:Support government's effort in boosting education: Liew

TAWAU: Parents are told to continue their effort to help the school their children are studying as such support will also help the government’s effort in enhancing the development of education in the country.

Commanding officer for the 516th Regiment of the Territorial Army and ex-Minister of Youth and Sport Sabah Brigadier General Datuk Liew Yun Fah said this in his opening speech of the 12th Annual General Meeting of the school’s Parents’ Teachers’ Association (PTA) of SM Teknik recently citing that the success of their children through the effort by the government would not be in vain.

He said that government through its Minister of Education Dato’ Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein is giving a concrete support and implementation through various ways in the education of their children but parents must also play a part in complimenting the effort.

`Without the strong support by parents, government’s effort will not go smoothly because we as parents are taking risk in the future of our children by not supporting the effort’, Liew who is the foster father of the school stated in the event held recently attended by some 600 parents held at the school’s hall.

At the same time he also urges parents on the need to give their support through their respective PTA association so that they can help their schools more effectively. `At the same time, every association is strong when they have a strong fund and I urge parents to fortify their association’s fund by giving generously.

Liew’s request on solidifying the fund had resulted in the collection of over RM7,500 collected from parents, teachers and Liew himself.
