KUALA LUMPUR: The start of the New Year means a hole in pocket for the parents of schoolgoing children.

For many, new uniforms, bags and books eat up a large chunk of the family income.

School starts today in Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, and Terengganu, and tomorrow in other states.

Some parents spend up to RM500 to buy basic items for the children, while others spend a whopping RM1,000 or more to fulfil their children's demands.

The lower-income group cuts cost by using hand-me-down reference books and uniforms.

"Back-to-school shopping is becoming increasingly expensive. Children these days know what they want and insist on buying their favourite cartoon character stationery and bags," said mother of three, Junaidah Hamid, 43.

She spends up to RM600 on bags, books, fees and uniforms for each child.

"Usually, I would ask them to use their bags from last year, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to convince them to do so."

Another mother, Selvarani Seldurai, said sending children to school is an expensive affair, especially for those in their first year at secondary school.

"I have to buy everything . It is expensive," said the 42-year- old customer service executive, who replica tag heruer Clip on charms watches is a mother of two.

Her son's school pants cost RM30 each and she has to buy at least three pairs. The white shirt costs about RM60.

"The school's additional fees is also quite steep. I have to pay more than RM100."

Selvarani said her daughter's Form Four reference books cost between RM30 to RM40 each.

"For the next few years, my husband and I will have to tighten our belts to pay for the children's education," she added.

Single mother Jenny Lee said her 11-year old son would be wearing last year's shirts and using the same pencil box and bag.

"I have two children and I try to re-use whatever I can to cut costs."
