Malay mum: I send my kids to Chinese schools, so what?


ALOR SETAR: A banner carried by participants of the Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu rally in Kuala Lumpur calling for the abolition of Chinese vernacular schools has caused an outcry not only among the Chinese community but also from a Malay family who sends their children to such a school.

Najihah Md Desa, 37, expressed her displeasure on Facebook by questioning the group if it was wrong to study in Chinese primary schools and whether it was wrong to send their children to such a school.
