Chong: Malay Mandarin teachers not a threat

KUALA LUMPUR: The fact that non-Chinese teachers are now able to converse fluently in Mandarin is not a threat to Chinese schools, said Deputy Education Mi­­nis­­ter Datuk Chong Sin Woon (pic).

In dismissing false claims over social media, Chong said that teachers who were sent to Beijing to train in Mandarin are solely for the purpose of teaching Chinese classes in national schools.
