KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has announced an allocation of RM30mil for the development of Chinese national-type secondary schools (SMJK) in the country.

During his address at the MCA annual general assembly here Sunday, Najib said he had discussed the matter with Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also the Education Minister, and they had agreed to grant RM30mil for the schools.

Earlier in his presidential address, MCA chief Datuk Seri Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek had appealed to the Prime Minister for assistance for these schools, saying there was currently no allocation for them.

"There are 78 conforming schools with more than 125,000 students. They should be given an allocation of RM50mil next year," he said.
