Anpulla Thamil Innaiya Nanbargale,
The state of Tamil society in Malaysia is really sad. In the area of language schooling, the Chinese community led by very respected Chinese Community Education Group, Dong Jiao Zong, do hundred-fold better job pro-rata than the Tamil community does. The Tamils are stuck on a handout mentality, the Chinese take risks, make money and have more than enough to fend for themselves and their community.
They stand up for their rights more. They realise that time and lobbying costs money and contribute generously to it. They realise that not contributing to it, will cost Chinese society even more. The Chinese mind is not servant-like, i.e. not anti-symbiosis. Nor are they as dualistically warped, with a nice dose of religious opium to hide it, as the Tamils. They are not as text-book driven -- they are more "feeling" and "gut instinct" driven.
Thanks to the Chinese-Malaysians, there is some lobby against the sneaky, back-door destruction of Tamil schools. Savvy human beings know that much harm brought on by vested interests is not done in front, but through back-door ways.

Press Statement By Dong Jiao Zong (DJZ) In Response To The Opening of Vision School In USJ
1) DJZ reiterates its firm opposition to the Vision School. From the inception of the concept to its implementation, Vision School is based on the wrong premise that the existence of current segregated schools having various mediums of instruction hinders national integration. On the contrary, the unfair policies practiced by the government are the root cause that impedes national integration.
2) Since Independence, the government has been marginalizing and curtailing the development of Chinese and Tamil schools. For decades, the vernacular schools have been facing the problems of under-funding, poor facilities, insufficient teachers and overcrowding. The current situation in Subang Jaya/USJ is a clear example.
3) In order to ease the pressure for the demand of additional Chinese schools by the communities, the government opted for the Vision School. Through the Vision School program, the government will implement a new system of school administration and structure to gradually achieve its ulterior motive of having mono-lingua education policy. To the Chinese and Indian communities, despite having various modifications to the concept, the ulterior objective of the Vision School to have one language of medium of instruction remains unchanged.
4) DJZ firmly believes that the Vision School in USJ 15 is different from the existing Chinese schools in its administration, modus operandi and its legal status. The Chinese community must closely monitor the situation, comprehensively understands the bitter historical background, the intention and ulterior motives of Vision School. Parents should heed the calls of the majority of Chinese community and for the sake of future Chinese education, NOT send their children to the Vision school. At the same time, the government must, in densely populated Chinese areas, build more Chinese schools. DJZ urges all facets of the community to exercise their basic democratic rights, as enshrined under the Constitution, to oppose the move to build Vision School and demand instead for more Chinese schools.
