It is heartening to know that our leaders to care. In the NST today it is reported that the Chief Minister of Penang critized the developer, Motif Era for it action.
More importantly is what next? Can State Government do something positive and give priority to the education process of the children affected.
Children Not Important-lah (Jan 6, 2006)
Or is it that learning is not important.Or where is the heart? If you have read the story of SJK (C) Sin Chuan in Butterworth and how the developer, the owners of the land tried to tear down the school to make way for a "mixed development" (read: more money to make, school does not matter), you will begin to wonder where is the heart of the owner if this developer.
If anyone who lived in Seremban can recall, about 10 years ago a similar situation happened to the Tamil school of Convent Seremban. The poor primary schools students were still in the school when the workers began dismantaling the school. What happened in Butterworth is not the first time.
Executing the court's judgement almost immediately - giving little chance for any appeal to be made? Tearing the school down - while classes are going on? What is this? Never mind if the developers have rights to the land. Never mind if there are only 49 students there. How can they do this while classes are going on?
Couldn't the developers have done it during the school hoildays and give notice to the parents and schools? Maybe they have done that but. Maybe there were resistence but going ahead to tearing a school down on the third day of school with kids inside?
What's the priority? Where is the heart? WHERE IS THE HEART?
