ADUN SPEAKS | Racism and religious extremism are the root cause of disunity among Malaysians, not vernacular schools.

Bersatu Youth chief Wan Fayhsal must be out of mind to think that vernacular schools in the country fail to produce students who are not nationalistic.

Anyway, he is not the first person to open his mouth on this matter of vernacular schools and he is definitely not going to be last.

As long race and religion are going to dominate the political thinking of race or religious-based political parties such as Umno, PAS or Bersatu, vernacular schools will be targets of attack.

Of course, questioning the existence of vernacular schools is both seditious and unconstitutional. But alas, will the authorities act on this matter?

Vernacular schools have been in the country even before independence, not something that cropped up recently...
