Published by SchoolAdvisor | Mar 14, 2013
In Selangor, 1,888 parents filed a summons against the state government. They demand arrears of around RM1.038 million for the government's failure to provide preschool aid to their children as promised in the 2008 general election manifesto.
These parents include residents of Gombak, Ampang, Pandan, Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya Selatan, Kuala Selangor and Tanjong Karang.
On behalf of the group led by housewife Sarina Hashim, 35, Tetuan Kamarudin & Partners filed the summons at Shah Alam High Court today.
The plaintiffs' lawyer, Kamarudin Ahmad, after filing the claim, said the state government in their manifesto promised to give preschoolers RM50 each month, but had not done so until now.
They named the Selangor government consisting of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), PAS and DAP as the first defendant and Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, who is the state government chief executive, as the second defendant.
