But the Tamil media reported that most of the 523 Tamil schools are facing a shortage of classrooms. Worst still no tables and chairs, computers, library books, proper sports equipment for these schools and the pre existing poor Indian parents have to chip in to buy this for their school going children.And the Indian pupils at the Ladang Labu Tamil school are to study at five cabins (The Star 5/1/10 at page N13)
