Racial discrimination is any distinction, exclusion,
restriction or preference based on race or colour, descent, or national or
ethnic origin which has the purpose of nullifying or impairing the recognition,
enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental
freedom in the political, social, cultural or any other field of public life.
Are the existence of these Chinese, Tamil and Agama schools inadvertently promoting racism? Do you agree or disagree? What are our options? Your views would be much appreciated.
Race relation should at the very early age. Obama do not speak African....neither does he goes to a vernacular school.
Kamu perlu sedar bahawa anasir extremis dan perkauman ini bukan sahaja wujud dikalangan orang yang berkelulusan sekolah jenis cina/india tetapi juga ada pada orang bumiputera dan bukan bumiputera yang majoritinya berkelulusan sekolah kebangsaan/melayu. Dengan hanya meletakkan tanggungjawab ditangan sekolah jenis cina/india adalah sesuatu yang tidak tepat dan adil. Namun, saya juga berpendapat bahawa sekolah jenis cina/india ini merupakan satu isu besar yang menyumbang terhadap masalah perpaduan dikalangan orang muda di Malaysia sekarang ini.
Dengan ikhlas,

That's the more reason you should disintegrate the vernacular school. The goverment have tried with the Wawasan school and it failed due to the arrogant Chinese who do not want to be a part of it. The Malays are always the willing partner in this matter but you Chinese won't even willing to give a go at it. The thing about integration should very start at that very unassuming young schooling age. Give it a try Thomas, if its not for us let it be for our kids or our grandkids and this country would be a better place to live.Period

You’re preaching to the converted sir. Especially in getting em’ while they are still young. The Chinese, Tamil and Agama schools must go.
I believe that this is the best way to increase the popularity of national type schools amongst all Malaysians; especially the non-Bumi’s who have been losing faith in the national system. It is also the best way to counter the arguments of organisations and people that criticise the national type system for whatever reason, including those chauvinists from all races. Provide a viable, good alternative to Malaysians and they will make the practical choice.
We don’t have to look far for examples on how to do it; Lee Kuan Yew did it in his little red dot and did it very well.

Thomas
