KUALA LUMPUR: Speakers have been reminded not to be emotional when debating the existence of vernacular schools at the Umno general assembly.
Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein said they should be realistic and focus on unity.
“A multi-stream education system can unite us. There is no single solution to our problems. I believe the speakers are matured as this is not something new,” he told a press conference after a session with Bona Fide Friends of Umno (BFF) organised by the Umno Constitution and Legal Bureau at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC).
He was commenting about the possibility of debate on the existence of vernacular schools in the country by Umno delegates at the Umno general assembly starting Tuesday.
Many Umno members have claimed that the existence of vernacular schools in the country had strained racial ties in Malaysia, with some wanting the issue to be debated at the coming Umno general assembly.
Hishammuddin said the vernacular school issue should be debated in a rational and realistic manner and not just for fun.
“We want our children to be educated without strong racial and religious sentiments that will derail our efforts to create a united nation,” he added.
