Calls to close down Chinese schools ‘stupid talk’, says Sarawak CM – Bernama
The Sarawak government is committed in efforts to help Chinese private schools in the state, said Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem today.
He regarded the call by certain quarters for the schools to be closed as "stupid talk", saying that the school enrolment also included children from other races in Sarawak.
Today, he presented a cheque for RM3 million to the Sarawak United Association of Private Chinese Secondary School Management Board, to be distributed to the 14 Chinese private schools in the state.
"This is the beginning, next year there will be more," he said at the event held at the Chung Hua Middle School No 1, Kuching.
He said although education came under the federal government’s jurisdiction, it did not hamper the state government from providing aid to the schools concerned. – Bernama, October 22, 2014.
