Samy Vellu’s Tamil daily, Tamil Nesan, in their editorial today backed Tamil School Parents and teachers Association (PTA) for Selangor states four million allocation for Tamil School development.
“Many PTA’s have shown excessive interest in the development of Tamil Schools except for a few. PTA’s have direct knowledge of their schools fundamental issues’, the daily said.
The daily believes any allocation of funds may not be misused as Parents and Teachers are obliged to question the usage.
“The contributions of EWRF, CHILD and Tamil Foundation in the country for the student’s educational curriculum cannot be forgotten. But they or anyone for the matter should not ‘chest beat’ to be the sole custodian of Tamil Schools”.
The daily, however, did not touch on the ruckus created by Puchong Murali and his coteries at a recent meeting with state Excos.
The aggressions captured in video are appalling but both Tamil Nesan and Makkal Osai have been generally giving positive coverage for Murali.
One PTA chairman was beaten repeatedly and was seen running around the hall which was not being highlighted but rather projecting Murali as the PTA’s champion.
Meanwhile, a briefing for PTA members was held on Sunday evening at KPS Travels hall, Klang where K Arumugam and his supporters attended.
Arumugam defended the allocation of 1.6 million to the three organizations.
At times becoming emotional, Arumugam outlined the programs conducted by EWRF, CHILD and TF using the fund.
“Ilanthalir magazine was published in 15 days and supplied to all the Tamil Schools free and we have documents signed by the recipients. People who say they did not receive are simply lying”.
“I’m the editor of this magazine. I challenge anyone to publish this magazine with the same cost”.
Murugan, former Selangor Tamil School coordinator, also delivered a speech in support of the NGO’s.
