New kindergarten for Sungai Choh children

GETTING A HEADSTART: Kamalanathan with pre-school children at the launch of the new kindergarten

Children in Sungai Choh, near here, will have a chance to get a sound preschool education following the opening of a kindergarten, yesterday.

Officially opened by Hulu Selangor MP, P. Kamalanathan, the kindergarten in SJKT Ladang Sungai Choh will cater for children between the ages of four to seven.

"The kindergarten will help provide the children an early start in education. The government spent RM120,000 to build the kindergarten and small playground," he said.

Under the Hulu Selangor constituency, he said there were a total of nine Tamil schools and only five had pre-schools and the government would be building another Tamil school in Serendah.

He said the tender to build the school has been closed and the Education Ministry is evaluating the tenders before giving out the contract.

During his speech at the opening of the kindergarten, Kamalanathan reminded them that Barisan Nasional keeps its promises and most of the pledges made during the by-election have been kept.
