The Vernacular School Brouhaha:Part 2

The Premier has made up his mind not to okay(The Sun reported the PM's disapproval as "poured cold water") the request made by the MCA. On the other realm, PAS had urged the government to seriously consider the request as a practise of democracy in providing education. PAS also urged the Chinese community to "rationally assess the BN government in wanting to fufill its election promises and its response to the request after winning the general election last year". Parti Keadilan Rakyat(PKR) also expressed support for the request. No surprise. any politically conscious people would have realised that the generous gesture shown by both PAS and PKR were meant to gain support from the Chinese community especially after the big loss in the last General Election. But they still got some points there. Malaysians or the 'oppressed ones' in particular should assess the current government's sincerity after the big winnings. I mean, they only want more schools because the needs are demanding! The increase population made it inevitable! Was it too much to ask for more schools to preserved mother-tounge language? I don't mean to be the champion of the Chinese community but this also applies to the Tamil schools(if the needs arise). Malaysians are more open now but such decision will only generate hatred among the people. To say that the building of more Chinese schools will lead to 'dual education system' is outrageous. The vernacular schools have been around for many years and whether you like it or not, it's this dual system that we have been adapting to all this while. In Chinese and Tamil schools, subjects are taught and learned in their respective mother-tounge, while in national schools, it's in Bahasa Kebangsaan(National Language)! Wouldn't that already made them dual? Who are we kidding?
