Anguish of not being in DLP class

Bring it back: A group of parents from SJK(T) Jalan Yahya Awal staging a peaceful demonstration in protest of the DLP classes being reduced at the school.

JOHOR BARU: After spending the past six years in primary school learning Science and Mathematics in English, Navin (not his real name) is forced to now learn the subjects in Bahasa Melayu due to the lack of secondary schools offering Dual Language Programme (DLP) in Johor.

“My parents were able to register me in a secondary school offering the programme and I was very excited when I found out. I was later informed that I had to sit for an exam as there is only one DLP class in the school.
