Shoplot Tamil school gets land for own building

UPDATED 8.20PM The by-election has come at the right time for the Lukut Tamil school which has been operating in a shoplot.

Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil Sungai Salak, which has been operating from a two-storey shoplot for the third year, has received a one-hectare plot of land from the government for a school building to be ready in 12 months.

It has also been upgraded to a fully government funded school, MIC vice-president Dr S Subramaniam, who is also Human Resources Minister, said at the site today.
