The school board’s chairman, S Selvaraja Chinnasamy, said they made the request for funds to the Prime Minister’s Office on Nov 23 and it was approved speedily.
“We thank the Prime Minister for acting on our request so quickly,” said Selvaraja.
“The money will be used to purchase eight acres of land in Batang Melaka, Jasin, about 30km from the school’s present location in Ladang Tebong, Alor Gajah, which was built in 1991.
“On our part, we would be raising funds for a school field, construction of a multi-purpose hall and an institution for religious activities,” he added.
The finance ministry, which is also under Najib, has stipulated three conditions on the school board in relation to the grant.
