In many nations, in many cultures, in many ages, SCHOOLS have always been treated as the 'sacred places' for Learning, Education, and Development of Mankind. Children go to schools to learn more knowledge, more skills, also better values so that they will be better human being when they grown up. Therefore, we must always ensure that our schools teach the best knowledge, most relevant skills, and also right values to our children.Sadly, the school that many of us were nurtured in Subang Jaya to be the better person we are now has been corrupted and polluted : Sekolah Menangah Kebangsaan Subang Utama (formerly Subang Jaya 2) or SMKSU.
HANNAH BANNED FROM REUNION
Our dear ADUN YB Hannah Yeoh, former Head Prefect of SMKSU 1995/96, also one of our best students, and the role model of our children has been discriminated and being barred from Prefects' Reunion of SMKSU this year by some teachers. The latest update is that existing prefects and other school teachers who attend this event will also be sacked.Read Original Posting here! http://hannahyeoh.blogspot.com/2008/06/smksu-prefects-reunion.html

BAD EXAMPLE OF TEACHERS
Since when the SCHOOLS or TEACHERS or even STUDENTS are allowed to choose side on Political Parties? If the Teachers are to choose side, they should be siding the TAX PAYORS who are paying their salary! Schools and Teachers are suppose to stay independent and uphold integrity so that school children will be properly educated in all right aspects of knowledge, skills and values.
From this incident, we clearly sees that the few teachers of SMKSU who ordered such 'ban' are not qualified to teach or work in schools! They do not know what is the right thing to teach and the right values to propogate. The example they demonstrated in this incident is a disgrace to the Teachers of this nation! They have caused the Rakyat to loose respect on Teachers!
IT'S PRIVATE FUNCTION
Furthermore, this Reunion is a PRIVATE function, not a SCHOOL ACTIVITY. How could the school authorities restrict the attendance of school teachers or students to private function that are harmless, proper and lawful?! Does that mean we have to start applying for school's approval to have our ex-classmates yearly Hari Raya gathering or Chinese New Year reunion at our own home? This is outrageous!
SMKSU WAS A GANGSTER SCHOOL
We would like to remind the few teachers that SMKSU was a lousy, gangster school in the early 90's. All of us were reluctant when being assigned to the school from SMKSJ. Some of our friends rather applied to transfer to PJ schools instead of going to SMKSU (SMKSJ2 at that time). For those of us who stayed on, we did well and turned the school's name from "lousy, gangster school" to "good, preferred school" in just a few years! Many of us here at Subang Jayan were even scholars / sponsored students to our higher education at universities. The prefects did a great job in school disciplines and given us a good environment for learning and studies! The school authorities should be proud of all the students and prefects, not forgetting all the teachers who work together hard enough to improve the school's reputation, and not discriminating by political parties!
STOP BEING BIAS, STAYS INDEPENDENT!
Therefore, all of us here at Subang Jayan hereby urged all Subang Jayans to :
(1) rebuke such unreasonable action of the few teachers that ordered the 'ban';
(2) rebuke and stop school authorities from taking side on political parties and stay independent;
(3) support all teachers and prefects and ex-prefects who are attending the reunion, including YB Hannah Yeoh.

Until the person/persons responsible for this childish behaviour apologises I suggest parents/well wishers refrain from any donations/charitable contributions to this school
Dear YB Hannah
It is really sad to know that our so-called teachers who are supposed to be educated, still subscribe to the old notion of equating education with politics.
Instead of shunning you away from attending functions - formal or not - the administration of SMKSU should be proud that an ex-student has become an important law maker despite being in the opposition front.
The mentality of our EDUCATIONISTS from primary right up to tertiary education has NEVER changed. They are affiliated to certain political parties, and anyone from the opposition will not be entertained at all, or at worst, be snubbed.
This is really a shame...a GREAT shame to the teaching profession; once noble but not anymore. Not to me, at least.
Say whatever you wanna say, do whatever you wanna do..If Hannah Yeoh wants to attend the Prefects Reunion, just go ahead then....do what you think is right! Just go then..who cares about the so called threats. Hannah Yeah is the voice of Subang Jaya. Go. Prefects Reunion. Have fun.Fatima Ladyca hot girl!!! I love Spice Girls.
Is it really fair to blame the teachers like there is no tomorrow when we all know that the federal government is the one playing the ball game with PR? don't just talk as if these teachers have got no other things to do la, check out the facts and know what you are saying, support support who doesn't the teachers I am sure are proud of Hannah's achievement, but when a job has to be done, can they take sides? if they allow her to come wouldn't that be also taking sides and going against their so call boss (the one with the keris?) so think before you talk!!!
Joshua, you are right... but half right!
Firstly, teachers are not suppose to take side on politics - the fact is Prefect Reunion is for ex-Prefects and present Prefects, just like Family Reunion is for Family. It's irregardless of political or religion or ethnic background - as long as he or she is/was SMKSU Prefects! Furthermore, Hannah has been attending the Reunion. So, what stopping her now? Because she's now ADUN of DAP/PR?! That's taking side!
Secondly, only a handful of teachers have banned Hannah from attending the Reunion, not all the teachers. We have personally called up some of our teachers who are still there and they told us that they didn't agree with the 'order'. Teachers should be independent from political influences and not to be bias against any political party.
If this goes on, what we hear next is that we cannot invite non-BN ex-classmates to our class reunion otherwise our teachers cannot attend. Or, we cannot visit our schools or send our children there if we are not BN members/supporters.
