YOURSAY | ‘Having a national language doesn’t mean that one cannot speak or study other languages.’
The police and attorney-general should refer to the court verdicts of Melan Abdullah & Anor v Public Prosecutor whenwas found guilty of sedition for its editorial, ‘Hapuskan sekolah beraliran Tamil atau Cina di-negeri ini’ , and Mark Koding v Public Prosecutor, where the then Sabah MP was found guilty of sedition when he spoke in Parliament in October 1978 calling for the closure of Chinese and Tamil primary schools.
Certain parties would do anything to show Malays that they are being disrespected in their own country. Unfortunately, it is a strategy that works every time.First it was the LTTE-linked arrests, then Chin Peng’s ashes, TAR UC funding and now Dong Zong and legality of vernacular schools.
The Malay language is the national language, but other languages should be maintained as medium of communication in schools.While some countries with no official languages or multi-ethnic countries with multiple languages are focusing on self-improvement, invention, developing their countries and helping others prosper, these NGOs in Malaysia are utilising the national language to “downgrade” other languages apparently to gain dignity and feel proud as a race.
If they are really sincere about creating one education system for all Malaysians, the NGOs need to get rid of MRSM too.I consider it a good move by the two NGOs to appoint the experienced senior lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla as their lead counsel for the legal suit.tahfiz Why are they not focusing on more important problems such as corruption, drug-related issues and moral values which are affecting our country? when the quality of our education system was still good.
