MCA welcomes the Kota Bharu High Court’s dismissal of a lawsuit by Pertubuhan Ikatan Guru-guru Muslim Malaysia (iGuru) challenging the existence of vernacular schools.

It must be stressed that the ruling once again affirms that the existence of vernacular schools is in line with the Federal Constitution. The Constitution's guarantees on the right to mother tongue education by all ethnic groups remain indisputable.
