慕尤丁重申将保留华校（Chinese schools will stay, Muhyiddin reiterates）

SERI KEMBANGAN: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin Friday reiterated his assurance that Chinese schools will stay and the Barisan Nasional government will continue to assist in their development.

斯里肯邦安：副首相丹斯里慕尤丁在星期五重申，他保证保留华校，且国阵政府将继续协助华校发展。

 

Muhyiddin, who is also the Education Minister, said the Barisan government would continue to assist the national-type Chinese schools based on the real needs of the Chinese community.

同是教育部长的慕尤丁表示，国阵政府将依据华社的需求来协助国民型华校。

 

"It is the wisdom of our past and present leaders that, not only is Chinese education preserved in this country, but it also becomes part of the national education system," he said when opening the 14th World Chinese Book Fair at the Mines International Exhibition and Convention Centre, here.

“这是过去与现在领导人的睿智，华教不仅被保存，而且还成为国家教育系统之一。”他在绿野国际会展中心，第１４届书香世界中华书展的开幕礼上如此表示。

 

Also present were Deputy Education Minister Datuk Wee Ka Siong and founder of Country Heights Holdings Berhad Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew.

出席者包括教育副部长拿督魏家祥，及绿野集团创办人丹斯里李金友。

 

Muhyiddin stressed that the Government was always committed in raising the quality of education across all schools, regardless of the school-type.

慕尤丁沉重表示，基于政府常承诺要提升所有学校的教育素质，才会造成对型式学校的忽视。

 

He therefore hoped that the Chinese community would not fall prey to the agenda of certain quarters who liked to politicise education for their narrow political gain.

因此，他希望华社不要跌入有意图人士的圈套，否则教育将被政治化，也让他们在政治上取得了利益。

 

"Let us not jeopardise the future of our children, the future of our great nation, just for the sake of short-term political gain.

“不要因为某些短暂的政治利益，而破坏我们下一代及国家的未来。”

 

"At the same time, let us not forget the role of education as a means to unite Malaysians of all races.

“同时，不要忘记教育的角色是要团结我国各种族的国民。”

 

“Let us make all schools in this country as unity schools, where children of all races can mingle freely, learn to accept differences and respect each other," he said.

让所有学校成为联合学校，让各族的孩子可在学校自由交融、学习接纳差异、及尊重彼此。”他表示。

 

He added there was no reason not to continue building this country on the pillars of understanding, tolerance and respect among our multicultural communities, which had contributed to build the nation as it was today.

他补充说，没有理由我们不持续在多元社群里加强容忍与尊重，这样的付出方能建构有如今天的国家。

 

Muhyiddin also stressed that all Malaysians must read more in order to catch up with the developed countries. He said by not doing so, Malaysia risked losing its competitiveness and being left behind in this global race for new knowledge, new skills and new wealth. – Bernama
