PUTRAJAYA: DAP is disappointed that the police had prevented educationist group Dong Jiao Zong from having a gathering on Dec 28 to discuss the implementation of a Jawi calligraphy module in vernacular schools, says Lim Guan Eng.
The party's secretary-general said under Malaysia Baru, the Pakatan Harapan government believes in the freedom of speech and that the police had no reason to prevent the event from taking place.
Dong Jiao Zong had cancelled the event scheduled to be held on Dec 28 after the group was served with a court order the day before. "Parents decide and they are represented by the Parent-Teacher Association . If the school does not have a PTA, the government has given flexibility by allowing school boards to decide on the matter.It was reported that the educationist group had criticised Lim, asking why the school board of directors was not considered as stakeholders to decide on the teaching of Jawi.
