‘Put teaching of Jawi on hold’

PETALING JAYA: The National Congress on Jawi passed several resolutions after a two-hour meeting, chief of which was to put on hold the teaching of a Jawi calligraphy module in the Year Four Bahasa Melayu syllabus without a detailed discussion with all stakeholders.

The group’s spokesperson Arun Dorasamy said more focus should be given on strengthening Bahasa Melayu as the national language while upholding vernacular schools and mother tongue education.
