PKR Selvakumar on Mount Austin Tamil School (Tamil)



Selvakumar’s speech during ceramah at Puteri Wangsa (3rd June 2012) touching on Mount Austin Tamil School Johor Bahru, where the land was taken years ago and now the Tamil school operating temporarily in Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Taman Mount Austin 2 since 2005. He claims that 4 million ringgit is approved recently but some people in power are holding on it; refuse to release the fund by giving excuse that they needed another 2 million ringgit to build the school.
Comparing with Midland Tamil School which built with latest state of art with only 4 million, he said the 4 million ringgit for the Mount Austin Tamil School is only going to be stolen by cronies.
SJK(T) Mount Austin Tamil school was built in 1957 with 100 pupils enrolled. Frequent floods damaging the school’s building caused the school transferred to a temporary building of another school. The problem of this school have been discussed in parliament in year 2004 (DR-25052004, page 15) but the school is still not rebuild until now (2012).

2012 - Old SJK(T) Mount Austin land turned into industrial area. Why the school is not rebuild in the same place?


When all the other school remains in Taman Mount Austin, new housing area and college built. Why the Tamil school shifted to new place?
