Beats me why some ppl still thinks mixing everyone in the same school and magically, somehow, we will achieve unity. Makan in toilet during puasa, separate cups for muslim children and nons, and to a certain extend closing the whole canteen during puasa (non muslims no need to eat also during puasa is it? This never happened during my time in sk), all these happens in vernacular school is it? Look at those jamal red shirts, look at those shouting bossku, look at those shouting racial hates and threats in social media, they all also coming from vernacular school is it?
Its not the school, its the system, idiots
And for all the supposedly superior single stream school etc etc. I have asked this question many times yet have never received any answer:
Why can't you go ahead and convert all national schools to single stream school, upgrade the teachers & education standards [b]FIRST then only look at vernacular schools? Why die die must abolish vernacular schools first
THEN only talk about single stream schools? Can anybody answer this?[/B]
Give a superior quality of education and you don't even need to abolish vernacular schools, they will die off by themselves from low enrollment. In the 70s-80s, vernacular schools almost died off because national schools were perceived to be equal or even slightly superior than vernacular schools. Today, how many national schools can you honestly say is genuinely superior than vernacular schools?
You force ppl away from national schools with low education quality, religion (mahathir himself says national schools are like sekolah agama now) and racism. Instead of fixing this to attract ppl back, lets do a short cut, abolish the vernacular schools so everybody have no choice but can only go to 1 national schools. Lets call it unity

Rebrand SJK to SK i.e change the name + all subjects taught in BM. Not closed down the school and make it terbengkalai.
