The Chinese are paying for the land, the construction and the running expenses for the Chinese schools, there is absolutely no reason why they are not allowed to do so when the government are approving so many international schools where Malaysians can also enrolled in? - 1Christians
Approval for a Chinese high school in Kuantan is still possible, MCA deputy president Liow Tiong Lai reiterates, and he now wants the Chinese community to give the party some time to settle the matter.
His plea comes despite Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin maintaining
that his "hands are tied" and he does not have the power to approve a
branch for the Chong Hwa Independent High School in Kuantan.
"Give me some time. I'm working on this with the party president (Dr Chua Soi Lek), all right?" he told reporters who questioned him.
Liow, who is also health minister, said this after officially opening the four-day World Health Organisation regional meeting on plans to tackle non-communicable diseases in Kuala Lumpur today.
Asked about the 5,000-strong rally on May 20 to pressure the government to approve the school, Muhyiddin had said the number of independent high schools was limited by the country's education laws, policies and history.
Liow told the Chinese press on May 23 that Muhyiddin had directed MCA to follow up on the issue.
However, Muhyiddin repeated his stance last Thursday, repeating that he was powerless to act on the issue.
