Rot in system: Teachers suffer, cronies benefit, warns Nie Ching

The plight of proxy teachers is symptomatic of a debase in not usually a Education Ministry though t! he entir e BN administration.

Recently, up to 7,000 proxy teachers have been shortchanged by a government, as their 'contract of service' have been altered to a 'contract for service'so as to 'exempt' a Ministry from profitable EPF contributions, bonuses, maternity benefits as well as alternative simple benefits which volume to RM200 per teacher per month.

The Education Ministry is lamenting which it is lacking in a monetary resources to make those payments. By stripping RM200 per month from each proxy teacher, a year's savings would volume to merely RM16.8 million a small fraction of a amounts which have been mislaid in wastages as well as hurtful practices inherent in a system.

Till now, a problem has sojourn unsolved despite repeated assurances from Deputy Education Minister Datuk Ir. Dr. Wee Ka Siong. Therefore, I would like to put forward a proposal.

New villages

In a tsunami of Mar 8, 2008, apart from Barisan Nasional's detriment of energy in 5 states, an 'inexplicable' materialisation also took place.

Village Development as well as Security Committees or Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung (JKKK) have existed for as prolonged as BN has been in power, as well as a cabinet members of a JKKK have been allocated by a state governments. The conduct of a cabinet is commonly known as a encampment conduct or ketua kampung.

After a 12th GE in 2008, you not usually have a JKKK though a federal! governm ent shaped a really own 3,231 Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan! Kampung Persekutuan (JKKKP). Why is which so?

After a BN mislaid energy in 5 states, it was rarely indignant over a detriment of influence in rural areas as well as New Villages, as well as quickly determined a JKKKP as well as allocated BN members as well as supporters to conduct these committees. Therefore, in Pakatan Rakyat states, you have a encampment conduct as well as a 'federal' encampment head. Such an ludicrous as well as weird incident does not exist in BN states!

The state of Perak offers a classic example of this silly setup. After a events of Mar 8, BN determined 815 JKKKPs in Perak. After a wrong as well as antagonistic energy grab of 2009 which succeeded in BN wresting back carry out of a state, a JKKKP was soon disbanded in June 2009.

Presently, there have been 1899, 142, 381 as well as 765 JKKKPs in Kedah, Penang, Selangor as well as Kelantan respectively. The cabinet members not usually have 'official' JKKKP name tags though they have been also remunerated with monthly allowances. A chairperson as well as a cabinet member have been paid RM800 as well as RM200 respectively in further to a monthly meeting allowance of RM100. Committee members who attend meetings embrace RM50 each.

These allowances look insignificant at initial glance though when one adds it all up, it is a huge amount. From 2008 compartment today, a sovereign supervision has outlayed a staggering RM137,802,059 on these 'clone' committees.

All because of BN paranoia

If this large total of income has proven to be income well outlayed as well as of great value, afterwards this output need not be a large concern. But as a organizational make up as well as functions of a JKKKP is really similar to a JKKK, setting up a transcribe cabinet is definitely a rubbish of taxpayers' money.

By setting up JKKKPs in Pakatan states, it shows which BN cannot accept a defeat in GE12 as well as will do whatever it can to yield an 'official' channel for a use of income politics ! as well as grassroots work in rural areas.

Just consider about this. If a benefaction allocation for JKKKPs can be diverted to these proxy teachers, there would be more than enough to cover a price of their remuneration as well as simple practice benefits, in further to maintaining a benefaction scheme. This would positively improve a lives of proxy teachers, many of whom put in as many hours as qualified teachers.

The question is, is BN ready to scapegoat enriching their cronies for a great of typical Malaysians?
