PORT DICKSON, Oct 9 (Bernama) -- The government supports Chinese education by providing a big yearly allocation to Chinese schools, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
"Do not accuse the government of not supporting Chinese schools as we are spending RM1.6 billion yearly to pay the teachers. This is a testimony of the government's commitment towards Chinese schools.
"Some people alleged that this man (Muhyiddin) is anti-Chinese, pro-Malay. This is not true. I had been working closely with Chinese.
"We treat all equally and this will make everybody feel comfortable," he said at the Lantern Festival dinner at Sekolah Menengah Chung Hua here tonight.
Present were Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Kong Choo Ha, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan and Negeri Sembilan MCA chairman Senator Datuk Dr Yeow Chai Thiam.
