BUKIT BERUNTUNG: The RM6mil SJKC Bukit Tangga here is set to open its doors in January with 250 pupils, said Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.
The school, which will cater for the growing population here and nearby areas, will be a relief for many parents and their children.
“Prior to this, the children would have to travel about 20km to the Chinese school in Serendah, and their parents had to pay about RM100 a month for the transport,” Dr Wee said, after visiting the school here yesterday.
Dr Wee said the community’s wish to have a school here became reality when Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced in January that a plot of land valued at RM3mil would be allocated for the school.
The ministry had provided a RM3mil direct grant to the school board to build the school and Muhyiddin performed the groundbreaking ceremony in April.
Dr Wee also visited SJKC Kalumpang, Kerling, near here yesterday to present RM300,000 to the school board.
The money would be used to build a new block for the school.
