KUCHING:
The rebuilding project committee of SJK Chung Hua Stapok will launch
the first leg of its fund-raising campaign this Oct 30, slated to raise
RM3.5 million for the construction of a new school block (Block B) and a
multi-purpose hall.
“We aim to raise RM200,000 during the
charity ride to be run on Oct 30, and we hope to receive public
donations after the launch,” he told a press conference on the event
here yesterday.
Yian Chai disclosed that Local Government Minister Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian and Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang had pledged RM20,000 and RM10,000, respectively, for the charity ride.
As at yesterday, piling works for Block B had reached completion, Yian Chai added.
On the RM2.5-million multi-purpose hall, he said the committee planned to perform the earth-breaking ceremony on Oct 10.
Meanwhile, Yian Chai expressed his thanks to the anonymous donors for making Block C, which is another new building of SJK Chung Hua Stapok, a reality.
The school, he said, had been facing shortage of classrooms for a couple of years.
“With this new block scheduled to be ready within this year, the school will be able to accept more pupils beginning 2017,” said Yian Chai.
Block C, which is also a four-storey building, has nine classrooms and an administrative office.
The RM1.4-million project, which commenced on Oct 1 last year, was initially scheduled for completion this month but due to a technical problem, it faced a one-month delay.
At present, SJK Chung Hua Stapok houses 380 pupils.
The management had to set up partitions in classrooms in order to run classes.
“The number of new pupils keeps on increasing every year. We are glad that the school will be able to take in more pupils beginning next year,” enthused Yian Chai, extending his gratitude and appreciation to Dr Sim, who had successfully requested for RM500,000 from the Ministry of Finance for the Block C project.
“Dr Sim also helped raise RM72,000 during our charity ride held last Dec 30.
“We would also like to thank UPP (United People’s Party) Batu Kawah chairman Liu Thian Leong for donating RM300,000.”
The charity ride is scheduled to commence at 6am on Oct 30 at the school.
Those wishing to take part are advised to submit their application forms by this Sept 15.
