I welcome Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Steven Sim for raising the reported 30% Bumiputera equity requirement for tuition centres at the Cabinet meeting.
According to his statement, Cabinet has directed the Ministry of Education to review the requirement and report back promptly, following concerns from operators who fear they may struggle to renew their licences from 2027 if they cannot meet it.
This is a welcome first step. What matters now is follow-through. I hope MOE will publicly clarify whether this review is limited to tuition centres, or extends to the wider private education sector.
Policy reviews should not be piecemeal. If the Government is reviewing this requirement, it should take the opportunity to clearly address its scope, rationale, implementation, and impact on existing operators.
The industry deserves clear, stable, and predictable policy direction.

Pada 20 Ogos lalu, saya menulis secara rasmi kepada Lembaga Disiplin PKR. Permintaan saya mudah: adakan sesi pendengaran dalam tempoh sebulan. Saya mahu tahu dengan jelas — apakah kesalahan yang didakwa saya lakukan, dan peruntukan disiplin mana yang dikatakan saya langgar. Saya juga mahu parti memberi jawapan rasmi terhadap surat penjelasan yang telah saya kemukakan.
Kini, sebulan sudah berlalu. Sesi pendengaran? Tiada khabar. Keputusan Lembaga Disiplin sama ada ia perlu diadakan? Tiada khabar. Langkah seterusnya? Masih tiada khabar.
Terus terang, ini mungkin rekod “read tak reply” paling lama dalam kerjaya politik saya. Bezanya, kali ini dua tanda biru pun belum tentu ada.
Sejak menerima surat Lembaga Disiplin pada 2 Julai, menyerahkan penjelasan, sehinggalah permintaan rasmi saya pada 20 Ogos — hampir tiga bulan sudah berlalu. Sehingga hari ini, sifar maklum balas.
Nampaknya giliran saya dalam parti masih di belakang permohonan membaiki penghawa dingin bilik mesyuarat.
Saya menghormati proses disiplin parti. Saya bersedia bekerjasama sepenuhnya dalam apa-apa proses rasmi. Tetapi proses disiplin bukan lesen untuk berdiam diri tanpa noktah. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila ada pihak yang sudah bebas membuat penilaian terbuka terhadap tindakan saya, malah menggunakan kuasa pentadbiran sehingga menjejaskan hak seorang Ahli Parlimen backbencher.
Permintaan saya tetap sama, tetap mudah: jika saya melanggar disiplin parti, nyatakan dengan jelas peraturan mana. Beri saya peluang menjawab melalui proses yang sewajarnya. Jika tidak, berikan keputusan dan penjelasan — secepat mungkin.
Mesyuarat Lembaga Pengampunan yang membincangkan isu tahanan rumah Datuk Seri Najib Razak boleh disegerakan dalam seminggu akan datang. Saya sukar memahami mengapa LD parti pula boleh terus berdiam diri selama berbulan-bulan.
Adakah menjelaskan isu disiplin seorang Ahli Parlimen lebih rumit daripada menguruskan pengampunan oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong? Kalau ya, mungkin saya patut berasa “berbesar hati”.
Sikap berdiam diri dan mengelak keputusan begini, tidak bertanggungjawab, dan memalukan.
Saya tidak lagi bercadang untuk terus mengejar perkara ini. Sekurang-kurangnya, satu perkara telah saya pelajari daripada pengalaman ini: cara membina kesabaran menghadapi “read tak reply” pada tahap yang luar biasa.
Tetapi kronologi ini perlu didedahkan. Biar ahli parti dan masyarakat tahu apa yang sebenarnya berlaku dan biar ia direkodkan dengan jelas.

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.
