The right wing nationalists often accuse the Chinese and Tamil primary schools of creating division in our country. So, you think the National stream education system would be more effective of creating a Bangsa Malaysia? I have my doubts.
This particular school in Subang Jaya is instilling racial awareness into primary one pupils' mind, albeit in a very subtle way there is through racial identification with religion. In other words, if you are from a certain community, your belief system ought to be of certain religion. If you are Lim Chin, you ought to be going to temple to pray, so on and so forth. By this logic I should be going to temple and not go to Church to pray. SO what do I do now?
This is certainly not helping in forging a Malaysian nation. In fact is creating a lot of confusion in the pupils' little brain. I would think the authority encourages us to send our children to national type school because it could help in strengthening our national identity, but this example shows otherwise. Their objective seems to create a permanent racial identity among many races in our country. For what reason? I really don't know. Perhaps it's for the ruling party to prolong their racist agenda by continuing British's divide and rule policy. You guess is as good as mine. Someone must have benefited from his policy?
