MIRI: The RM7mil-plus allocation given by the Federal Government to Sarawak Chinese schools this year is not enough to cover the needs of the 222 Chinese primary and secondary schools in the state.

Sarawak United Peoples Party (SUPP) president Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian said his party found that many Chinese schools in the state required more money to facilitate infrastructure repairs on run-down school blocks.
