The Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) task force is planning to submit its final report at the end of October after meeting with members of parliament and groups from Sabah and Sarawak in the coming few weeks.
This followed complaints from the Sarawak Association of Chinese School Management Boards that they were not consulted as reported by Sin Chew Daily.
UEC task force member and deputy president of Dong Zong, Tan Yew Sing (photo, above) said that opinions from East Malaysia are important and will be included in the final report.
"Actually, we have met the directors of the (Sabah and Sarawak) state education departments, and also the executive council member in Sabah and Sarawak. However, there are still some stakeholders who want to meet with us. "
"However, as we are pressed for time, we can't go there, and we can only ask them to come to Kuala Lumpur."
Tan added that any group from Sabah and Sarawak interested in participating in the consultation can contact them within the coming two weeks, and the task force will arrange a time to meet them.
UEC taskforce chairperson Eddin Khoo (photo) said that they will engage the MPs on Oct 16 to enhance the understanding of UEC.
"The engagement session is open to all MPs. As we want to bring this issue to the people, the best way to do it would be through their public representatives," said Khoo during the press conference in Putrajaya this morning.
He added that the engagement is a platform to moderate different aspects of party interests, constituency interest, cultural constituency interest, faced by the MPs from different parties.
