JOHOR BARU: Chinese vernacular schools will continue to receive the government’s attention along with other mainstream education institutions, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said the existence of various streams of education, such as Chinese and Tamil vernacular schools and national-type schools, had been a non-issue since the nation achieved independence.
