00:00Uri May Chairman P. Ramasamy has urged Perikatan National to offer a substantive alternative
00:06to resolve issues affecting the Chinese and Indian communities, including education if
00:11it wants to woo the non-Malay electorate.
00:14In a Facebook post today, he said the opposition had an issue when it came to the political
00:18support of the Chinese and Indians.
00:21Ramasamy said it was necessary to address the problems faced by these communities and
00:26that PN could not operate on the assumption that support from non-Malay communities was
00:31automatic.
00:32He cited the recent case of a top STPM scorer failing to secure a spot at a local university
00:38as an example of problems in the system.
00:40To date, he said PAS and Bersatu had refrained from criticising the undemocratic nature of
00:46the education system, which according to him put non-Malays at a disadvantage.
00:51Ramasamy also questioned how PN could aspire to national power without the support of
00:57non-Malays who make up nearly 40% of the population.
01:01He added that if PN can outline necessary and progressive reforms in the education sector,
01:06it may be able to attract support from the Chinese and Indian communities.
