There is no more denying, Chinese vernacular schools are here to stay.

Chinese vernacular schools the unifying factor in Malaysia and the PN govt, or for that matter, any govt, should not overlooked this emerging fact.

I believe learning Chinese and the Chinese language ( Mandarin ) is essential in view of the fact that China is pretty fast emerging as a super economic and fire power in the world .

The Chinese innovation in infrastructure development, space technology, 5G & 6G, AI, EV, GE , E-trade, E-wallet, etc would revolutionize the world into a net globalized world in months, years and decades to come.

Hence Malaysians in particular and the world in general would benefit very much when we are armed with the knowledge of Chinese and the Chinese language ( Mandarin ).

America is well aware of China's vast advancement in all fields and that's the reason why they are trying to stop China at all costs in their long march into the 22nd century.
