KUCHING: Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen has allocated a total of RM88,840 to SK St Thomas to upgrade the school’s teachers’ office, including purchasing new desks and furniture to improve the teachers’ office environment.
According to Dr Yii, the existing teachers’ office equipment is quite old, and some are even damaged.
“Therefore, this allocation from my office will help ensure the safe use of these school equipment, especially to ensure that some important documents are properly kept,” he said in a press statement today (June 20).
He added that since being elected as a Member of Parliament, every year he will respond to the request of the school and allocate some funding assistance to the school, so that the students and teachers can benefit from it.
“In 2022, I assisted the school in building a new classroom specially for the Bahasa Cina lesson of the school.
“The classroom is currently being fully used, allowing students and teachers to enjoy a comfortable environment to learn and teach Bahasa Cina. At the same time, I also helped the school build a small room next to the stage for sound control purposes.
“Not only that, my office also provides brand new school uniforms and school shoes for poor students in the school every year through my office’s ‘Back To School Programme’.”
He also said that he appreciates and acknowledges the importance of mission schools, not just on their historical value, and contributions of the past, but also an acknowledgment of their continuing role and value in the society, not just in Sarawak, but the whole of Malaysia.
“We will continue to assist and invest in schools all around our constituency to help provide a more conducive learning environment for our students and teachers.”
