Abolish Chinese schools, silence ‘radical’ Dong Zong, Malay groups tell Putrajaya

Putrajaya must abolish all vernacular schools as they are impeding national unity, and instead replace them with single-stream schools, a coalition of Malay rights groups said today.

They said in their National Unity Memorandum today that Putrajaya could silence any "radical" education groups that opposed such a move, like Dong Zong, through the threat of de-registration.

"This firmness is needed because the multiple streams of schools that have existed all this while are not conducive to efforts to promote and strengthen national unity in Malaysia," read the memorandum, which was drafted by a committee chaired by Perkasa chief Datuk Ibrahim Ali.

"If the proposal to abolish SKJC and SKJT is opposed by organisations like Dong Zong, the Malaysian government must review these organisations, and issue a show-cause letter asking why their registration should not be revoked.

"In other words, it is time the Malaysian government acts firmly against any radical education group that opposes efforts to promote national unity, including Dong Zong and its ilk."

The memorandum urged the government to also explain to the public Dong Zong's links to "Suqiu", a Chinese, "ultra-chauvinist movement" which had come up with 83 demands from Putrajaya in 1999.
It said Putrajaya could not bow to any pressure from non-Bumiputera aducation activists.

"(Vernacular schools) go against the goal to turn the country's education system into a mechanism to create national unity among Malaysia's multiracial youth.

"This is why the system is said to create racial, religious and cultural polarisation, and threatens national unity," read the memorandum.

The memorandum was debated among over 300 Malay NGOs at the National Unity Convention in Kuala Lumpur today, before it was approved later in the evening.

The groups intend to send the National Unity Memorandum to the government, the Yang DiPertuan Agong and the Council of Rulers.

However, in an interview published in Mingguan Malaysia today, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said Umno could not call for the abolishment of vernacular schools if it wished to win the support of Chinese voters.

"It is simply not possible to gain support from the Chinese community if we are also seeking to close Chinese vernacular schools in the same breath," he said. – November 23, 2014.
