THE Government must enforce the use of the Malay language by amending the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) Act 1959 to compel its teaching and learning at vernacular schools, said independent preacher Prof Mohd Ridhuan Tee Abdullah.
According to Utusan Malaysia, Ridhuan accused vernacular schools of refusing to strengthen the use of Malay language appropriately in their classes.
“Vernacular schools are Government schools and aided by the latter. They should comply with the directives issued by the Education Ministry (MOE), which includes strengthening the use of Malay.
“But until today, the Government has failed to act against the schools on the matter, with the Malay language only being taught for 180 minutes a week,” he said, at the International Symposium on Bahasa Melayu held at Wisma Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka.

Elaborating, Ridhuan alleged that Chinese vernacular school refused to heed MOE’s directive to increase Malay language classes to 240 minutes a week, citing it would hamper their students from mastering Mandarin on par with the Chinese in China.
“This is what I call as ‘crafting a nation within a nation’. While they argue against assimilation in favour of integration, they come up with social unity concept.
