IPOH: A clearer explanation on the implementation of the “Imam Al-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith” appreciation module from the beginning would have prevented misconceptions about it, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The MCA president said the words used such as “perintis” (pioneer) and “memperluaskan” (expand) to describe the module raised a lot of questions as well as doubts from the community.
