Influential Chinese education group Dong Jiao Zong is dismayed by Malay dailies Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian for twisting the group's recent statement on the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English.

A protest letter was sent to the two dailies yesterday, urging them to be fair in their coverage of the group and to publish in full its statement issued on Monday.

"Dong Jiao Zong regrets the misleading coverage which twisted our statement. The coverage is dangerous as it deliberately projects us as a chauvinist group which rejects the use of English and confuses the public over our stand," read the letter which was made available to malaysiakini .

"If such accusations are allowed to go on, it will make the people hate Dong Jiao Zong.
