KAJANG: The issue of recognition for the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) must be resolved amicably and not allowed to create racial conflict.
UMNO Information Chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa said interested parties must work together to resolve the issue and the public should not circulate negative perceptions if they do not have accurate information.
He said the racial and religious differences in this country should be a source of strength to the people, but a negative attitude would be a stumbling block.
“In our country, having a negative attitude would be a stumbling block. Racial and religious differences should be our strength. So I do not think what the Dong Zong Association is doing (to gain recognition for the UEC) is an obstacle,” he said in a press conference here today.
Earlier, Annuar met representatives of the United Chinese School Committees’ Association of Malaysia (Dong Zong) here yesterday to discuss the issue of Chinese school education, including the UEC. — Bernama
