This is indeed a great news if successful. Something that was not done for past 50 years but is finally proposed now. Even though it may not amount to much, but will reduce burden of the schools a bit.

This is the kind of statement that puts off people. I suppose he is above detention centers 🙂

I’m not surprised with these statements. The milder versions will appear in the papers later, but since he is talking in a pro-Malay forum, what else can one expect? » Read more: no equality for non malays says Kelantan prince

Unfortunately some quarters can’t think straight like the minister. Some converts, like Subashini’s husband, misuse the dual-court system to their own benefit, thus giving a bad name to the their religion. It is only logical that the soon-to-be-convert comes clean before he/she commits to another faith, » Read more: Bernard Dompok supports divorce in civil court
