Learning Jawi didn’t make me less Chinese but more Malaysian, says Kit Siang

DAP’s Lim Kit Siang today said he learnt to read the Jawi script when he was detained under the Internal Security Act. — Picture by Firdaus Latif

The move supposedly drew opposition from Chinese education group Dong Jiao Zhong. Malay and Chinese newspapersrespectively reported last Friday that the organisation had planned a protest, which it immediately denied. Lim, who is currently in India for a work visit, said the country has long struggled to overcome the deep mistrust the different races have for each other, and that it was a major hindrance to integration.

Lim that said his lifelong political struggle has always been to break racial barriers and act as a bridge for Malaysia’s diverse communities.

You betray your people.

anwaribrahim At this age..... What is learning jawi gonna do to you.

Just make it as option, no issues.

So does the so called ' current less Malaysian ' don't have brain, which voted for Pakatan Harapan.

Hypocrite chicken is action

Mission school taught Jawi in the 70s 😊

Thats true..as for me i have no interest to learn it.

kat situ dh menunjukkan dia ni rasis

The keyword there is 'didn't make me less Chinese'. I wonder didn't your son and your folks claiming themselves as Malaysians? Afraid to be pure Malaysian huh?

we not forget what happen in 13may1969

Khat is art la. Khatan is different 🤣

anwaribrahim Uncle KS, it must to be implemented without enforcement... Who ever interested can join the class to learn something new. 🙏

milosuam Ada isu di sebalik ni yg lg bsar aku rse.. create isu, bg org fcus kt isu ni..

Kan...tak rugi pun...

SharaadKuttan Good thing is this proves to the malay that DAP is not leading the pakatan government, right?

Hahaha sudah tukar kenyataan ka? Lu mati cepat skit la lim kit sial

Disappointed

Aku cakap undi DAP korang taknak Macam2 ko cakap dia.. khinzir lah vavi lah swine flu lah crispy bacon lah...apebenda lah korang nie...

I learned it too. There should be more languages offered and I think it should be a choice. Forcing us to take up Jawi didn't make me like it but had just the opposite effect. Out of all the languages used in Malaysia..this did me no good whatsoever. Get real.

Now DAP is becoming MCA. 🤭

sejarah dh tertulis LKS tu siapa

Still tak bole lupa kit Siang Kata kalau menang NAK bagi taraf BUMIPUTRA to orang pribumi🤣

Lmao it’s not that hard

so do all race must learning Chinese languages

ini kali i sokong u atok limkitsiang

هيديه ميليك الله. سسياف فون بوليه بلاجار توليسان جاوي

When you start learning Jawi, how old are you? Of course you are old enough not to be influenced but not for the students.

🖕🖕🖕

Learning English cursive: “It’s fine, it’s like learning a new art form” Learning Jawi: this is threat

Taktik lame limkitsiang ..belum dia pakai kain pelikat lagi tu

anwaribrahim I will die die vote for BN coming GE!

that makes the rest of us who didn't study Jawi 'less Malaysian' in comparison to 'the more Malaysian LKS'.

🚮

i hope limkitsiang identity card gets a 'more' word before the Malaysian, or else how can we justify his more malaysian-ness?

Cina DAP ni cakap nya macam Biawak. lidahberbelit

🤡

Why are we importing Jawi when we can't master English. Are we going to make our graduates camel drivers or terrorist.

firdyfire Jawi can't bring me anywhere to earn a decent living. The scope of use is limited, why want to waste time discussing it?

Support your view of integration mr limkitsiang , but in first place, vernacular schools should be abolished, make it in one education stream like Singapore.

it's just a language, and people make a fuss of it. i am more concern on the rich-poor gap.

anwaribrahim Changing government does not make me eliminate BN but more regret on why I decided in such way....

syahredzan I appreciate kit siang's input. maybe there would be less outrage if other new education reforms are being highlighted

Jawi is so easy. It's Malay culture. Takkan sesatkan non malays pun. So why takut sangat ni? Even my non malays friends pun seronok belajar jawi. They can even write their name using Jawi. Oh maybe you're just racist.

Learn calligraphy, what is the issue ? It's a form of art.

anwaribrahim Pusingan U di kawasan selekoh amat berbahaya. Tapi ada yang boleh menerimanya.

Therefore, shouldn't be a problem for limkitsiang to totally abandon Chinese culture since it doesn't make him less Chinese but more Malaysian? dapmalaysia guanenglim GobindSinghDeo hannahyeoh syahredzan ramkarpal DAPSYMalaysia

Ok but not a must but an option to learn jawi. .

So that's how you interpreted it, being more Malaysian?

One size doesn't fit all. My apprehensions and aversions don't make me less Malaysian than you just because your interests aren't rubbed the wrong way. Docility seems to accompany geriatrica does it now, Uncle Lim?

Start to pour the milk

anwaribrahim Maybe MOE should consider to introduce as part of art class instead. Reduce tension. I believe khat does help in kids having nice handwriting

anwaribrahim No to assimilation, no to integration. Live side by side at a tangent & dream living in unison. An idiotic perspective from a citizen that allegedly contributes to the nation? Unity is one. Abolish vernacular schools for the sake of future children.

I learn jawi too during my primary schooling in a mission school back in 1970-80's. No problem as it is abt getting more knowledge

Baik punya pancinggg

anwaribrahim Hahaha

anwaribrahim Knowledge is limitless I’d use wisely !!! But if use as terrorist is to destroy the peace and harmony !!!

anwaribrahim No brain

anwaribrahim It's not a compulsory subject, why all the dissatisfaction? If don't want to take, just don't take la. I for one, appreciate more optional subjects to be introduced. It addresses the wide range of diff skills/interests among kids, giving them better chance at excelling in school

anwaribrahim بتول ك ..

Corner baring cicah telinga time u-turn ni LKS

Yes

LKS nowadays is more becoming the lapdog of TUN...

Kesian. It seems tht Umnopas lackeys get so angry with this sttment frm limkitsiang as they eagerly hoped LKS to vehemently oppose the MOE's decision to introduce khat/jawi in al schools.

As always, now is the u-turn or damage control and “the croc appealing move” by tokong Lim limkitsiang after a slur uttered by their racist leader limlipeng

Only Singapore can do what you dream of limkitsiang
