I refer to the letter Where is the guarantee for Chinese schools? by Alex. I think he is wrong to say that the closure of the Section 17 school has only to do with wanting to stop Chinese education it is just one of the reasons.

I have a strong suspicion that another reason is the value of the land, what with multi-million ringgit projects going on around it. The school is sitting on a gold mine with great commercial potential. Hence, interested parties are keen to see that the school is moved out fast.

Otherwise, how is it that they can built the new school at Tropicana in less than 10 months whereas it takes years just to have a pothole on a road filled up sometimes! I bet that the next thing to happen in that area will be the withdrawal of the temporary occupancy licence (TOL) for the residents there, followed by eviction notices.

For MCA, towkays come first. Chinese education or Chinese anything are relegated less importance. Business and financial opportunities are more valued. It is now a "money controls all" or "money corrupts all" world.
