Social Issues In Malaysia

Recently , Malaysia has been taken by the storm with the news that our Ministry of Education would like to implement ‘Tulisan Jawi’ into the school syllabus. This has incited mixed reactions from the whole country.

While it is understandable that some parts of our Malaysian community would disagree with the implementation of ‘Tulisan Jawi’ into the school syllabus, in my opinion the reason as to their disagreement is unreasonable. Some people believe that this is a way for our government to Islamize our country. In my opinion, this is untrue because ‘Tulisan Jawi’ is a part of our Malaysian heritage. This can be a good way for  our country to immortalize our heritage. Other than that, this can enable school students to appreciate our country’s rich heritage and culture more. And for that reason , I agree that 'Tulisan Jawi' should be implemented into our school syllabus.
