PETALING JAYA: The Education Ministry should ensure that every child is not deprived of the right to education, says MCA Youth secretary-general Saw Yee Fung.

Citing the case of a 10-year-old girl who is not allowed to continue schooling next year as she did not possess a Malaysian citizenship, Saw said the government should step in and let the pupil resumes her studies.
