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.

Chinese New Year

It seem that a new year has come and within a few days time, the Chinese will be welcoming the year of the Bull. Mandarin oranges and lion dances are a must to celebrate the Chinese culture that has around for thousand of years.

I would love to see what the school has planned for this Chinese New Year. Last year, there was alot of debates about the lion dance and also suggestion to have the lion dance without the drums. So what has been planned this year. I hope that the school has not forgotten the traditional that has been carried out for so many years.


Have a Happy Chinese New Year .

Farewell to Puan Sow Shiow Feng

I have been briefed that Puan Sow would be leaving SMKBUD4 at the end of December. I like to take this opportunity say thank you for all your have done for the school. Your work and contribution in the school is greatly appreciated by all students and parents.

I like to stress here among all website visitors that Puan Sow is leaving the school due to her own personal committment and is not in any way related to any hidden agenda of any kind.

To the students who have come to know her - please post your greetings to Puan Sow as I am sure she would be glad to hear from all of you. I hope that Puan Sow visit this blog and is able to read all the kind messages that the students and parents will send to her.

Any nasty remarks in any manner would be deleted by the administrator.

To Puan Sow - you will be missed by all who have known you.

PUAN SOW IS LEAVING AND ONLY HAS A FEW COMMENTS. ALL EFFORTS ARE TOWARDS MARCUS.

Message from A Parent

The message from the MR LIM has been removed by the administrator. Mr. Lim has falsely represented himself as a parent who wants to resolve the matter. Instead the MR. LIM is in fact the hand picked HEAD Prefect.

As such the adminstrator feels that MR LIM a.k.a MARCUS is incapable to help in this matter and as such has removed his message.

The administrator wishes to apologize to all visitors to this blog for an oversight in this matter.

Marcus - if you want to help then stop your schoolmates from transfering out of the school.

MARCUS THE MINUTES OF THE AUGUST MEETING AND THE PIBG CONSTITUTION WAS NEVER SEND OUT. NONE OF THE PARENTS I SPOKE TO HAS RECEIVED IT. IF YOU WANT TO HELP AND CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE SEEN IT, PLEASE ASK THE SCHOOL TO MAIL IT OUT TO ALL PARENTS. IF NOT THERE WILL BE A TSUNAMI AT THE NEXT PIBG AGM WHICH YOU WONT BE AROUND TO WITNESS. CALL THE AJK PIBG AND GET THEM TO HELP YOU OUT IF YOU ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT. YOU HAVE VOICED OUT YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HELP AND WOULD BE A BIG SLAP ON YOUR FACE IF NO ACTIONS WERE TAKEN. DONT LEAVE BEHIND A LEGACY AS A PERSON WHO DID NOTHING AND JUST TALK (OR IN THIS CASE "WRITE") ONLY. DONT LET THIS MATTER HAUNT (ie if you failed) YOU BUT RATHER BE PART OF YOUR LIFE ACHIEVEMENT.

Greetings from Administrator

Dear visitors to this website,

The purpose of setting this website is to keep parents, students as well as teachers to be aware of the events that are happening in the school and to bring SMKBUD4 back as the pride of Bandar Utama Damansara.

The objective is to get parents united for a good cause but instead during the “Hari Raya open house” visits. I heard that many of the parents have decided to throw in the towel and transfer their children out. This is indeed a very sad and selfish move. It’s typical of us that we never defend our stand. If this is the intention of the parents then I have wasted my efforts in trying to shape the school back. Many times we tend to take the easy way out and when things go wrong. Does transferring to a new school means that your child will be better of. What if the Pengetua is later transferred to the school where you have just put your child it. Stay back and stand firm and jointly resolve this problem together. At least in SMKBUD4 we know what the issues are.

The webpage is used as a communication tool so that parents are kept updated of what is happening. Instead it’s been abused with foul language and is used to attack one another. This is a much uncivilized act and it only shows how childish we are. Visitors from other schools - please refrain from using abusive language. (I shall delete comments that uses foul language)

Everyone is keen and asked who the administrator is. Some even called me a dog. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me”. So I am a dog – big deal. I will eventually bite back one day.

I have a reason for not reviewing myself and the answer is obvious. Yet some of you still insist that I reveal who I am. I shall do so when the time comes.

My website is not to personally attack an individual but rather to let the individual know of her short comings and hopefully she will take the necessary steps to rectifying the situation of the school and to keep up its good name.

For parents who are still wondering if they should enrol their child in SMKBUD4 starting 2009. The answer is very obvious and it’s a definate YES. It has the most dedicated teachers who place the importance of your child before anything else. You can be assured that this year SPM and PMR examination results will be better than the previous year.

PARENTS WHO ARE TRANSFERING THEIR CHILD OUT FROM THE SCHOOL. THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT YOU HAVE ADMITTED DEFEAT AND YOU NOW ALLOW THE PERSON TO HAVE SUPREME POWER OVER OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN. DONT YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE TO HELP OTHERS.

Message from Administrator

Dear All,

Please note that the purpose and prime objective of this website is to keep parents aware of the situation in the school and what are the shortfalls ahead of us. It is also a mean to ensure that both students and teachers welfare are protected.

I strongly suggest that visitors that have no direct contacts with the school (ex-students are an exception) to stop posting message on the website. I will delete any messages from visitors who are NOT in any way related to the school.

Please do your best to keep up the standard of the school and continuously strive to make SMKBUD4 as the best school in the state of Selangor.

Do write in to Puan Ashah and express your concerns. She is a wonderful lady and will look into our appeal. Dont be scared as we have the rights to complain if something is not good.

It's very ironic to think that:

• We complain to the manager when the food is not good in the restaurant
• We complain and return item we bought that is faulty
• We compalin to the internet provider when the line is down.
• We complain to the mechanic when our car is not repair properly.

AND when our children's education and their future is in trouble we make noise among ourselves and hope that someone will resolve the matters for us. What can be more important than our children future who is now studying in SMKBUD4.

We must not be selfish and just swept this dust under the carpet. We must act immediatley and take the necessary actions and the right thing. As they say "actions speak louder than words". Go into your email account, click Puan Ashah email address and send your complaints to her.

Best wishes to all sitting for the PMR examaination and a big thank you to those who have visited and supported the efforts to improve the education and welfare of the students at SMKBUD4.
