PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan's plans to recognise the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) does not bode well with Umno, with its vice-president Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaacob (pic) labelling the education certificate as a "unity destroying agent".

In a terse statement, Ismail accused plans to recognise the UEC as a conspiracy by several Chinese political parties to pressure the Pakatan-led government to gradually do away with the bumiputra rights policy.
