Former Education Minister says increased Indian student intake not 'one-off' effort


PETALING JAYA: Umno vice president Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid refuted Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik's claim that the previous Barisan Nasional government had only made a "one-off" offer to 2,200 Indian students to undertake matriculation courses last year.

Mahdzir said Maszlee should be ashamed of making Barisan Nasional the scapegoat to cover up the ministry's failure to offer seats to many high achievers from the Indian community this year.
