Govt blanket alcohol ban harms vernacular schools, undermines multicultural foundations, says MCA sec-gen

The Prime Minister’s recent announcement in Parliament that “no government school shall hold any event involving alcoholic beverages” is deeply troubling.

While the intention to maintain order is understandable, this decision represents a one-size-fits-all policy that severely undermines Malaysia’s multicultural foundation and poses a direct threat to the sustainability and development of vernacular schools, particularly Chinese primary and national-type secondary schools.
