PUTRAJAYA: Vernacular schools are protected under the Federal Constitution, hence the judgment of the Court of Appeal should not be disputed, say stakeholders.
The ruling solidifies the legal standing of vernacular education, underscoring the fundamental right of all ethnic communities to pursue mother tongue education and the parental right to choose schools for their children – both of which are protected by the rule of law, said MCA secretary-general Datuk Chong Sin Woon.
