Chinese Ministers not fighting for community
KOTA KINABALU 24 April, 2009 : Chinese Cabinet Ministers are not
making efforts to fight for the Chinese community’s benefits, said
Association of Sabah National-Type Chinese Schools Management
Committee Chairman cum SAPP Treasurer Datuk Wong Yit Ming.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Wong said: “I and many
others agree with Datuk Chin Su Phin’s opinion that our Chinese
Ministers are not reflecting our problems to the Cabinet.
“For example, our Association of Sabah National-Type Chinese Schools
Management Committee has found a location to build a school to ease
the overcrowding situation in primary school classrooms but to date
the Cabinet has not given us the approval yet,” he said.
Wong said many Chinese community-related problems could be resolved
in the Cabinet, unlike some issues which need to be brought to a
court.
“If we can discuss matters in the Cabinet, we will get more respect
for our rights,” he said.
Wong also said that Chinese Ministers should side with the Chinese
community because they deserve the benefits as what MCA President
Datuk Ong Tee Kiat has said.
“Datuk Chin’s courage in speaking his mind is very much supported by
the Chinese community because he reflects our hardship,” he said.
