What is the status of the RM12 million allocation for Chinese schools?

Question

Accepted Answer

The RM12 million allocation for private secondary Chinese schools was a direct fund from the Ministry of Finance.

The RM12 million designated for private secondary Chinese schools was a special fund that bypassed the Ministry of Education and was directly channelled by the Ministry of Finance. This allocation was part of the broader RM652 million approved under the 2019 Budget for the maintenance and upgrading of various school types.
Direct Ministry of Finance Funding

The RM12 million was not an allocation from the Ministry of Education. Instead, it was a specific fund channelled directly to the private secondary Chinese schools by the Ministry of Finance. This distinction clarifies the source and administrative route of these funds.
Part of the 2019 Budget Allocation

This RM12 million was specifically earmarked for private Chinese secondary schools within the larger RM652 million budget approved for school maintenance and upgrading in the 2019 Budget. The overall budget encompassed diverse educational institutions, including national schools, national-type Chinese and Tamil schools, religious schools, and boarding schools.
Clarification on Other Allocations

In contrast to the direct Ministry of Finance fund, an allocation for the maintenance of national-type Chinese schools mentioned by a deputy minister was approved for 2018, not 2019. Funds for the 2018 period had to be disbursed to the respective School Governing Boards before the closure of the 2018 financial accounts.
