Vernacular schools continue to thrive in Jasin, thanks to enrolment of Malay pupils


MELAKA: The enrolment of Malay pupils at SJK(C) Simpang Bekoh in Jasin ensures that the vernacular school continue to thrive, says Melaka Deputy Legislative Speaker Datuk Wong Fort Pin.

He said the school which is located close to the border of Melaka and Johor has been facing low enrolment for some time due to its proximity to other vernacular educational institutions in Tangkak, Johor and Asahan here.
