PERKASA SUPRISED ANWAR IS SUING NALLA



KUALA LUMPUR: Perkasa has expressed surprise that opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had resorted to suing senator Datuk S. Nallakaruppan for RM100 million instead of just openly denying the latter's allegations.


Perkasa information chief Ruslan Kasim said as a good public speaker, Anwar should have no problems in a debate with Nallakaruppan over the matter.



"It looks as though he became flustered and panicky when Nallakaruppan raised the matter... it is unlike other issues linked to Anwar, where he (Anwar) looked calm and unruffled," Ruslan said yesterday.

THUMBS UP FOR MOVE TO RE-ASSIGN NON-BILINGUAL TEACHERS

KUALA LUMPUR: The United Chinese School Teachers' Association (Jiao Zong) welcomed the decision by the government to re-assign non-bilingual teachers from Chinese schools to national schools.

Its president, Ong Kow Yee, said the move, which takes effect from April 16, would benefit Chinese school students.

"We need teachers who are bilingual, in Chinese and English or Malay, so that students can follow the lessons," he said, adding that most of them could not understand teachers who could not speak in Mandarin.

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said the decision to send non-Mandarin-speaking teachers to Chinese schools had always been a contentious issue.

"The government's decision is a good move.

"It will also address issues brought up by the opposition, especially DAP."

Gerakan deputy president Datuk Chang Ko Youn said the transfer of non-Mandarin-speaking teachers had been a demand made by Chinese schools for several years. (NST)
