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.......

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

Sooriyan drags OMS Thiagarajan in Tamil Schools Spat

The Traveler, Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Klang Midlands Tamil School board chairman Uthyasooriyan, who is under fire for the 1.9 million outsourcing of multi-purpose hall, has dragged OMS Thiagarajan in the ongoing spat and insinuated that K P Samy did not settle the RM 50,000 donation to Simpang Lima Tamil School (SLTS).

“Did K P Samy really give RM 50,000 as promised?” Sooriyan retorted, according to Makkal Osai Tamil daily today.

R N Nathan, Bandar Botanic MIC Chairman, earlier produced the donors list published in SLTS publications as evidence. Side stepping this evidence, Sooriyan insisted that K P Samy donated nothing ever since he became the STLS Parents & Teachers Association Chairman in 2008.

Apparently, OMS Thiagarajan headed the SLTS Board and also the additional Building construction in 2006. That being so, now Sooriyan wants OMS or K P Samy to confirm whether the donations were indeed settled.

Uthyasooriyan has conveniently side tracked the issue, providing selective answers and being silent on a whole lot of questions.
Why no response to K P Samy’s questions?

What is the rate charged for the hall? Is it RM 14,000?

The hall outsourced for how many? 15 years?

How was the contractor selected?

Why can’t the Selangor state government absorb the 1.3 million needed for the hall construction ?

What is the value of the land returned to i-City? 3 million or 20 million ?

Why the School Board stormed K P Samy’s office?

Why the School Board returned K P Samy’s donation?

As the Chairman, rather than side tracking the issue, Uthyasooriyan is duty bound to explain the above questions .
