       A PHILANTHROPIST who only attended school for one year donated a piece of land to his alma mater SJKC Yok Eng (Pasir Mas) so that it can be expanded, reported Sin Chew Daily.

       Chua Yew Beng bought the piece of land for RM150,000 last year and gifted it to the school.

       When interviewed, he said he was born in Kampung Tendong in Pasir Mas and attended SJKC Yok Eng when he was in Year Three.

       He remembered having to walk several kilometres to school just to save on the trishaw fare.

       Even though he had studied at SJKC Yok Eng for just one year, Chua regards it as his alma mater.

       “I regret not having the opportunity to receive more education.

       “After I started working and later raised a family, I tried my best to support all Chinese vernacular schools in hopes that even children from the poorest families will be able to receive a complete education,” he said.

       Measuring 2703.396sq ft, the freehold land was officially presented to the school on Sept 27.

       The Chua Yew Beng Scholarship was named after him and, earlier this year, 72 tablet computers were distributed to students from 18 schools in Kelantan.

       > Popular TV show Ultraman Tiga is back on streaming sites after a shortlived ban following complaints by parents in China that the series contained “violent elements”, reported China Press.

       Video platforms including iQiyi, Tencent TV and Youku were reported to no longer have the show on their sites beginning last week.In a statement issued on Saturday, the National Radio and Television Administration of China urged streaming sites to promote “healthy content” to children and remove shows meant for children that contain scenes of sex, violence or gore.

       However, reporters discovered that episodes from Ultraman have been reuploaded onto popular streaming sites, albeit missing several episodes from its total of 52.

       Some of the episodes were also found to have been shorter than the original, prompting suspicion that certain parts have been censored.Even so, the news brought joy to many fans of the series.

       “I’m so happy! Our fun times have returned,” an Internet user wrote.

       It was earlier reported that in April this year, the Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Committee conducted a survey among 1,000 parents, out of which 80% urged that violent shows not be shown to minors.

       Among the children shows that received complaints was Ultraman Tiga.

       One parent wrote that he received a complaint from school after his son was caught emulating Ultraman and fighting other kids whom he treated as monsters.

       Ultraman Tiga is part of the Ultraman series that often features a hero fighting giant monsters.
