Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid and his deputy Chong Sin Woon have been giving contradictory statements in relation to the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC), DAP lawmaker claimed today.

"During the Sarawak polls, Chong had claimed that the government is set to recognise UEC soon.

"He said 'we are very close'," said DAP's Rasah MP Teo Kok Seong at the Parliament lobby.
