Only Malay-Muslim can be Malaysia’s education minister, insists PAS MP
The next education minister must be Malay and Muslim, according to PAS MP Ahmad Amzad Hashim.
(MMO) – The Kuala Terengganu MP also expressed fear that Maszlee Malik may have been forced out of the post yesterday by an “agenda to weaken” efforts to base national education on the Federal Constitution.
The PAS lawmaker likely meant vernacular education.
“His replacement as education minister must be a Malay-Muslim with better qualities and possessing the drive to bolster education based on Malaysia’s mould as a sovereign Islamic nation,” he said in a statement.
