FIRST and foremost, I would like to congratulate Dr Maszlee Malik on his appointment as Education Minister in the Pakatan Harapan government. It is not an easy task but it could be less complicated if he puts his ears to the ground.

I appreciate his vision for a holistic education but after listening to his views at a recent public forum and on TV, I have doubts over whether it will materialise.
