When the choice of words matter

Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik.

ONCE again, Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik has come under fire from Sarawakians for something he said in Parliament.

In September, he ruffled a lot of feathers for saying in a written parliamentary reply that the Ministry was against the use of English as a medium of instruction in national schools, including schools in Sarawak, despite the special privileges granted to Sarawak with regard to the English language.
