MALAY parents who chose to send their children to Chinese primary schools in Kedah want their children to learn the Chinese language and be exposed to other cultures.

Dental clinic assistant Fakrulnisah Mohd Yunus, 41, of Taman Utama, Jalan Gangsa in Alor Setar, said she decided her son should start Year One in SJK(C) Pumpong in Alor Setar so that he could learn an additional language.
