Dr Mahathir is not wrong to suggest that a single stream school system can help to promote unity and racial integration.
He said that Malaysia is unique because it had multiple school streams but other countries had only one.
The ex-premier should be reminded too that Malaysia is also unique because it had so many race based political parties but other countries such as US, Canada and Australia would not even tolerate race identification and discrimination.
Dr Mahathir should blame his own policy and his party for discriminating and amplifying racism in the country.
The outcome: Two bright students Daniel Ibau and Marina Undau were denied places in the matriculation programme just because they were not Bumiputera enough. Many more had suffered the same fate.
Dr M should not just preach but he should walk his talk by telling his party leadership to turn multiracial because it will be good for unity and racial integration too.
Otherwise, it is better for him to realise that we are growing really tired of his hypocrisy.

mi1: The fact is, more non malay parents are sending their children to Chinese or Tamil school as they have lost trust in national schools. The teachers performance is very poor and the govt has not initiated any rules or regulations to upbring the national schools. First the govt should impose KPI's on teachers, in order to get rid of "cari makan" teachers.
