No need to submit pay slips, tax forms

NST

KUALA LUMPUR: Parents do not have to submit their pay slips and income tax returns to schools.
"It is a sensitive and confidential matter to some parents," Education Ministry school department deputy director-general Datuk Noor Rezan Bapoo Hashim said.

She said only those parents applying for government aid for their children would be asked to submit these documents.

Noor Rezan said she had briefed all headmasters on this last year.

Similar complaints were received from parents during the beginning of the school term last year.
Noor Rezan said she was aware that despite the ministry's clarification, some schools were still asking all parents to submit pay slips and income tax returns this year.

"The ministry will send a reminder to all schools," she said.

Previously, the ministry usually asked for such details only when parents were applying for aid or if they want their children to be included in the text book loan scheme.

Those who have neither a pay slip nor an income tax J form were asked to "provide an income declaration form verified by the employer, a Grade A civil servant, commissioner for oaths, a justice of the peace, a village head or other community heads".

Other details requested were the names of the parents' employers, address, their income tax number, basic monthly pay and information related to the child's transportation to school. |more...|

No2umnO - Masa aku dapat arahan dari sekolah meminta SLIP Gaji dan dokumen menjadikan aku rasa sedikit pelik. Semua dapat bantuan buku dan tiada isu untuk meminta bantuan lagi. Selama ini memang Kementerian yang suruh minta. Bila arahan macam itu, pihak sekolah pun tak banyak soal, buat tanggung jawab semberono. Cikgu cikgu patut kena fikir dulu, mana yang logik dan tidak logik. Nak tunggu arahan baru buat? Kalau semua sekolah macam ni, susahlah. Baik upah robot untuk buat kerja.

Datuk Noor Rezan Bapoo Hashim pun buat kerja macam nak tak nak. Orang dah bising baru nak terfikir. Ini lah masalahnya kalau takut nak guna tanggung jawab. Tak kreatif langsung. Jangan sampai ibu bapa lebih pandai dari guru besar. Sepatutnya apa pun arahan, kena keluar sebelum buka sekolah. Kenapa soal Pakej Tambahan cukup cepat Kementerian buat pekeliling, tapi soal dokumen ibu bapa dan kini tentang tarik balik yuran tambahan .... bila nak keluar pekeliling? Jangan harap ibu bapa datang tagih duit. Tak syok la. Tak kan DAH kena tibai baru buat.
