And it will be a test of DAP resolve as member of the unity gov. If the gov came in and made it illegal for such fund raising dinner with alcoholic companies, then they will be losing a lot of votes not turning up next GE. They had failed the Chinese many times but still the Chinese looked the other way, until Sg Bakap election. Continue to be a church mouse in the gov and see the impact next GE.

Cannot cos need their votes by PMX. 😎
U cinapek STFU and continue to vote DAP cos u are told that u don’t have a choice!

PMX ‘unofficial spokeman/woman’ has spoken on this issue. Follow MOE guidance.
Now let’s see who is more influential. 40 church mouse’s vs PMX …..

I beg to differ. Alcohol is never haram on the Chinese culture, or at least I am not aware it is haram. But the advertising of alcohol is not encouraged in schools though Chinese schools has never indicated it is haram to accept any donations of any sources.

I look at it from another angle. Then get the gov to change the guidelines to allow funding from any sources for semi-sufficient schools like SJK. DAP has 40 seats, largest in UG. Why can’t they do this? If UMNO can indirectly’threaten’ to leave the UG to cause it to potentially break up, why not they do it as well? Look at how much DAP has to lie to their supporters just to stay in the gov… is it so important to them to be gov? They did it with Atuk as saviour etc, with PAS in BA, and now….
Just imagine if BN is Gov and this issues is brought up by PAS. How do u think DAP will have reacted? Remember UEC? WHICH PARTY championed UEC only to disappoint their voters? Which PARTY championed TBH case only to let the family down again and again? Who is now saying ‘UEC is not so important?’ 😎😎😎😎😎

I think it is stated clearly that no alcohols shall be advertised in schools events. Enough said. This is guidelines.
Therefore, all it needs is political will to ‘change’ that guidelines. And since DAP is making a presentation to the cabinet, why not make this proposal to allow semi funded schools to allow alcohol funding but no advertisement? And it so happens that DAP is in gov and has been always advocate to Chinese education. What’s that to politicise? Fact is fact. Even the Edu Minister has openly said no need change the guidelines already some days back. So what doe Loke wants to achieve by presenting to the cabinet except to provide some solutions?

Well, the cabinet has made a decision and has taichi the decision announcement to PMX machai, the Edu Minister to provide clarification. So we wait for the official outcome soon. Mkini is speculating that the cabinet has agreed to exclude Chinese schools from the guidelines. Let’s wait and see if this is true.
Nothing we can do except make our votes count in the next GE. Count for who? U choose ur own poison. 😂😂😂😂

Spot on! No point blaming PN or MCA etc. even MIC or UMNO. The decision lies with Gov what to do. They are the gov.

Hahahaha… both are the different side of a coin.
