PUTRAJAYA: Umno Youth's Education Bureau has called on the Education Ministry to carry out a study on possible racial discrimination within the country's Chinese schools.
The demand came after a Malay teacher from SJK (C) Pai Chee in Mersing had claimed that the school's principal had tried to get rid of her and two other Malay teachers.
The bureau's chairman Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen claimed that the incident was just one of a series of similar episodes in Chinese schools, and that it was time to address the matter seriously.
“The ministry should conduct a study to find out the root of this racial discrimination within the SJKC. and whether we need to continue having such schools," he said.
Earlier this week, it was reported that a teacher at the school had claimed that she was attacked by a student's father, with the man having allegedly thrown books and stationery at her.
The teacher had also claimed that the headmaster wanted to get rid of her and two other Malay teachers, as he had claimed that the Chinese community in Pai Chee did not want Malay teachers at the school.
Rafiq said the ministry should reevaluate the role of Chinese schools.
“SJKC also receives allocations from the government. If there is a problem with racism, then the ministry needs to relook and strengthen national schools instead,” he said after the launch and presentation of the Bumiputera Transformation School Aid (Best 2016), yesterday.
Best 2016 was launched by Rural and Regional Development Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
