Rebuilding Of S.K St. Mark Perai


Sekolah Kebangsaan St Mark Perai was founded in 1936. The school which is under the B Grade of The Ministry Of Education Is Waiting for approval to rebuild the school. A new building committee was set up under the patronage of the Former Batu Kawan MP, Huan Cheng Guan and myself as the Vice Chairman . The proposal was handed over to the Minister of Education and 6 Related Departments on last year ( by hand ) and we have not received any feedback. Our first trip to Putrajaya was on December 2006 and On the 1st week of September 2007. Together with a few friends, I went down to Putrajaya to submit the proposal for the second time. The school started facing flood problems since the surrounding area was developed by the unconcerned developer, Prima Perai Sdn Bhd.

With Apartments, Shop lots, Supermarkets and a upcoming 5 Star hotel, it have caused the shool to be on a lower ground. Whenever it rains, Evan for an hour, the whole school gets flooded causing the school session to be called off. While waiting for the school to be renovated, YB. Huan allocated some fund for the school compound to be raised and 2 pump to be fixed which now has clearly solve the flood problem temporarily.

We have received funds from Malayan Sugar Manufacturing Co Perai ( RM 100k ), Kuok Foundation ( RM 100k ) and From the Education Ministry through Huan ( RM 100k ). Our last meeting which was held on 1st April 2008 have decided that we will be starting up to build the first 2 blocks and the washroom which will be built by the Lions Club. We will be applying to the Education Ministry for the 3rd time to rebuild the 1st block into double story. I and my team will be heading down to Putrajaya by end of this month.
We would like to request to those who want to donate could contact the school at 04 - 390 2179. We are also on the process on registering the Ex Students Association and the former students are requested to contact the school.
