Vernacular schools not stumbling blocks to national unity, says Dr Wee


KUALA LUMPUR: Chinese and Tamil schools are not stumbling blocks to national unity, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).

"Multi-stream education has manifested the beauty of Malaysia's multiculturalism and has nurtured and groomed countless multilingual talents in different fields and sectors. No one can deny this truth. "Moreover, currently, more than 20% of pupils in Chinese schools are non-Chinese," he said.
