P122 Seputeh

The MP recounted her experience trying to help a Tamil-medium national-type school SJK(T) in her constituency expand its canteen roof. She criticised the bureaucratic process, which caused a 3-4 month delay for Public Works Department (JKR) approval, even when a private developer offered to do the work for free.

Puan Teresa Kok Suh Sim discussed criticisms against vernacular schools, specifically Chinese-medium national-type schools (SJK(C)), but did not mention Tamil-medium national-type schools SJK(T) in the excerpt.
