PETALING JAYA: The Chinese media turned the teaching of Jawi in schools in 2019 into a controversy even though DAP was supportive of the learning of Jawi, says DAP's Liew Chin Tong (pic).

In his latest book titled "Lim Kit Siang - Patriot, Leader and Fighter", a biography of the DAP leader, Liew said that Lim had supported the learning of Jawi but "the highly racialised political situation that we faced daily had made some of us forget about history - even among DAP leaders and members''.
