Commentary by senior editor of the Malay daily compares the plight of Chinese schools in the three countries. FMTNews

PETALING JAYA: Utusan Malaysia today said Malaysian Chinese are more fortunate than Chinese in Singapore and Indonesia, where no vernacular schools are allowed.

“Eight weeks after its separation from Malaysia, in October 1966, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, supported by Chinese teachers’ unions, Chinese press editors and community leaders, urged the Singapore government to give an assurance that the Chinese language will be one of the official languages. He said Lee later warned Chinese educationists that he would not allow anyone to exploit the Chinese language for political purposes.
