need more Chinese primary school

that Kuala Langat is nearby to Sijang Kang and Kota Kemuning area
whereby these two areas welcome high volume of development.
“Most of the households at new area are filled with younger
generation’s family, which means there’s need of school. Currently
there isn’t any Chinese primary school, hence majority of the students
will travel through a certain distant of traffic to Kota Kemuning or Bukit
Tinggi.”

able to fulfill the needs of local parents and meanwhile children can
avoid studying in crowded environment. The two relocated schools
SJK(C) Chung Hua and SJK(C) Wu Teck has students more than

developments around the area, this led to the upsurge of students.
