Two schools left to run without headmasters
TWO Tamil schools in Hulu Selangor have not had their headmasters replaced for some time, Malaysia Nanban reported.
SJK(T) Ladang Kalumpang's headmistress retired and was sent off with a small celebration in March.
However, the parents did not expect to be still waiting for a replacement nearly four months later, the daily reported.
Meanwhile, SJK(T) Ladang Kerling's headmaster was transferred three weeks ago but the position still remains empty.
Both schools' assistant headmasters were left in charge but they are not authorised to make any decisions and have to rely on the district education office.
> Twenty-two trained Carnatic students gathered for a record setting seven-hour concert on the steps of the Batu Caves Temple, Malaysia Nanban reported.
The event was organised by Ipoh-based Swaralaya Sangeetha Kalalayam.
They sang 272 verses from the 14th century Tamil hymns known as Thiruppugazh, one for each of the 272 steps of the iconic temple.
