Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim slammed newly-minted MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek for accusing the Selangor government of not supporting Chinese vernacular schools and said his government had provided financial assistance for all schools, including Chinese schools, despite this being the federal government's responsibility.
Khalid also explained that the only power the state had was in providing land for schools while funding and the location were still decided by the Education Ministry - thus, Chua should take up the matter (of school expansion) with the minister.
"How many schools have been approved by the federal government but have not gotten the support of the state?" asked Khalid.
