P110 Klang

The MP questioned the future appointment of teachers, highlighting the critical shortage of teachers in Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil) SJK(T) and Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) (SJK(C)). He criticised the government's lack of seriousness in addressing the issue and raised concerns about the significant cost implications of having two teachers per class.

The MP advocated for fixed and transparent funding for all school types, including Tamil-medium national-type schools SJK(T). He thanked the Prime Minister for a commitment to rebuild SJK(T) Ladang Jeram in Pahang but also highlighted that construction for SJK(T) Sungai Bakap and SJK(T) Serendah remained stalled, and many SJK(T)s nationwide were in a dilapidated (daif) condition requiring urgent attention.

The MP urged for the upgrade of public schools, specifically Tamil-medium national-type schools SJK(T) and Chinese-medium national-type schools (SJK(C)), stating they were often neglected in terms of infrastructure and basic facilities. He also inquired about the amount of allocation that would be channeled to these schools and if a transparent implementation plan was in place to ensure they received benefits.

Tuan Ganabatirau a/l Veraman (Klang) raised concerns regarding secondhand laptops supplied to Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil) schools, stating that most were unusable and that many complaints had been received. He urged the Prime Minister to address these issues constructively.

The MP discussed the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13) and its potential impact on minority communities, including the Indian community, but did not specifically mention Tamil schools SJK(T).
