Anwar, who himself helmed the education portfolio under the first Mahathir administration, said the Simpang Renggam MP had “done a lot” during his two-year tenure as minister, but claimed his efforts were mostly overlooked, news portalInstead critics focused only on the few controversial decisions by the young Bersatu politician, Anwar suggested.“He had done a lot of reforms for education, focusing on the quality. They were not widely discussed.
According to the website, the 17-paragraph letter noted that Maszlee had particularly failed to follow advice on the jawi issue, free internet service for schools and free breakfast programme for pupils.Speaking on Maszlee’s replacement, the same news portal reported this afternoon that Anwar had insisted that the post be given to PH stalwarts as speculation mounts that former Umno leader Tan Sri Mustapa Mohamed who has since joined Bersatu will replace Maszlee.
