| It is most extraordinary that the PAS, Umno and MCA candidate for Tanjung Piai, Wee Jeck Seng, should be playing the “disappearance” game at the most important MCA by-election media conference yeste

rday, which would be the last day the media conference would be covered by the media as whatever said today would not be reported tomorrow, the polling day for Tanjung Piai by-election.

On Wednesday at 7.48pm, Jeck Seng posted on his Facebook that “MCA unites to oppose Jawi”, which lasted for some 20 hours, but at 4.41pm yesterday, this particular line was amended to read: “MCA unites to oppose the addition of Jawi khat in the Bahasa Malaysia curriculum in Chinese and Tamil vernacular schools.”

Firstly, why he put up the original posting that “MCA unites to oppose Jawi” and why he bowed down to pressure from Muafakat Nasional of Umno and PAS to delete and amend his original posting. This would also put the MCA president, Wee Ka Siong, on the spot, for he was a minister in Najib Razak’s Cabinet in 2015, and cannot claim that he did not know about the Education Ministry Curriculum Committee decision in September 2015 for the full implementation to include Jawi in the revised textbooks from 2020 onwards.

But, as a result of the intervention of the DAP ministers in the current cabinet, Jawi is now an optional result and it is not necessary for Chinese and Tamil primary school students to learn to read, write or to be examined in Jawi. With such an ambivalent stance, one can understand why, in his two terms as MP for Tanjung Piai, he did not ask a single question on the 1MDB scandal and why the people of Tanjung Piai cannot depend on him in the mission to transform Malaysia from a global kleptocracy to a leading nation of integrity in the world.
