DLP issue shows authorities must think on their feet

I REFER to your reports “Head on with the DLP” (Jan 2) and “Dual Language stays” (Jan 5).

It was indeed a dramatic change of events over just a couple of days. The drama seemingly unfolded with a state education department’s announcement posted on social media by “Cikgu Nurul” which stated that the Education Ministry had put the Dual Language Programme (DLP) on hold.
