I am a Malaysian Chinese. I think Chinese and Indians have been conned by their politicians for decades. Are there any advantages to SJK other than syok sendiri? Preferential entry to universities, extra scholarships, higher allocations from the government? What are the tangible benefits that we get by staying as SJK?

What is the difference if you rename SJK (C/T) <Contoh> into SK <Contoh> ? The teachers and the students are still the same.

Will having an extra J in the name suddenly make you a Maths and Mandarin prodigy? Maybe.

But having this extra J will definitely provide an excuse for preferential treatment and allocations. As mentioned before, the teachers and students are the same.
