Abolishing vernacular schools will reduce ethnic strife, says Perak mufti

KUALA LUMPUR — Abolishing vernacular schools will help reduce inter-ethnic tension in the country, Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria said amid controversy over “red shirt” rally goers purportedly calling for Chinese schools to be shut down.
Malay-language daily Sinar Harian reported Mr Harussani as saying that he had already suggested to Prime Minister Najib Razak and several ministers that Tamil and Chinese schools be closed down. But national-type schools were still in operation because other races had protested against their closure, he said.
“The problem is, I had already brought this up, I met with the prime minister and the ministers and all. I said, when we gained independence, the promise was that there would only be one national school (system),” Mr Harussani was quoted as saying.
“The Chinese schools were to close down in six months, the Tamil schools were also to close down in six months. Everyone agreed at that time.
“But because the Chinese asked for an extension, we agreed, and we have agreed up to today.”
He said that a single-school system would ensure the non-Malays could speak the national language, like the minority communities in Indonesia and Thailand.
He added that Singapore’s decision to abolish Malay and Chinese schools had strengthened the unity of its people.
“In Singapore there is only one school (system), which is English. There is no difference among them, they all think alike and that’s why they respect each other. “But you can see that the Malays there are sidelined when they apply for jobs. Usually they hire people with higher qualifications, and that’s usually the Chinese.”
He also questioned the government’s reason for trying to appease the other races in the country. At the “red shirt” rally on September 16, some of the participants carried a banner with the words “Hapuskan SJKC” (abolish Chinese schools).
MCA Youth later lodged a report over the banner which it said was seditious. Vernacular schools have long been a subject of debate in Malaysia, with some arguing that they hamper efforts to foster national unity among schoolchildren.
But proponents of vernacular education have said enrolment of children from other races in these schools has increased over time as a result of parents acting on the declining standards in national public schools. THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER
