00:00Because we have studied before, Menteri Pendidikan is required to do this diagnostic test.
00:10Prime Minister Anway Ibrahim announced in Dewan Rakyat today that the Education Ministry would not proceed with the proposed diagnostic screening for six-year-olds seeking enrollment in year one.
00:22He said the decision followed a review by the Ministry.
00:25But what I want to say is that the first requirement is because there was a system of approval before the child entered school.
00:34But it was thought that it would become discriminative.
00:38If there was a child who entered the school and entered the school, he would not be able to do it.
00:46So, there may be a sign of psychology.
00:48So, that's why it was denied.
00:52Anwar was responding to a supplementary question from Mwar MP Saeed Saeed Abdul Rahman who asked whether the diagnostic assessment should be reviewed,
01:01noting that children who failed the screening would have to postpone their school enrollment by a year.
