美里民主行動黨發動捐款培中運動



美里民主行動黨捐款培中5288令吉,同時發動每人每月10元捐款運動,響應培中董事長王克灿律師提出的永久教育基金計劃

培中董事長王克灿律師宣布未來培中校務發展的初步綱要時,提出設立永久教育基金計劃,這“種子基金”的計劃獲得熱愛華教人仕的響應與踴躍捐款的情況令人鼓舞。

王克灿律師表示,將盡最大努力來落實培中創辦人所秉持的創校宗旨,保證面對任何艱辛的情況下,絶不乖離董教總所堅持的華文教育政策,不動搖培中自創校以來的母語教育立場。

王克灿律師的保征以及經營海南會館成功的經驗來永續經營培中,相信是全美里甚至全國華社和熱心華教人仕所樂見與期待的。華社和熱心華教人仕對於美里僅存的一間真正華文獨中的期許和愛戴是毋庸質疑的,這點我們可以從華社熱烈響應的情況看出得出來。

行動黨美里支部主席房保德不但響應培中董事長的號召,同時也要呼籲華社和行動黨的支持者來一起響應培中董事長的號召。唯因其本身的經濟能力有限,本着有一分熱發一分光的精神,行動黨黨員與幾位不願俱名的支持者在經費非常侷促的情況下共同籌了一筆為數不足掛齒的款項-- 伍仟貳佰捌拾捌令吉(RM5288),也來響應培中董事長的這個號召,同時他也要呼籲華社和行動黨的支持群眾踴躍來響應,今後全力支持美里僅存的華文獨中。

目前的國陣政府罔顧憲法賦予國民享有接受母語教育的權利,沒有制度化的撥款獨中,華社在千辛萬苦的情況下,毅然的扛下了這個本來屬於政府的責任。獨中每年都在非常堅苦的情況之下積極進取、自力更生的走過幾十年堅苦歲月。同樣身為馬來西亞國民一份子的獨中子弟不能和其他政府中學子弟享有同等的教育權利令人憤慨,而今天的華社上下一條心矢為辦好一間真正的華文獨中而努力不懈實為讓人動容,培中的這個“種子基金”的計劃使華社在萬般無奈中看到的是無限的希望與契機,期待培中在這個計劃之下永續經營下去。

房保德進一步的表示基於以下幾點原因,他看不出國陣政府有何種理由不制度話的撥款獨中。
第一,多個州政府己經資助獨中,没有理由砂州國陣政府做不到。
第二,獨中為我們的社會造就許多人才,對國家貢獻良多。
第三,獨中子弟的家長同樣為納稅人,為何獨中子弟不能在教育上享有同等的權利。

以下為多個州政府撥款獨中的情況:
在1985至1994年間,沙巴州的團結黨州政府率先的常年撥款給州內的華文獨中,1994年國陣接掌了沙巴州的政權,非但没有撤銷團結黨撥款給獨中的成規,且為了表示比團結黨做得更好,更把團結黨常年獨中撥款由100萬提高到150萬,2001年為180萬,而後又提高到200萬。2005年12月,砂巴州政府更是撥出469萬令吉給予州內所有獨中和華文學校包括華小和幼稚園。

進入21世紀,馬六甲州政府突破數十年傳統,撥出10萬助學金給培風中學,然後加發行政費而至2003年總共20萬令吉。

檳州政府在2002年撥出15萬令吉給州內獨中,2003年增加到20萬。

吉打州政府(2002年)撥出15萬令吉給州內獨中。

雪蘭莪州政府則在2003年杪宣佈撥款20萬給州內獨中。

吉蘭丹州極端的回教黨州攻府也都宣佈撥出1千英畝土地給州內唯一獨中(中華中學),且又給予永久地契。

DAP Miri calls the movement of the donation to SM Pei Ming

Dap Miri branch donated RM5288 for SM Pei Ming,at the same time, a campaign where each person donates RM10 each month being called, to response to the permanent education fund plan which was proposed by the board of director of SM Pei Ming, Lawyer Jimmy Wee.

The picture shows that Fong Pau Teck (middle) handed over RM5288 to the new board of director Lawyer Jimmy Wee of SM Pei Ming, the first on the right is The Dap Miri branch vice-chairman Kong Muk King,the third on the right is The Dap Miri branch treasurer Hii Yu Huat.

When Jimmy Wee lawyer, the board of director of SM Pei Ming, announced the preliminary fundamentals for the future development of the school administration, he proposed to establish a permanent education fund plan. The planning of this “seed fund” obtained great response from the devoted Chinese educationists who also donated money enthusiastically; this situation was spirited up people warmly.

Lawyer Jimmy Wee expressed, will do his best to implement the school objective which is grasped by the school founder into effect, he promised that whatever difficult situation he faces, he will never deviate from the Chinese Education policy which Dong Jiao Zong (董教總) persisted, as well as will not vacillate the mother tongue education which has been cultivated since the establishment of the school.

Lawyer Jimmy Wee promised to use the same successful experience, which has been successfully used to manage the Hainan Association, to manage SM Pei Ming continuously. We believed this is a good cheer and the anticipation fervently for the whole Miri even the whole country Chinese society as well as the Chinese educationists. The hope and the love from the Chinese society and the Chinese education enthusiasts toward the only Chinese Independent School in Miri is undoubtedly, we can see this situation from the warm-hearted response of the Chinese society.

The Dap Miri branch chairman Fong Pau Teck not only responded positively to the SM Pei Ming board of director’s appeal, but also he called upon the Chinese society and the DAP supporters to respond to this call simultaneously . Just because his financial ability is limited, with the spirit of accumulated water becomes rivers, in an extremely cramped situation, DAP members and some supporters who did not want to be named also responded to this call and raised an amount which is not worth mentioning of the amount of RM5288. At the same time he also wants to call upon the Chinese society and the DAP supporters to respond enthusiastically, from now on to support fully the only Chinese Independent School left in Miri.

At Present, the BN government ignors the constitutions which allow the national to have the right to enjoy and to receive the mother tongue education, no institutionalization to allocate fund for the Chinese Independent School, in an untold hardships situation, the Chinese society resolutely shoulder this responsibility which originally belongs to the government. Every year, the Chinese Independent School is under extremely difficult and hard situation to keep forging ahead, relies on its own effort to pass through several decades of hardship. As a Malaysian, the Chinese Independent School students cannot enjoy the same level of education right compared to the government school students which really made people feel indignant. Today, with the cooperation of the whole Chinese society, vowed to manage this Chinese Independent School well and work hard for it unremitting diligently, actually is visibly touched, in an utterly helpless situation, the “seed fund” plan of the SM Pei Ming made the Chinese society see the immeasurable hopes and turning points, looking forward to hope SM Pei Ming can forever be managed well through this plan.

Fong Pau Teck expressed further based on the following several reasons, he cannot see any reasons of the government not to institutionalise and allocate fund to the Chinese Independent School.

First, many states government has subsidised the Chinese Independent School; there is no reason for the Sarawak government to say that it cannot make it.

Second, The Chinese Independent School brought up many talented people, great contributions to the country.

Third, the parents of the Independent School students are all taxpayers, why can’t the Chinese Independent School students enjoy the same level of education right?

Below are the situations of the allocation of funds by the state government to the Independent School:

From 1985 to 1994, Sabah PBS state government took the lead to allocate fund for the state Chinese Independent School annually, in 1994, BN took over the Sabah State government, not only it did not cancel PBS’s rule of the fund allocation to the Independent School annually, in order to express BN will make better than PBS, but also it turned up the PBS annual fund allocation to the Chinese Independent School from 1 million to 1.5 million, 1.8 million in 2001, and then raised to 2 million. In December 2005, moreover, the Sabah State government allocated RM4.96 million to all the State Chinese Independent Schools and Chinese schools included the Chinese Primary school and the Chinese kindergarten.

Entered the 21st century, The Malacca State government broke the several decades of tradition to allocate RM100 thousand of scholarships to SM Pei Fong (培風中學), and then even added on the administration fees up to total RM200 thousand in the year 2003.

The Penang State government allocated RM150 thousand to the state Chinese Independent School, raised up to 200 thousand in 2003.

Kedah State government allocated 150 thousand to the State Chinese Independent School in 2002.

Selangor State government also announced to allocate 200 thousand to the State Chinese Independent School in 2003.

Kelantan, the extreme Islam State government also announced to allocate One thousand acres to the only State Chinese Independent School SM Chung Hua (中華中學), and also gave a permanent land title.
