Tee pushes for Chinese-type religious schools

PETALING JAYA: Controversial preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah has proposed the government build Chinese-type religious schools for Muslims to compete against Chinese vernacular schools.
In his weekly column in Malay daily Sinar Harian, Tee said this was the best solution if the government felt that the Chinese language was important in the pursuit of progress and to meet the rise of China’s economic power.
“I’m confident the children of many Muslim converts and other Malays would send their children to these schools and we can compete with other Chinese vernacular schools,” he said, adding that he had proposed this at a round-table conference of Chinese Muslims recently.
Tee’s proposal comes in the wake of UKM Professor Teo Kok Seong’s revelation that more Malay parents were sending their children to Chinese schools.
Teo also said more Malaysian parents wanted their children to learn Mandarin to boost career and business prospects, especially with the emergence of China as an economic superpower.
