A New Hope

Just last week, an announcement was made in the school that a new Pengetua would be coming to SMKBUD4. This is come as a surprise to many parents, students and even teachers. The new Pengetua is a Mr Teh formerly from SMK Sri Kembangan. It's rumoured that he is a no nonsense Pengetua who is out to build a good reputation for the school and ensuring that the school will achieve the best examination results.

To Mr Teh, I am sure that you will find SMKBUD4 a lovely school to be in with the best and most helpful parents. It has a good team of teachers who contunuously strive to ensure that the students are able to achive the best examination results.

To Puan Zabedah, all the best to you in your new school and thank you for the efforts you have contributed last year to maintain the good name of the school.

Now the school has a new Pengtua, I trust that all parents will support Mr Teh.

It seem that the PIBG will be holding an AGM soon. I appeal to all parents to attend this AGM and support the AGM. It came to my attention that some AJK didnt even attend AJK meetings last year. A very important thing to do is to vote for candidates who are able to contribute in the PIBG. Do NOT elect candidate who has NEVER attended any meetings or ONLY have attended one or two meetings. Do NOT repeat last year's mistake. It seem that last when parents were in need of assistance, a few AJKs didnt even bother to response to their needs.

A special thanks to all parents, teachers and students who have contributed to this website with the objective to ensure that the education standard of the school is maintained.

Have a good AGM and an exciting 2009.

Enough is Enough

I urge all parents, teachers and students to be united to improve the situation of the school. Let's face one very important fact and that is SHE (the Pengetua) is going to stay and for a long time. There is a unique saying that "it's better to work with the devil you know than the Angel you dont know". Rather than trying to get her out, lets ensure she listens to what the parents, teachers and students need and also do something positive to the school.

Last year a few parents decided to transfer their children out of the school. This is not an option to choose as it simply means defeat. I also received sources that some teachers have voiced up their dissatisfaction on the school but was turn a deaf ear. So what are can we do?

Please unite and say it out loud with a single and common voice that the school needs improvement and see if the pillar she has is really that strong. Dont forget, even the Roman empire was brought down to its knee in the course of history. Even Hilter with his mass army and war machines fail to conquer Europe.

Dont write on this blog, send emails instaed as the Pengetua also log onto this blog to see what is happening. The best defend is when she doesnt know what we are up too. I am sure that parents, teachers and even students know one another email address. Instead of wasting time sending "chain mails" giving false hope of winning lottery and getting rich within the next 48 hours - why dont you spend the time to communicate with each other - share the facts - compare notes and come up with a workable solution to resolve this matter.

All these comments bitching and attacking her simply makes her the victim as as such will enable her to gain support as she is being victimised. Let's work in the Dark and come up with a solution whereby she can no longer defend.

And lastly to the PIBG - where are you?

The Year Before and 2009

Last year there was alot of issues raised but as time goes on, the Pengetua was given a chance to redeem herself. A few issues still pending.

The computer class or rather Cyber Club has been dissolved. If not mistaken, this action was necessary to prevent students from logging onto undesirable sites. The question is this, wouldnt you prefer the students to stay in school surfing the internet under control conditions (ie with allowed sites) than for them to hang around some cyber cafe in town. This was debated heavily during the previous Pengetua and in the end it was decided to have the cyber club so that more students are encourage to use the computer and to do so within the school environment.

Last year there was huge debate and arguement on the "Bakat Malam". It was then switched to "Hari Bakat" with a huge success. From reliable source - it seem that this year the "BAKAT" thing has been totally cancelled. The word BAKAT simply means talent. Wouldn't the school wants to explore the talents of the students. What is wrong with a few dances and band performances. If this is bad - then we should also ban all concerts (local and oversesa artist), stopped the sales of CDs, banned MTV from airing through Astro and lastly banned all radio stations from playing any form of music. The BAKAT event is a traditional event held in the school and it's look forward to by many students and parents.

For the Chinese New Year lion dance - I have already said my peace. Reports arised was that there is insufficient funds to carry out this event. I dont want to bring up last year issue on the spending of the PIBG funds on unncessary item.
