ASAJAYA: Chung Hua schools deserve to be supported as they play a big role in education in the state .
Assistant Minister of Housing Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said Chung Hua schools in Sarawak, especially in rural areas such as Asajaya, are also attended by many non-Chinese.
“For me, I will not want to be indifferent towards Chung Hua schools. Most importantly, these schools also play a role in educating and shaping up our younger generation, for the sake of human capital development in the state,” he said during the 68th SJK Chung Hua Asajaya annual presentation of prizes and certificates.
He pointed out that SJK Chung Hua Asajaya has been in existence since 1948, when Asajaya was still known as Nonok, and played a big role in the development of the area for all communities.
“You see how long this school has been in existence … I believe the achievements made by this school are a source of pride for the locals, and many of its former pupils have succeeded in life.
“One of the special features of this school is promoting the martial art of silat, and some of the pupils have succeeded in it at the state level competitions,” he said.
Abdul Karim also paid tribute to the Chinese community in Asajaya who have contributed immensely to the development of the area despite being small in number.
