Dr Mahathir’s first task as acting education minister
BARELY had the Jawi brouhaha subsided, some right-wing groups threw a hissy fit about the Chinese New Year deco put up in a school in Puchong.
It is one thing for fringe groups like Dong Jiao Zhong or leader from little-known Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia to crave for media soundbites to push whatever twisted agendas they harbour. But it is totally unbecoming for an elected representative to stir racial sentiments solely for political expediency.in his capacity as the PAS Dewan Ulamak head recently, further fuelled sentiments when he accused Human Resources Minister M. Kula Segaran and Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P.
The Pasir Puteh MP was clearly being mischievous, bordering on the criminally seditious. It would be naive on the part of Nik Zawawi not to dismiss the dire impact his highly nuanced statement would have on an already racially charged socio-political landscape.
