The state government today presented the Sarawak United Association of Private Chinese Secondary Schools Management Board a total of RM7 million annual grant and a piece of land in Miri for development.

Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg, who presented the cheque at Sekolah Menengah Min Lit Batu Kawa, said he had fulfilled his promise of adding another RM1 million this year.

He also announced an additional RM500,000 to assist SM Min Lit school which was based in Batu Kawa for a new classroom block.

He said the State government will always assist Chinese independent schools as Education is vital and the government needs to help these schools, as there are Bumi students in these schools and everyone can work and study together.

Abang Jo said the Miri land will be an asset for the Association to raise funds for all 14 private Chinese schools under its jurisdiction.
