KUCHING: Education is a necessary asset that needs to be bequeathed to children even if we cannot afford other luxuries, said Sarawak Bumiputera Teachers Union (KGBS) president Ahmad Malie.

He said that one who possesses knowledge will have the power to change their fate in the future.

“Therefore, KGBS concur with the recent statement made by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg who emphasised on the importance of mastering education in order to address the issue of poverty in society.

“We are of the same opinion that the children need to be given proper education starting from an early age,” he said on Sunday (Jan 10).

Ahmad further urged all parents to always be mindful of their children’s education regardless of whether the family belongs to the less privileged group or not.

Parents, he pointed out, should use every opportunity available to raise their children without neglecting their education.

He also called upon relevant authorities and the community as a whole to continue organise programmes that could provide awareness to parents regarding the importance of education for their children.

“If the awareness can be sculpted in the spirit of every parents, KGBS is confident that this situation will be able to change the family’s fortunes in the future,” he said.
