Today I sent a letter (hand-delivered and emailed) to Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek to seek his action in getting the permits from Education Ministry for Chinese schools in Selangor following the approval and allocation of land by the Pakatan-led state government.<\/p>\n

Dr. Chua had said in the 18 February 2012 debate with Penang Chief Minister YAB Lim Guan Eng, that Pakatan Rakyat state governments have failed to provide land for Chinese schools. However, the proof available in relation to Selangor, and land for Chinese schools, is indisputable as we have documented evidence<\/a> on the decisions to approve the state land for Chinese schools.<\/p>\n

The letter to Dr. Chua reflected this and I also provided him with copies of the said documents. I urged him to take action on the matter to ensure that these schools can now get their permits from the Education Ministry to build their branch schools.<\/p>\n

The letter was sent to the MCA HQ where Dr. Chua was present and received it. The PDF version of the letter can be downloaded here:Letter to Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear Datuk Chua,<\/p>\n

RE: Seeking your action in obtaining permit for SJKC Yak Chee (2) & SMJK Katolik (2) to be built at Taman Tasik Prima Puchong<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to highlight an error you made during the debate with Penang Chief Minister YAB Lim Guan Eng on 18 February 2012, that the state governments in Penang and Selangor have not provided land to Chinese schools. \u00a0<\/p>\n

For your information, Selangor\u2019s Pakatan-led government has approved land for five Chinese schools that were applied for by JKPTG since 8th<\/sup> March 2008. These schools are:<\/p>\n

i)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SJK(C) Hin Hua, Klang;<\/p>\n

ii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SJK(C) Bandar Serendah, Hulu Selangor;<\/p>\n

iii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SJK(C) Balakong, Hulu Langat;<\/p>\n

iv)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SJK(C) Connaught (2), Hulu Langat;<\/p>\n

v)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SJK(C) Gurney, Hulu Selangor.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, Selangor has allocated state land to SJKC Yak Chee and SMJK Katolik to build branch school at lot 65768 and 65766 at Tasik Prima Puchong in an Exco meeting dated 23rd<\/sup> September 2011. *(Document attachment 1 \u2013 Minit Keputusan Exco, 23 September 2011, BIL 46\/30\/2011.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Therefore, I believe your inaccurate and somewhat irresponsible comment can be cleared up if you go through the attached official documents, including the latest approval by Selangor for land allocation to schools.<\/p>\n

I would like to seek your attention and action on the above matter especially as you may have been unknowingly misled to believe that the Selangor government has not delivered on the question of land for Chinese schools in the state.<\/p>\n

The Education Ministry, in which MCA\u2019s youth chief Datuk Dr. Wee Ka Siong is deputy minister, has rejected the application by these schools to have branch schools in the allocated land, in response to an official letter from the Selangor state government. *(Document attachment 2 \u2013 Surat Setiausaha Kerajaan Selangor kepada Kementerian Pendidikan, 30 September 2011; Document attachment 3 \u2013 Surat Kementerian Pendidikan kepada Setiausaha Kerajaan Selangor, 25 November 2011). <\/em><\/p>\n

For your information, all the said documents have been published on the Internet for public purview after Datuk Wee Ka Siong had distorted the facts on this issue and misled the public in the media. (Reference: http:\/\/teresakok.com\/2012\/02\/06\/why-is-mcas-wee-afraid-to-meet-dong-jiao-zong-over-school-land-allocated-by-sgor-govt\/<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>In relation, Datuk Chua Tee Yong was quoted in The Star (Nation page 6, 20th<\/sup> February 2012) issuing a warning to Malaysians about the spread of false information and political spinning in social media.<\/p>\n

I agree with Datuk Chua Tee Yong\u2019s statement and encourage you and Datuk Wee Ka Siong to learn from his call to stop political spinning of school land given by Selangor to the Chinese schools, but speak the truth when we furnish you with official documents.<\/p>\n

Finally, in your recent debate with YAB Lim Guan Eng, you had repeatedly emphasized the contribution made by MCA to Chinese schools. I would like to seek your assistance to help these two schools get their permit from the Education Ministry to build its branches on the allocated land immediately, proving that MCA can walk the talk rather than resort to political spinning for personal gain.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your kind attention.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n
