【光明日报】张念群：政府应表明增建独中立场
Serdang MP Saudari Teo Nie Ching today urges the Minister of Education Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Deputy Minister of Education Datuk Wee Ka Siong make their stance clear - whether the government agrees to build new independent Chinese secondary school in Malaysia?
Teo pointed out that the government shouldn't hesitate in giving approval to the Chinese communities' proposals for building or reviving Chinese independent Chinese secondary schools as Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib has openly commended Chinese independent secondary schools are an important national asset that has given birth to unique talents during an interview with Sin Chew Daily on 14 December 2009.
In 7 January 2011, Ministry of Education has issued an official statement on its Website to turn down a proposal to revive an independent Chinese high school in Kuantan, Pahang. The statement said that it was government policy not to increase the number of independent Chinese schools. However, it was reported that the ministry has removed this statement from its official Website few hours after it has been posted in order to avoid BN from losing Chinese votes in Tenang By-election.

教育部在1月7日，教育官方网站发表“政府现阶段或未来不考虑在关丹增建独中
首相纳吉2009年12月出席中华独中百年校庆时，曾赞扬独中是国家的重要资产。
（吉隆坡23日讯）行动党沙登区国会议员张念群促请，政府不应再逃避增建独中的课题，而必须明确表达立场，说明到底政府是否批准增建独中，以给关心独中教育发展的华社人士一个交代。
她指出，尤其是教育部长丹斯里慕尤丁及副部长拿督魏家祥，更应该表明立场。她表示，政府不能一再提供模棱两可的答案。 “政府是不愿增建独中还是有其他立场？我希望政府能够表明立场，避免增建独中课题成为国阵在选举中捞取政治利益的筹码。”
她促请政府不要一再以“独中不在1996教育法令范围内”为由逃避独中增建课题，因为这是不负责任的答案。
张念群在国会走廊出示证据，说明教育部曾在官方网站发表“政府现阶段或未来不考虑在关丹增建独中”的贴文，但在不到24小时内，有关贴文被删除。她强调，关丹及昔加末居民多次向教育部表达增建独中的意愿，惟政府迟迟未答覆。
她说，既然首相拿督斯里纳吉去年出席中华独中百年校庆时，曾赞扬独中是国家的重要资产，因此，政府理应加速处理独中增建问题。

in a democracy, citizens should be allowed to
live and choose so long as the choices made does
not bring harm to others.
ICSS students are accepted by foreign
institutions, the students there have grown to
become good citizens and tax payers. So why
can't the BN administration makes it stand clear?
BN administration does make it stand clear to
the extend that during by election, ICSS's
contribution be recognised via ad hoc funding,
thus perhaps a political apparatus more than
anything else.

I marvel too, at the mushrooming of madrasahs
and ICSS. With the proverb "biar puth anak,
jangan putih adat". M'sia is a truly wonderful
place to live with all these diversity
