00:00State your position on vernacular schools.
00:04DAP Seputu MP Teresa Kok is urging the Perikatan National candidate for the Kuala Kubu Baharu
00:12by-election to come forward with his stance, following past MP Ahmad Fadli Shari's remarks
00:18on the issue yesterday.
00:20Kok said it was imperative that Kairu Azhari Saud do so, as Kuala Kubu Baharu hosts five
00:27Chinese national-type schools and two Tamil national-type schools.
00:32She questioned whether Kairu shares a similar view with his past comrades or aligns with
00:38the opinion of a Bersatu MP who advocates their abolition, which was an apparent reference
00:44to Bersatu Youth Chief and Macang MP Wan Ahmad Faisal Wan Ahmad Kamal.
00:49Kok said Fadli's insinuation that DAP candidate Bang Sok Tao's SPM results were tied to her
00:56attendance at a vernacular school was malicious.
01:00She said Fadli's apology was half-hearted, adding that he chose to subtly encourage the
01:06public to exploit the issue of vernacular schools for political gain during the election
01:11campaign.
01:12Yesterday, Fadli apologized for challenging Bang to reveal her SPM results, but said he
01:19hoped the issue of her coming from a vernacular school would continue during the Kuala Kubu
01:24Baharu by-election campaign.
