelligence, we have brain to think, to analyze and to judge, Mr Taib with 2 Muhammad!
