The issue most recently came to the fore when United Malays National Organisation youth chief Akmal Saleh called for a review of vernacular schools in the country last month.
“To another question, 71 per cent of participants disagreed that vernacular schools were polarising Malaysians. These responses demonstrate the rationality and maturity of the majority of the population,” Dr Mah was reported as saying by The Vibes on Wednesday . According to Free Malaysia Today , Dr Akmal had said that it was the UMNO Youth’s view that racial tensions in Malaysia stemmed from segregation at schools.“There is no shortcut to achieve unity. It is a long, winding and challenging road, but it begins with a single step,” he reportedly said then, adding that there should be a comprehensive assessment of the syllabus taught at vernacular schools.
