HUAZONG is urging the government to put aside the implementation of Jawi calligraphy in primary schools for the time being and cancel this year’s attempt by the Education Ministry to send out questionnaires to parents on the matter, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Its president Tan Sri Goh Tian Chuan hopes the Cabinet would instead consider Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon’s proposal last month to introduce a multilingual resource manual which includes native languages of Peninsular Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak.
