PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal’s ruling that vernacular schools are constitutional should not be disputed and should put an end to notions that multiple education streams would create polarisation, says Datuk Chong Sin Woon.

Welcoming the ruling, the MCA secretary-general told reporters at the Palace of Justice on Thursday(Nov 23) that it is clear that vernacular schools are enshrined by the Federal Constitution and had existed before Independence.
