LETTER | My petition had nothing to do with the matriculation debate, but he deserves brickbats nonetheless.
| I started the petition to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad on Education Minister Maszlee Malik about three weeks ago.
Time and again, several parents’ groups have tried to brief him, but like I said in my petition, he only assigned his press officer to meet with these groups. For example, Youth Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman posed shirtless in a bathtub, and received brickbats. He immediately withdrew the post and everything subsided. Maszlee apparently has not learned from his past mistakes with all sorts of nonsensical suggestions – like his idea of hotels offering their swimming pools for schoolchildren in the name of corporate social responsibility.
While I agree with Mahathir that we give more time to ministers to learn the ropes, it is too much for people to accept Maszlee. , we are racing against time to deliver the promises of a New Malaysia hyped by Pakatan Harapan.
