To become a Malaysian, one must at least go to the same school, said former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He said a single stream school was an ideal system practised by other countries in the world.

"Well, I think that is an ideal system...no country in the world has got three streams...none...all the countries in the world have got only one stream each based on their own language.

"You can have some schools (of other stream) but the general education must be in one stream," he told reporters after launching Rhythm of the 21st Century - Monologues of Raja Shahriman which showcased the latest artworks of Malaysia's contemporary sculptor Raja Shahriman Raja Aziddin at Galeri Petronas, here Tuesday.

However, Dr Mahathir said in this country, you could not even talk about it because the Chinese educationists were very vehement that their children must be like Chinese.

"The Chinese educationists do not even want Chinese children to be near Malay children.. they mustn't get into contact with Malay children... that is why they rejected our vision school," he said.

However, he said it was bad to remain completely separate to the point where you did not allow your children to mix with other children of other races.

"We are very free, we allow you to retain your name, you culture, your religion but to be a malaysian, we must at least go to the same school," he said.

if the single school system can provide the same chances getting to the local university and getting government loan without quota, i don't see that we should reject 1 school system...

Single stream schools for promoting integration have commonsensical logic to them.They were officially proposed by the British colonial Barnes Committee in 1951 although they were then intended to be single-stream English schools.

NONEEver since the Razak (right) Report of 1956, it has been "the ultimate objective" of Umno policy to have only single stream schools.

At Independence and even at the time of the Education Act of 1961, "single stream" in fact meant English stream. Since the seventies, single stream has come to mean education in Bahasa Malaysia.

But by a twist of irony created by flip flopping politicians, we may be moving back to a single stream in the English language!

The racial politics throughout post-Independent Malaysia has revolved around this intractable problem.

Recently, Professor Khoo Khay Kim and former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir have once again called for single stream schools in order to integrate Malaysians. Single stream of course means the abolition of Chinese and Tamil schools.

Prof Khoo's line of thinking is understandable for a Malaysian who did not undergo mother tongue education but that is his problem.

Dr Mahathir's attitude toward the Chinese-language schools is well-known - throughout his 22-year reign as prime minister he did not entertain a single cordial dialogue with the Chinese educationists.

NONE In 1975, when he was Education Minister, he threatened the leaders of Dong Jiao Zong with dire consequences if they went ahead with the Unified Examination Certificate of the Independent Chinese secondary schools.

Chinese schools of Malaysia represent a community-based heritage that goes back nearly two hundred years. They have helped to nurture Malaysian talents and subsidized the national education budget many times over.

The pen drive you use has been invented by a graduate of the Malaysian Independent Chinese Secondary Schools. These are achievements all Malaysians can be proud of.

The "Fifth Happiness School" in Penang was founded in 1819. Chinese and Tamil schools thrived largely on self-help during colonial times:


Added on November 5, 2009, 3:48 pm"British colonial administrators were so impressed by the high level of organization among the Malayan Chinese that they left them virtually alone to manage their own affairs." (Kua Kia Soong, "The Chinese Schools of Malaysia: A Protean Saga", 2008: 16)

Not many people realize that at Independence, there were more Chinese and Tamil schools than there are today! Yes, in 1957 we had 1,342 Chinese primary schools and 86 Chinese-stream secondary schools for an ethnic Chinese population of 2.3 million in the peninsula alone.
