Leadership needed in UEC recognition


THE current hot debate on whether the Education Ministry should grant official recognition to the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) is not only getting toxic, but is threatening to turn racist.

This should be avoided at all costs by all stakeholders – the Government, politicians, Malay NGOs, Chinese educationists and opinion writers.
