What do you expect from a leader who propagates racism in the past?
Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s accusation that Chinese educationist movement Dong Jiao Zong (DJZ) practised apartheid by rejecting the Vision Schools idea did not go down well with Deputy Education Minister Dr Wee Ka Siong.
Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby today, the MCA Youth chief slammed Mahathir for making baseless and inaccurate allegations.
You don’t expect a senile old man like him to admit his mistakes. He kept saying the chinese and indians refuses to mix with the malays in national school but did he ever understand why did non malays prefer to send their children to vernacular schools in the first place? Nope, he don’t. He just pins the blame on everyone else but himself. Non malays did send many of their children to national schools in the 80s to 90s but why did the ratio dropped in present day? Why not pin the blame in poor education standards in Malaysia? Why do you think these politicians are sending their children to elite schools or overseas? At least I can see children of politicians went to national schools in the 90s but I can hardly see any of them nowadays.
