Taiping folk baffled over decision


Controversial: The 3D Chinese characters of Nga’s name and position on the wall of the new block of SJK (C) Sin Min in Simpang, Taiping.

TAIPING: People in Taiping are surprised that a new block of a Chinese primary school in Simpang near here is named after Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Nga Kor Ming.

They felt that despite Nga helping to secure a RM220,000 grant for SJK (C) Sin Min from the Education Ministry, this did not warrant his name being affixed to the building as the funds were from the ministry.
