Change vernacular schools to national schools, says ex-Appeals judge


Malaysia's vernacular schools should be turned into national schools that teach all languages, suggested former Court of Appeal judge Datuk Mohd Noor Abdullah, saying this did not mean doing away with such schools. 

The former justice had already caused a stir last month when he declared efforts should be made to retain Malay political power and increase economic share to 67 per cent within a decade.

"We are not killing the language," Mohd Noor told a forum in Kuala Lumpur today, adding: "We are asking everyone to be given a chance to learn the language." 

He said the vernacular schools catered to specific races, and did not allow opportunities for all races a chance to study in such schools. 

"We are not abolishing the schools," he added. "The branding is divisive. The teachers and schools can still be there but the phrase vernacular can be dropped."

Asked by a member of the audience if his suggestion is feasible, "When there's a will, there's a way," he replied. 

Mohd Noor even proposed that these schools can be schools for oriental studies. - June 19, 2013.

MORE TO COME.
