PERAK BUDGET 2012: RM31MIL FOR EDUCATION SECTOR

The Perak State Budget 2012 saw a big chunk of the development expenditure allocated for Education sector.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir announced during the State Assembly sitting today that an allocation totalling RM31mil was set aside in the education sector involving purchasing of equipment, facility and education loan.

It was part of the continuous efforts to turn the Perak into a knowledge-based state.

An allocation of RM3.5mil has been set aside for mind mapping programme, which is designed to help students in secondary schools to excel in Science and Mathematics. The programme would be carried out by Yayasan Perak and KPerak.

The Gemilang Tuition Programme, run by Yayasan Perak would be continued next year. Dr Zambry said while adding that another RM1mil has been set aside to provide tuition to secondary students.

A sum of RM10mil has been allocated by the state in the form of bursary (dermasiswa) to assist student financially in pursuing their studies in the higher learning institutions, an increase of RM2mil compared with the 2011 budget.

Meanwhile students, who failed to obtain any form of sponsorship or loan from any other sources, can apply for a scholarship from the state.

The state has allocated a total of RM5mil for the purpose. It is to be made available for students of all races.

The 2012 budget has also an allocation of RM1mil for a Special Education Fund for Indian students.

Similar funds amounting to RM500,000 has also been set aside for children of the Orang Asli community.

The fund is part of the state government’s continuous efforts in to ensuring that children from all races get proper education.

Finding the right balance in academic and holistic development for average young pupils from poorer families with the aim to create excellent and rounded individuals for the future is what the Perak state government aims to achieve through its Asrama Amanjaya project.

For the 2012 budget, the state has allocated a sum of RM3mil from its development expenditure for the project.

It hopes to create conducive environment for average Year 5 and 6 pupils from poorer families to become achievers.

Asrama Amanjaya not only helps provide educational and physical facilities to pupils whose families can ill afford, it is equipped with modern study needs that cater to current needs as well as decent living facilities for them.

“The state government has agreed to set up two Asrama Amanjaya in Taiping and Ipoh,” he said.

Dr Zambry added the hostel in Taiping has started operation with its first batch of students expected in January next year but the state is yet to identify the suitable location for the one in Ipoh.

“The RM3mil allocation is meant for both of these hostels,” he said.

The budget also saw an allocation of RM7mil to continue assistance to the missionary, vernacular as well as Maahad Tahfiz in the state.

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.

The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that's red and has thorns."

"Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, that's the one," replied the man.

He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?

Men, be afraid, very very afraid

Behind every successful woman is herself

Oh my god, I think I’m becoming the man I wanted to marry!

Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels

A woman is like a tea bag...you don't know how strong she is until you put her in hot water

I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career

So many men, so few who can afford me

Coffee, chocolate, men ... Some things are just better rich

Don't treat me any differently than you would the queen

I’m out of estrogen and I have a gun

Warning: I have an attitude and I know how to use it

Of course I don't look busy... I did it right the first time

Do not start with me. You will not win

All stressed out and no one to choke

I can be one of those bad things that happens to bad people

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

Don't upset me! I'm running out of places to hide the bodies

And last but not least:


If you want breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen

TSteve had suffered from blinding headaches for many years, since his late teens. He decided to try one last time to remedy his situation, and went to see a headache specialist.

The doctor said, "Good news is I can cure your headaches.
The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache.

The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Steve was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.

When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.

As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need a new suit." Steve entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see ... size 44 long."

Steve' laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Steve tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Steve admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?"

Steve thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Steve and said, "Let's see .. 34 sleeve and 16 and a half neck."

Steve was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Steve tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Steve adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?"

Steve was on a roll and said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Steve's feet and said, "Let's see... 9-1/2 E."

Steve was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Steve tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. As Steve walked comfortably around the shop the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"

Steve thought for a second and said, "Sure."

The salesman stepped back, eyed Steve's waist and said, "Let's see size 36."

Steve laughed, "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 32 since I was 18 years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 32. A 32 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."
