Last week the MIC N. Sembilan Chief Mandore visited this school. This week the MIC Minister mandore has a second bite of the same cherry and does another wayang kulit.
But this UMNO’s mandore party had never questioned this school having been infested with white ants.
Despite having been a coalition of the ruling government with their tuan these mandore political party has to go on their knees and beg the DPM and Education Minister for this school to be built. And UMNO did not urgently put the six temporary cabins but the MIC did. The law under Section 27 and 28 of the Education Act says that the UMNO government has to provide for this primary school.
No commitment or a time frame has been made by UMNO as to when this school would be rebuild. From our monitoring we estimate that it may take years of begging UMNO, up to even 16 years as in the two Tamil schools in Pahang. That too if they are lucky. One wrong move and this Tamil school may not be rebuilt at all and UMNO would have succeeded in “ethnically cleansing” this Tamil school as they have done from the 888 to the now 523 Tamil schools.
Despite having been a coalition partner of the ruling UMNO government for 53 long years this MIC mandore party is so “impotent” that they are even unable to secure fully financially aided school status for all 523 Tamil schools in Malaysia like any other Malay muslim school.
