Guan Eng disappointed with PDRM’s move to prevent congress thesundaily Malaysia pdrm
The move by the police to get a court order to prevent a congress organised by Chinese education group Dong Jiao Zong in “Malaysia Baru” was very disappointing, says DAP secretary-general Lim Guan EngHe said freedom of speech should be allowed in Malaysia Baru and there was no reason to bar the closed-door congress that was organised to discuss the implementation of Jawi in vernacular schools next year.
Speaking to reporters after the closing ceremony of the Financial Literacy Festival, Lim said the Cabinet had decided that Jawi was optional in vernacular schools and it requires the consent of their respective Parent-Teacher Associations before it can be taught. He said the 14 letters being taught in three pages in the Bahasa Melayu textbooks are not enough to learn Jawi as the script has 37 letters in its alphabet.
Lim said the Dong Zong issue will be brought up at the Cabinet because of some recent developments, but he did not elaborate.
