Melaka still refining proposal to rebrand Chinese school as SJKC Laksamana Cheng Ho
MELAKA: The Melaka government is still refining the proposal to rebrand the name of a Chinese school to Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Laksamana Cheng Ho, in collaboration with any School Management Board (LPS) interested in the state government's initiative. State Education, Higher Education and Religious Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman said that, initially, the State Education Department (JPN) of Melaka held an engagement session with SJKC Jasin Lalang to express the state government's intention to rebrand the school's name, but the majority of parents and the school's LPS disagreed with the proposal. 'The latest proposal sees the Melaka JPN holding engagement sessions with the LPS and Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) committee members of SJKC Simpang Bekoh to present the same idea of rebranding the school's name. 'The school's LPS made several suggestions, including accepting the new name while retaining the original name or accepting the new name without retaining the original, on condition that a School History Room be set up in the new school to store all documents related to the history of SJKC Simpang Bekoh,' he told the Melaka State Legislative Assembly sitting at Seri Negeri here today. Rahmad was replying to a question from Low Chee Leong (PH-Kota Laksamana) who wanted to know about the status of the proposal to rename a school to SJKC Laksamana Cheng Ho as part of efforts to strengthen Melaka-China relations that have existed for over 620 years. He said the engagement session was held with SJKC Simpang Bekoh since the school is categorised as under-enrolled (SKM), with just two Chinese and nine Malay students, besides seven teachers. The state government had previously expressed its intention to rebrand the name of a Chinese school to SJKC Laksamana Cheng Ho to commemorate the spirit of diplomatic ties between Melaka and China.

Ayer Kuning By-election: Disability Not A Hindrance For Orang Asli Woman To Fulfil Civic Duty
REGION - NORTHERN > NEWS TAPAH, April 26 (Bernama) -- Despite being physically disabled since birth, an Orang Asli woman's spirit to fulfil her civic duty remained undeterred as she cast her vote in the Ayer Kuning state by-election today. Dalinah Long, 47, who was born with disabilities affecting both her arms and legs, arrived at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Sungai Kroh at about 7.30 am, accompanied by her niece, Trifena Vhiew Teck Seng, 26. 'I'm happy to vote because it's my right as a citizen. It's also a way to show that the Orang Asli community is becoming more aware and understands the importance of voting for our future,' she told Bernama at the polling centre. bootstrap slideshow Another voter with a disability, S. Puspanathan, 43, also turned up to cast his ballot at the Sekolah Kebangsaan Ayer Kuning polling centre. Puspanathan, who lost both his legs to a bacterial infection last year, arrived in a wheelchair accompanied by his wife, M. Vikkeneswari, 40. He was assisted by Election Commission (EC) officers throughout the voting process to ensure everything went smoothly. 'Even though I am now disabled, I still came to vote. This is my fifth time voting,' he said. Meanwhile, elderly couple Chai Ko Chong, 85, and his wife Loy Mooi Ying, 82, returned to Air Kuning by bus from the federal capital to fulfil their responsibility to elect a new representative in the State Assembly for the constituency. 'Even though we are living in Kuala Lumpur with our children, the responsibility of voting must still be carried out. There is no excuse for me not to come back to vote,' said Chai. A total of 19 polling centres with 63 channels opened simultaneously at 8 am today for the Ayer Kuning by-election. Today's voting process involved 31,281 voters.
