The obvious reason is maybe because he is damn racist just like his beloved father. He cannot stand to see that any other races in this country can have a school of their own mother tounge and going separately from the mainstream education. He always support the Malay Supremacy and the existance of these vernacular schools threatens the supremacy status of Malay. Possible?? Very possible indeed...
Another reason that I can think of is because he wants the excellent study culture of chinese and indian students can be examplified by the malay students (a better positive assumption I guess... hahaha)...
If the reason is because of ego of not accepting other races as Malaysians, I do not want to touch anymore because I think I had enough arguments with so many of my Malay frineds which still do not understand or refuse to accept the irrelevance of racism anymore. But if the second reason is the issue, I would like to bring out thoughts to one perspective.
Is the academic excellence achieved because of the school, race or the individual attitude of the student???
People... Please understand one important thing. Our forefathers did not have the luxury of education facilities like we do today and moreover our children in the future. What really matter is the determination to strive and excel in whatever condition we're in.
The culture in Malay community with the imposement of Malay Supremacy principle by the UMNO has bogged the Malay students down and subconciously affecting their determination to excel. Why? Because they know that one fine day after their SPM, they are almost guaranteed a place in the university especially public university and there are so many goverment loans that they can apply. Therefore, doing just enough is what they are doing. JUST ENOUGH...!! Not the best but just enough...
Look at the chinese and indians. They have to excel and do their best so that they can be accepted in PRIVATE university with study LOANS. So they won't have to trouble their parents too much thinking about their own education. They have to strive for excellence. HAVE TO....!!
I am not questioning the privilege rights of the Malays as stated in Malaysian Constitution. I am questioning the need for a more competitive environment in stimulating the minds of our children to strive for excellency. We are going global, not just local. Without excellent mindset and positive attitudes, we won't survive the wave of globalisation and most importantly, our children won't be able to live their life like we live ours.
Unfortunately, my arguments will still be based on the IRRELEVANCE of MALAY SUPREMACY....!!!

the excellence of certain ppl is not based on race, but DETERMINATION.
why we alwasy say the chinese is hardworking n ''pandai''. it's not bcoz they are genius, but they have to do it.
