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.

Case of the Missing Pengetua

Today I received some news from many parents that the PMR students went back to the school for some briefing last Friday. Most teachers were there to wish the students success in their examination. Puan Lee (in her usual grin and smile) continuously whispered 5 sweet words to the students and the words were “Make sure Get Straight “A”.

I then asked the parents what did the Pengetua said? To my shocking surprise, the Pengetua wasn’t even in school. Apparently she was away in a course and won’t be in school next week during the PMR examination. What kind of Pengetua do we have who put her personal ambition (by attending a course) first instead of her students? She should have asked that she attend the course at a later date or even defer it as she should be around to give moral support to the students. This is also not the first time she does her famous "missing acts".

As such I let me summarize the following and I hope that the Pengetua and all of us will take note.

• Missing during most part of the PIBG 2008 AGM.
• Missing during Hari Bakat.
• Missing at the Cheer Leaders competition.
• Missing from some of the important soccer tournament whereby SMKBUD4 were playing in crucial qualifying matches.
• Missing “Hari Temu Mesra”
• Missing from all the “Majlis Suaikenal PIBG (which she got Puan Rose to provide the "excuse" that it was Puan Rose that requested the Pengetua not to attend)
• Missing most of the time when officers from the kerajaan went to the school to enquire about the complaints raised by the parents.
• Missing in school when parents go there to look for you.
• Missing in school when students are looking for you.
• And NOW the grand finale – Missing when your students are about to sit for the PMR examination and during the week of the PMR examination.
  

Honestly what kind of Pengetua are you. On the 9th August meeting, one parent has pointed out the importance of you (as the Pengetua) to be there to render your support to your students as you would be like a family to them when they are in school. Instead you push these students aside and place your personal goals and ambitions ahead of them. This is indeed very very and extremely SELFISH of you.

With this incident created, the parents and most students would now expect you to be away during the SPM. Maybe after this posting, you will force yourself to stay.

It seem that after the 9th August meeting, you still haven’t change your ways. The minutes of the meeting is still pending or rather MISSING and the PIBG is dead silence and also seem to be MISSING.

The simplest answer to all these problems is to transfer our children out of the school. My reply is why we must let one selfish PERSON make us go through all the trouble of transferring our children when we can UNITE and transfer the PERSON OUT. We cannot be selfish like the Pengetua or we will end up just like her. Transfering our chidren out would only solve our own problem, what about those that stay back in the school. We must also care and consider other students and other parents that still have children studying in the school.

One parent has posted a message as where we can make our complaints about the school. I strongly urge all parents to write in and express your issues to

Puan Ashah bt Samah
ashah.samah@sel.moe.gov

I advise all parents to write to her. She is a very nice person and would welcome your emails even if it’s written in English. We need to update Puan Ashah the urgency of this matter.

Please write to Puan Ashah now and let's unite together and resolve this matter. We must show to the Pengetua that the parents of SMKBUD4 cares and dares.

Message to all Form 3 and Form 5 students

To all the Form 3 students. Study hard and all the best in the PMR examination. Get good results and keep up the good name of SMKBUD4. Do strive to get the maximun "A". I am sure that there would be alot of straight "A" students this year. Come back next year and repeat the same results in 2 years time ie your SPM. Please do NOT consider a transfer out as there are great and very capable teachers in SMKBUD4.

To the Form 5 students. Work hard on your SPM examination and when you leave school, do have good memories especially to all the teachers who have taught and guide you through these 5 years. Never leave the school with any bad feelings. Cherish all the good time you have at SMKBU4 and do keep in touch with your teachers should you go overseas. I am sure there will be alot of successful profesional people in the near future and they all at one time studied in SMKBU4.

To all the teachers - thank you for the patient and time with these students. Your hard work, dedication and committment in this school has been most admirable. Your efforts have been greatly appreciated by all.

To the Pengetua - sorry for asking in public but where is the minutes/report for the 9th August Meeting with the parents. It's already 2 months now and do we have to wait another 4 months before we get it.

The Administrator.
