Kit Siang says Pakatan unaware of new jawi policy until issue blew up

Lim said that Pakatan Harapan leaders only came to know of it for the first time, when controversy erupted over the teaching of jawi in vernacular schools last month. — Picture by Firdaus Latif

“What, however, is incontrovertible is that the policy decision on jawi in Standard Four, Five, and Six for Chinese and Tamil primary school Bahasa Malaysia textbooks was decided at a meeting of the Jawatankuasa Perancang Pendidikan on September 21, 2015, which was chaired by then-education minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid and attended by the two deputy education ministers Datuk Chong Sin Woon and Datuk P.

“There were conspiracy theories that the jawi controversy was invented either by the Education Minister Mazlee Malek or Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed to serve their political purposes,” Lim said. “There is no doubt that DAP and Pakatan Harapan are facing a crisis which can break the first-ever and probably the only experiment at political change in a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural nation,” he said.
