Deputy Education Minister P. Kamalanathan said: “At the moment, the enrolment in Tamil schools in Penang is the lowest in the country. The community should consider enrolling their children in Tamil schools to make up the numbers before demanding for a secondary school.”
He also asked the Penang government to play its part.
Kamalanathan said this after visiting SK Pendidikan Khas at Alma yesterday.
However, he refused to elaborate when asked on the status of proposals to introduce Tamil secondary schools.
In September, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng sent a letter to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin, who is also the education minister, to assist in setting up a Tamil secondary school in the state.
Lim said the state was willing to allocate land to build the first Tamil secondary school in the country.
