I agree with Lim Kit Siang that we don’t lose if we learn new things, especially about the different cultures in the country. FMTNews

Lim Kit Siang is right of course. Learning anything good from any culture will benefit us.

The Iskandar Puteri MP added: “It did not make me any less of a Chinese, and may have helped in making me more of a Malaysian.” About 2,000 Chinese, led by the two Chinese educationist groups leading the current khat protest, and politicians, gathered on Oct 11, 1987 to demonstrate against the decision to send non-Mandarin speaking teachers to Chinese schools.

But on Oct 27, the infamous Ops Lalang took place. Initially, 19 people were arrested, but by mid-November, a total of 106 people had been detained under the ISA, including Lim and his son Guan Eng, Karpal Singh, V David, Ibrahim Ali, Kua Kia Soong, Muhamad Sabu, Khalid Abdul Samad and Dr Mohd Nasir Hashim.

There is also the fear among Chinese educationists that what happened to national schools could happen to vernacular schools. Today everyone, including Mahathir, acknowledges that national schools have become almost Islamic schools. This, of course, did not happen in a year or two; it happened slowly, starting with one or two moves that looked innocent enough.
