Windfall for Chinese schools in Sibu

I was reading this report in The Star newspaper today and I like the good news.

SIBU: Chinese-medium and missionary schools here received a boost when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced a whopping RM18mil to be distributed among them.

Najib said RM10mil would go to 60 primary Chinese medium schools, RM5mil to five secondary Chinese medium schools, RM2mil to SMK Sacred Heart and RM1mil to SK St Mary to build new classrooms and upgrade facilities.

...
“The (RM18mil) allocation is the biggest for Chinese schools in Sibu since Malaysia was formed.”

Looks like we need more elections as this seems to be the quick way to get more fund for our Chinese schools ...! LOL! I am very happy. Are you?

Massive outpouring of `blessings' during buy-election to the hungry and needy who are starved for a long time, make me think....... should I pray for more buy-elections which means someone would have to leave office abruptly (bad things to pray) or just let people with terminal cancer or heart ailments get elected as YB/MP.
Anyway with so much $$$$$$$$$$$ generated by so many L and M lots outthere, the government has $$$$ to bless all of us everyday. No need to do it during buy election.

So will the rest of Chinese schools in Sarawak get anything? Do we have to have buy-elections to get development money? Isn't this money belonging to the tax-payers? why must it be allocated...errr..announced (wait and see if this money actually comes if opposition win) only during an elections? If it's not bribe or subtle threat, I don't know what else

i just hope that if BN didn't win the election, they will still fund the 18mil to the schools.

Cos normally when they lose, they will say it's people choice for not choosing them.. thus no funding.

It's our money anyway.
