GEORGE TOWN: Penang MCA wants Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik to retract his remarks connecting bumiputra employment in the private sector to the matriculation quota. In the report, Dr Asma was also quoted saying that Dr Maszlee's "statement should be considered positively and sincerely in context without firing up racial sentiment". He said the issue would persist if the Cabinet did not take Dr Maszlee's remarks seriously, admonish him or instruct Dr Maszlee to retract his remarks. "As the Education Minister, Dr Maszlee is in a better position to comprehend the needs of the country and cultivate talents. "However, after his appointment as Education Minister, he proposed unrealistic policies and the ultimate task of raising education standards in Malaysia is nowhere near undertaken.
