Besides the National Language, we insist on multilingual policy.

This morning, we took part in the gathering organized by Dong Zong to petition for a fair policy on vernacular education. For over 40 years, we have followed the Federal Constitution: Besides the National Language, we insist on multilingual education policy. We feel that the Central Government does not have a fair policy on Chinese, Tamil education and government-aided schools. Since 1957, if the Government had adopted a fair multilingual policy, many problems would not have occurred such as shortage of teachers and controversy in the curriculum. If the Government had been enlightened, thousands of citizens would not have stood under the scorching sun, calling for the review of the 2013 National Education Development Blueprint.

We continue to struggle for a fair and just multilingual education policy within and outside parliament. We believe in non-violence.
