Statement Released by Dong Zong
March 28, 2018
Blurring of Focus is Cautioned:
Dong Zong Beseeches the UEC Recognisation
MCA President Datuk Wee Ka Siong’s claim that since 2013 the incumbent Prime Minister Najib Razak had raised the agenda of the UEC recognisation, it was merely that Dong Zong rejected the proposal and it eventually ended up fruitless. To clarify, Dong Zong herewith responds his claim as follows:
- Dong zong has, for many years now, declared its position to accept the requirement of credit in the SPM for independent Chinese secondary students to attain local university admission. Granted as stated, it is perhaps the ripe moment for the government to recognise UEC holders to get national tertiary admission and Dong Zong appeals the government to show its sincerity and initiate the recognisation procedures accordingly.
- On that score, we hope that all parties will not politicise and blur the focus on the matter. Dong Zong reckons if the Barisan Nasional government sincerely intends to accept the UEC, the initiation can be proceeded all at once and it is unnecessary to list it in its election manifesto, thus to leave the Gordian knot to the incoming government.
- All the while, Dong Zong is constantly seeking face to face dialogue and negotiation with the government for the UEC recognisation. We sincerely urge the government to schedule a meet up for an algorithm on the matter shortly.
