But many believe that Tamil can be a powerful political and economic tool. "I was told that Tamil is now the third most widely-used language on the Internet, after English and Chinese," says Kumar Menon, Senior Director (Special Projects) of Stamford College Berhad....... Tamil education has its merits By Sharon Nelson

BEING the poor neighbour can be very disheartening. When you have to attend classes in a run-down school while your peers less than a kilometre away are enjoying a spanking new building, life seems rather unfair.. Tamil school problems

Death threat to K P Samy

Wednesday, May 09, 2012

The Klang Midlands Tamil School’s outsourcing of the multipurpose hall issue is heating up. MIC central working committee member K P Samy has alleged that Thinnakkural’s reporter Arasu has issued a death threat for interfering in the Midlands Tamil School issue.

The reporter Arasu and several Midlands Tamil school board of governors, roughly around 15 of them, stormed K P samy’s travel agency in Klang asking him to ‘shut his mouth’ and warned him not to interfere in the schools affairs.

During the course of the heated argument the death threat was issued. Uthaya Sooriyan, former Tamil Foundation President, is the current chairman of the board but was not part of the group gone to confront K P Samy.

The board, also, returned K P Samy’s RM 100 donations for the building fund.

The state Exco Xavier Jeyakumar and the Peoples’ Alliance (Pakatan Rakyat) party ruling the Selangor state gained political mileage among the Indians for constructing the hyperbolic state of art Tamil School with a multipurpose hall  costing 4.7 million.

However, several quarters are crying foul.

Xavier, having a poor public relations record, seems to be not keen in resolving the issues and passing the buck to the Scholl Board. The Board chairman, on the other hand, is conspicuously missing. He should come forward to provide explanation to the legitimate questions.

Returning K P Samy’s money is a childish act. Storming the KPS Travels is an act intimidation, an act of desperation.

Did the Board authorize this?

Are you saying those who did not contribute have no rights to question?
