Vernacular schools cause of polarisation? What about Malay-only schools?

  • 9 years ago
The spectre of polarisation rears its ugly head and two prominent personalities have suggested they be closed for a single education system. Supported by Malay NGOs, they claimed that vernacular schools have been the cause of racial polarisation in the country.

We speak to four other personalities, versed in the field of education for their views on this claim.

The four are:

Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim, Chairperions, Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE)

S Pasupathy, President Tamil Foundation

Azmi Sharom, Law lecturer

Kua Kia Soong, Author, educator and human rights activist
