Education inequality

I am very much disturbed by the statement of Umno Youth education bureau chief Ahmad Ikmal Ismail as well as the support it has received from ABIM and other similarly narrow minded organisations.

There is no necessity to invoke the Article 152 and 153 of the Federal Constitution on UMNO's part. Thus the statement from Ahmad Ikmal's counterpart in MCA who is also Deputy Education Minister I is justified. After all Dr Wee Ka Siong is in a much better position to come with a statement to clarify. I wish he had done so in his capacity as Deputy Education Minister I instead.

Ahmad Ikmal's statement goes on to show that they are certain people who can't live without government assistance. How sad that is.

Governmental assistance should be viewed as temporary relief not staple diet.
