| Wong: Land for schools not approved yet Posted: 03 Nov 2011 03:55 AM PDT PUCHONG MCA chairman Datuk Wong Hock Aun is rebutting statements made by DAP's Seputeh MP Teresa Kok that the Education Ministry has approved the application of two vernacular schools and an autistic school to be built in Taman Tasik Prima, Puchong. Referring to a letter from the Selangor state secretary's office to the Education Ministry, Wong said the letter only stated that the state government supported the application of the new schools, but did not mention its approval. "As such, it is very wrong for Kok to politicise the issue and mislead the public into thinking that the state had approved the land for the schools," Wong said during a press conference at the Puchong MCA Youth office at Batu 14 in Puchong yesterday. "I have done my research at the Land Office and found that the land had no titles yet and it is not a state land. "Furthermore, the Education Ministry through the Federal Land Commission had submitted the land application to the Land Office to be elevated as a school reserve. "However, this application could not be processed by the Land and Mines Department because the property developers, Bolton Bhd, had surrendered the land to the state education department and not the Land and Mines Department," he said. He added that Kok had also made a statement in Parliament on Nov 1, saying that the application for the new schools had been approved by the state government. It was reported in another newspaper that the state had urged the Education Ministry to approve the construction of three schools in Puchong to cater to a growing number of students in the state. In a letter to the Ministry, the state government voiced its support for the applications of SJKC Yak Chee, SMJK Katholik and the National Autism Society of Malaysia (Nasom) to build schools on two plots of land in Taman Tasik Prima. In the proposal, 1.67ha will be used to build SJKC Yak Chee 2, 2.58ha for Catholic High School 2 and 1.01ha for Nasom. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
