PETALING Jaya Selatan (PJS) Wanita MCA division deputy chief Datin Wong Fong Leng (in white) with residents of Petaling Utama having a look at a 1.6ha land where a new Tamil primary school — SJK (T) Tan Sri Manickavasagam — will be built using the Federal Government’s 2012 budget.

Wong said RM6mil had been allocated and the school would cater to the sizeable Indian population in the area. One resident M. Rajoo, said the land must be raised about one metre before the school could be built as there is a river a few hundred metres from the site and there is a possibility of flooding.
