Mukhriz Mahathir might just have shot himself in the foot. While speaking to the press at Parliament yesterday, Mukhriz in responding to Chua Soi Lek's rejection of 'Ketuanan Melayu', had called on the Government to abolish vernacular school system.
The malay dailies of course took the cue and highlighted Mukhriz's call. Utusan splashed their front page with "Sekolah Satu Sistem".
This did not go down well with MCA, MIC and DAP. MIC wants the AG to take action against Mukhriz for sedition as reported in Staronline, DAP led my Lim Kit Siang in his blog, commented that Mukhriz had committed sedition as the Federal Constitution disallows anyone to propose the closing down of Chinese and Tamil schools.
DAP Youth had just lodged a police report against Mukhriz.
Will the police and AG, pursue this matter with vigor as they did against Raja Petra? I doubt they will. It would not be to hard to predict that Mukhriz would then come out to say that he was misquoted by the Press.
Or will the other contenders vying for the position of Umno Youth Chief seize this opportunity to put pressure on police to act against Mukhriz. We'll see how this develope... but before i log off, I chuckled when I read this statement from Muhkriz,
"“If they reject this suggestion, then they should explain why they are against it,” he said. “If you want equal rights then you cannot have a different school system. You cannot have your cake and eat it too,” said Mukhriz."
Why...why..why...its my cake damnit!!

Mukhriz did also say that other languages should be taught.
If Singapore can do it, why can't we. Singaporeans are far more united, and each races did not lose their culture or identity.
Do read my take on this issue.
