I'm shocked you just support communism.

Not that I'm against this breakfast program, just that I didn't expect someone with Trump avatar will agree with this.

i think you mean rural schools.

because i don't think you can check the income of all student family and decide who get the breakfast.

1. it took a huge resource to gather the income details of each family, which i think quite pointless here because I don't see the reason.

2. lets say in a class of 40, there's 5 students qualify for the B40 requirement, during breakfast time the teacher will bring 5 set of breakfast to the class and pass it to the 5 students. you know it's awkward and suddenly you are being labeled as B40 (aka poor kid). You need to consider the feeling of the students.

If really want to have breakfast, make the whole school can have it regardless of their income, if 40 kids in the class, prepare 40 set of breakfast and they can choose not to eat if they want. So this will not create a classification gap among them.

you can start with schools that need help the most (usually rural school) for testing.

1. the T20 will not go into public school, most likely they will be in private school with private teachers. I don't think we need to worry about them.

2. the food will not be wasted, the teacher can ask anyone who need it can bring it home, there's plenty of B10 (yes, those who worse than B40) will bring it back home for their family. The point is making sure all the kids felt they are equal and if got extra food who need it can bring home.

1. if people are worry about debt, they can just test it on a few rural schools to see how it goes. Starting with a few rural schools is also start small what.

2. about food spoilage, it's always the challenge in any food preparation organisation, be it worker canteen or breakfast program. My suggestion it could be in a packaged bread + 1 box of milk, which for me can be safely bring back home and will not spoil.

Anyway, don't worry too much, it's just an idea and not even starting yet.

it's not 1 time job.

if the B40 parents next year increase salary become M40 .... so how?

if the M40 parents suddenly lost their job and no money .... so how?

it's very tedious to update who qualify and who not.

might as well give all the student breakfast in the same school.

rich kids parents also pay a lot of taxes to the government, and they don't deserve to have free breakfast as others?

see how first, probably next year the MoE also change head liao

these ministers I tell you ... always hangat2 tahi ayam one, after 1 month they probably change their mind liao

I think the context is different here.

BR1M you apply privately for individual, gov will not chop on your face say you are B40.

but during breakfast time you will really see who can get the breakfast and who not, which is sometimes making the students feel uncomfortable like being announced they are poorfag.

so i disagree with income segregation

because when you are hardcore poor, you don't dare to complain when you receive the benefit.

else pipul will call you 'ungrateful brat'

but that doesn't mean they are not hurt when people looking at them while they receiving the 'B40 breakfast'

they can just fill a form to their teacher to opt out.

if no one is filling the form, teacher will assume everyone is enlisted
