: The parents of the Orang Asli village of Kampung Kuala Koh want the Kelantan Education Department to hold special classes for their children, as is being done in Kampung Aring 5.
One villager, Yahya Ong, 35, said his children are not yet able to manage on their own at the school hostel because they still need parental care. “We much rather let our children be illiterate than send them to a school that is so far away,” he said. When there is such a facility, the parents can send and fetch their children daily without any problem, he said.
I'll be worried for our next generation from sexual predators if left alone at boarding school so young so far away from their family. I understand why parents chosen illiteracy yet this shouldn't free maszlee from his responsibility to bring education to rural villages. Do it✊
