We, as Dong Zong (the United Chinese School Committees' Association of Malaysia) plays an important role in shaping how Chinese language and culture are preserved.
Here are our core perspectives on this topic emphasize several key themes:
A Malaysian-First Identity
Rooted locally: We stresses that Chinese education in Malaysia is fully localized.
Not a foreign import: We explicitly counters misconceptions by stating that the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) curriculum is a Malaysian creation, not an import from China or Taiwan.
Global yet domestic: We supports a syllabus that teaches broad civilizational history but frames everything through a distinct Malaysian lens.
Integration with National Language
Support for Bahasa Melayu: We strongly advocates for the mastery of the national language alongside Chinese.
Examination mandates: Dong Zong agreed to policies requiring independent Chinese school students to pass Bahasa Melayu and History.
Refuting marginalization: We uses high Malay-language passing rates among Chinese independent students to prove that cultural preservation does not come at the expense of national unity.
Educational Inclusivity & Soft Power Opening doors: We actively promotes expanding student enrollment to non-Chinese students in Chinese independent schools.
Multicultural value: We believes sharing the premium, tri-lingual education model builds broader community trust and local soft power.
