I call on the Ministry of Education to clarify the reported 30% Bumiputera equity requirement affecting tuition centres and other private education institutions operating under company structures.
The immediate concern among operators is that, from 2027, institutions that do not meet the 30% Bumiputera equity threshold may be unable to renew their registration.
If this requirement is to be enforced, MOE must clearly explain which categories of private education institutions are affected, whether it applies nationwide, and whether it covers only new applicants or also existing operators that have been operating legally for many years.
The Ministry must also clarify the legal and policy basis for linking the registration of education institutions to the racial composition of company shareholding.
Many tuition centres, kindergartens and other education centres are long-established small and medium-sized businesses. Requiring existing operators to restructure their shareholding is not a minor administrative matter, as it directly affects ownership, investment and management control.
Education regulation should primarily focus on teaching standards, teacher qualifications, student safety, premises and compliance with the law.
If MOE intends to make the 30% Bumiputera equity requirement a condition for registration renewal from 2027, affected operators must be properly consulted and given clear guidance before implementation.
I therefore urge MOE to clarify the policy immediately and review any implementation that could result in existing, legally operating education institutions being denied registration renewal solely because they do not meet the equity requirement.
A Government that speaks of diversity and inclusivity must ensure that such policies are transparent, reasonable and fair.

The Malaysian Government must explain whether the restrictions placed on recruitment agencies from four migrant worker source countries under the Foreign Workers Centralised Management System (FWCMS) were made as a matter of government policy, or soley determined by the Bestinet, the private operator of the system.
This question has become even more pressing after recruitment industry associations from Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan issued a rare joint statement expressing serious concern over syndication, potential monopolistic practices and private control in Malaysia’s migrant worker recruitment system.
The four associations called for all legally licensed recruitment agencies to be given fair, transparent and non-discriminatory access to FWCMS.
In Nepal, only 25 agencies out of more than 1,100 were approved, with some of the selected companies reportedly having no prior track record in migrant worker recruitment.
Bangladesh initially faced a similar arrangement, where only 25 agencies were allowed direct access to FWCMS. Following protests, the number of participating agencies was expanded to 338, including the state-owned BOESL. However, the additional agencies were classified as Associate Recruiting Agencies, meaning they would still have to conduct their business through the original 25 agencies.
Despite the concerns raised jointly by the four countries, there has yet to be a clear public explanation from the Ministry of Human Resources or any other relevant government agency on the fundamental issue of access to FWCMS.
Why are only selected agencies given access to the system? Who determines the list — the Malaysian Government, or the private operator of FWCMS?
The fact that the list in Bangladesh could be expanded from 25 to several hundred agencies shows that this is clearly not a technical limitation. The Ministry of Human Resources therefore owes the public, employers and the source countries a clear explanation of how these decisions are made.
As Chairman of the Southeast Asia Parliamentarians Against Corruption (SEAPAC), I am also concerned about the reputational impact on Malaysia.
Migrant worker recruitment involves substantial financial interests and has long been associated with allegations of vested interests and corruption. A rare joint statement from four source-country recruitment associations cannot simply be ignored.
Malaysia government must be able to explain why it is in a position to determine which recruitment agencies in another country are permitted to participate in the recruitment process. Without a transparent explanation, it will be difficult to dispel concerns that access to the system may be concentrated in the hands of a small number of players.
I therefore call on Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Ramanan Ramakrishnan to clarify whether access to FWCMS is determined by the Government or by a private company.
If the list is determined by the Government, the Ministry must disclose the selection criteria, legal basis and approving authority.
If it is not a government decision, then the Ministry must explain why a private company has the discretionary power to decide which legally licensed recruitment agencies may participate in Malaysia’s migrant worker recruitment system.

Migrant worker recruitment directly affects Malaysian SMEs, migrant workers and our relations with source countries. Allowing a private company or a small group of intermediaries to exercise excessive control over access risks creating monopoly, higher recruitment costs and greater vulnerability to worker exploitation.

At a time when we should be reflecting on how Malaya achieved independence, how Malaysians can strengthen unity, and why we should take pride in being a multicultural nation, much of the public conversation has instead turned into a cycle of monitoring, reporting and asking: who has hung the flag wrongly this time?
Around this time last year, UMNO Youth Chief Akmal Saleh seized on an incident involving an incorrectly displayed Jalur Gemilang at a hardware shop in Kepala Batas, Penang. Together with Bersatu Youth Chief Hilman Idham and more than 100 supporters, they gathered and marched to the premises.
Akmal was subsequently called in by the police to have his statement recorded, but no further action followed. At around the same period, mistakes involving the Jalur Gemilang by PAS and the Ministry of Education were treated with considerably more leniency.
The inconsistency did not end there.
Following last year’s controversies, a dental clinic in Pontian, Johor was ordered to close for 30 days after displaying the flag upside down. This year, a factory in Kulai was ordered to suspend operations over the incorrect display of the Jalur Gemilang and Johor state flag, while a worker was remanded for four days to assist investigations.
Yet, during the same period, an obviously incorrect Jalur Gemilang product sold by a major retail chain did not appear to attract the same level of punishment.
Politicians who deliberately exploit such incidents for political mileage certainly contribute to the division in our society. But the Government must also take responsibility for its slow and inconsistent response.
When similar mistakes are met with very different consequences, the Government itself creates the perception of double standards.
Such selective treatment is contrary to the spirit of the rule of law. It weakens confidence in the Government’s ability to enforce the law fairly and consistently, while giving extremists more room to inflame public sentiment.
More than a year has passed since the last major controversy and protest over the Jalur Gemilang. Yet no government agency has come forward with a clear and workable framework.
Instead, every National Day season, we return to the same culture of witch-hunting over incorrectly displayed flags.

This would bring the issue back to the basic principle of the rule of law: clear rules, proportionate penalties and equal treatment for everyone.
No one should be above the law. At the same time, enforcement should not become so excessive or inconsistent that similar cases receive vastly different treatment.
Only when Malaysians see the law being applied fairly and consistently can confidence in our institutions gradually be strengthened.
That is the Malaysia we should be proud of.

Pakai VR terus nampak macam pakai helmet besar… terus jadi kelakar sikit. 😂
Tapi bila dah masuk dunia VR, memang lain macam, visualnya realistik, menarik dan buat kita rasa macam betul-betul berada dalam suasana itu.
Selepas pameran Pameran Imersif Audio Visual China–Malaysia “Gunung dan Lautan” berakhir di Kuala Lumpur, kami turut membawa pengalaman teknologi ini ke SJK(C) Yuk Chyun, Petaling Jaya.
Seronok tengok pelajar-pelajar cuba sendiri, terus banyak soalan dan penuh rasa ingin tahu. 😄
Kadang-kadang, minat terhadap teknologi bermula dengan satu pengalaman kecil — cuba dulu, baru tahu sejauh mana dunia boleh berubah.
