The Similarities

The similarities between Hari Bakat and Cheer is that neither of them received any encouragement or support from the Pengetua.

This post has been re-written from to focus on another traditional school event that must be carried on - The Cheer Leaders.

The students have been practising daily at the assembly under the hot sun for many hours to perfect their routine. Please give them the support needed to ensure that this year, they will not make any mistakes at the final and win the prize for the school.

Dear Pengetua please note that if they win, the credit and honour goes to you and not otherwise.

The NEED to support Hari Bakat and Cheer

Hey Puan Pengetua ( I know for a fact you are reading this so here is my message, for the teachers who are reading this in the school, please let your BOSS know about this message).

I just read from my blog that none of the teachers are promoting the cheer this year. This will prompt me to investigate if you have anything to do with it. Last year during the cheer competition, your school (Please remember that SMKBUD4 is your school) appeared in the press and students from your school were even interviewed and Justin promise that this year they will come back with a greater force to win the competition. There was also a color photo of the students supporting the team. Please DON’T screw it up this year? What have you got against Cheer? If it was bad the Ministry would have banned it years ago. Instead it's being held in a very impressive venue. For goodness sake, what kind of modernised woman are you? We are in the 21st Century and you are still living in the Stone Age.

The "Hari Bakat" is over. A big thanks to all the students and parents who came and supported this event and also for making this event possible. To the students who participated and work so hard for this day, your performance was simply fantastic and greatly appreciated. Oh yes, thanks to all the teachers who organised this event and a huge an tremendous big thank you to the Pengetua for NOT showing up (this was expected and anticipated by many). The students behaved extremely well and there was no misbehaviour reported.

For the 2 days of the cheer competition , go in force to support your school. If the school is NOT able to provide the transport as before, then ask your parents or take the LRT or a Taxi to Bukit Jalil and support the team as before. If the support is low and the team doesnt perform well, the Pengetua will have another excuse to scrap the cheer totally. Parents please help your children and their classmates and schoolmates to attend this event and make it successful. Last year the school was awarded the best crowd support and the last thing we want this year is to be known as the worse crowd support. To the girls of the cheer team, make this the best that you have. Perform like never before and make history for the school. To the cheer team, 2008 is your year - go out there and show the rest of the schools in Malaysia what you are capable of. Win it as a tribute to the 1st Pengetua for having the vision that the cheer team of SMKBU4 will one day be the talk of other schools. To the teachers who have supported the cheer team, you have the sincere and deepest appreciation from all parents - keep it up for they are here to support you as well.

And lastly Pengetua please respect the students so that you can earn respect from them. On the request to meet the parents. Dont break it into groups. Fix a time, meet all of them and clear all issues on hand. Hiding and running away would only shows that you have something to hide. If you are innocent - then why should you be afraid. Fix a date - meet the parents all at once and resolve all matters. There is no need for newsletter as it cost money.

The Questionable Malam Bakat or is it Hari Bakat

The Hari Bakat is over and was well attended by parents, students, ex-students and friends. The performers did exceptionally well and they certainly deserve all the credits for making this event possible.

There was NO misbehaviour conduct among the students before, during and after the event. The Pengetua has certainly proven her point in avoiding any parents - She DID NOT turn out. Regardless of any reasons to be given, the Pengetua should have at least be present as this is her school and anything else is secondary.

The Pengetua escaped another confrontation and live again another day.

Message to the PIBG Chairman and the Committee Members.

Dear Mr. Tony Siu and the Committee Members of the PIBG,

I created this blog so that parents can voice their concerns over the school. Since then alot of postings have been made pertaining to the Pengetua whereby NON was favourable.

In the last PIBG meeting alot of questions were raised especially to the huge expenditure on the beautification of the school. The parents asked alot of questions and it was left to a poor PIBG Committee member to answer them. The Pengetua was no where in sight. Because it was getting late we all respected the PIBG Committee member's suggestion to end the meeting as it was approaching 7pm and to call another meeting whereby the Pengetua can be present.

In the PIBG meeting, we were also told that there was a sponsor to build a shelter over the assembly area. The money was supposed to come from the advertising signboard. I have no idea what has happened to this sponsorship.

Till now there is no news of such meeting with her. I heard from some parents that some of the teachers in the school (especially the Non Malays) are fearful of her and are now scared to say anything. Students are getting frustrated and parents patients are running out fast.

Who I am is not important at this time. What I am doing is important as my one and only concern is the well being of all the students in the school.

Mr Tony Siu, I know you are a very busy man and through the grapevine I came to know that you are spending alot of time in East Malaysia. For the future of the students and the school, I appeal to you and your elected committee to organise this meeting so that all issues will be resolved. Tell the Pengetua that she cant keep playing this hide and seek game. A few days after the AGM, the Pengetua told the students to take all their enquiries to the PIBG. I feel that this is very unfair as she is the Pengetua and should be presence to answer questions just like what Puan Liu has done before. I am sure the parents are not here to crucify her but rather want to have a clearer explanation on the way things have been done. Why is she so afraid of the parents? To me only the guilty ones are afraid. The innocent are never afraid.

Please help the students and their parents so that in return the parents can help the school.

I thank you in advance in getting this matter resolved.

The case of the Plasma TV

Yesterday I have to stop by the school to pick up my children. Upon entering the foyer I noticed that the Plasma TV that was installed at the foyer quite some time ago was not there. Being nosey I asked a student walking by where the school has re-located the "plasma TV" and he quietly whispered to me that the TV was stolen. I was shocked to hear this.

I am furious here as why NO extra precaution was taken to ensure that the TV cannot be easily dismantled. I am sure that with the RM90K spend on beautification, a small amount can be allocated to ensure the safety of equipment especially when it's outside the office. Hey Pengetua, be careful of the fountain's water pump. I am sure some one is eyeing on it now.

Just a word of precaution here, please dont have any ideas of replacing the Plasma TV as I am sure many parents would not support this idea.

Message to the Honorable Pengetua of SMKBUD4

To Puan HJH. ZABEDAH BT HJ. ABBAS

I am sure that you are aware of this “BLOG” and you cannot simply deny its existence. I am appealing to you to hold a meeting with the parents of the students to iron out all issues raised. As the administer of the website, my intentions were to ensure the good name of the school and the well being of the all the students. It was never meant to directly or indirectly attack anyone. What surprise me were the negative comments that came out.

Once again, I appeal to you and with the assistance from the P.I.B.G to organize a “get together” with the parents. I am sure the parents would like to meet up with you in the most friendly manner to discuss matters that concerned their children and the school they loved so much.

Do it neither for the sake of the parents nor the sake of anyone’s ego but rather for the well being of the all students. Both the PMR and SPM are months away and it’s best to resolve this matter so that there will no longer be any dissatisfaction among all concerned.

I am sure you can find the time in your busy schedule to meet them and they would definately accomodate your timing.

Students of the school, please do not let out your frustration here as this is not the intention of the "blog". Rather you should persuade and ask your Pengetua to meet with your parents to smoothen this matter before the situation gets worse.

Use the "blog" to encourage your Pengetua to meet with your parents as attacking her would only make her avoid and delay the meeting more. I am sure there are some nice things you can say about her.

Puan Pengetua, some students of the school has expressed their feeling freely as they love the school and proud to be part of the school. Please view this as their freedom of expression and not to be taken NEGATIVELY in any manner.

Thank You
