People commented that the above observation is\u00a0based on the following important facts. Our Prime Minister held\u00a0Minister of Education from 1974 to 1976.\u00a0 (3 years), Deputy Prime\u00a0Minister from 1976 to 1981.\u00a0 (5 years) and Prime Minister from1981 to\u00a02003.\u00a0 ( 22 years). If he wanted to recognise UEC, it would be easy\u00a0therefore, it is\u00a0 fair to say that our Prime Minister will never agree\u00a0to the recognition of UEC so long as he is our Prime Minister.\u00a0 The\u00a0people said &#8220;Please don&#8217;t put too much hope on him,&#8221; added Ting.<\/p>\n<p>To the Chinese, education is very important and so is the language\u00a0Mandarin\/Chinese.\u00a0 Indeed it is widely accepted and recognised that\u00a0outside China and Taiwan, the standard of mandarin\/chinese in Malaysia\u00a0is ranked number 1.<\/p>\n<p>Ting pointed out the sacrifices from the Chinese educationists and\u00a0philanthropists in Malaysia are well known. It is these groups of\u00a0people who continue to face the tough challenges all these years and\u00a0that at every Parliamentary election, the issue of the recognition of\u00a0UEC by the Federal Government would\u00a0 always be raised by DAP, MCA and\u00a0Gerakan with the hope of getting the support of the Chinese.\u00a0He said the father and son team, Lim KitSiang and Lim Guan Eng always\u00a0shouted the loudest, till May 2018. Since then, their lion roars have\u00a0never been heard on this. They don&#8217;t see, don&#8217;t hear and don&#8217;t speak\u00a0anymore on this.<\/p>\n<p>Lim Guan Eng and Chong Chieng Jen in their PRU 14\u00a0 videos assured and\u00a0promised the Chinese populations that with the strong mandate from the\u00a0Chinese, DAP and their goverment would recognise UEC within 30 days.\u00a0&#8220;Will they have anything to say to the Chinese voters regarding the\u00a0statement by our Prime Minister? Sarawakians, espcially in town areas,\u00a0are now asking why Sarawak DAP YBS and leaders have also gone very\u00a0quiet and are indeed acting dumb, not only on this issue but other\u00a0issues as well.\u00a0 We are blessed with our present Chief Minister Datuk\u00a0Patinggi Datuk Amar Abang Zohari who had announced that he and his\u00a0Government would continue to recognise UEC, a policy decision made by\u00a0the late Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem, the 5th Chief Minister\u00a0of Sarawak, our Dear Tok Nan, as fondly called and remembered.<\/p>\n<p>In addition,\u00a0 our Tok Nan started to allocate fund to the 14\u00a0Independent Chinese Middle Schools in Sarawak, RM 3 million in 2014,\u00a0RM 4 million in 2015, RM 5 million in 2016, RM 6 million in 2017 and\u00a0last year, our present Chief Minister Abang Jo gave\u00a0 RM7 Million. This\u00a0is Sarawak. We are unique and we must remember that Sarawak must\u00a0always come first. In view of the above, people would like to seek\u00a0answer from Sarawak DAP leaders.\u00a0 Will Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng,\u00a0Sarawak DAP YBS and their leaders apologise to the Chinese who voted\u00a0for them in PRU14? he asked.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23625\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23625\" style=\"width: 168px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dato-sebastian-ting-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23625\" alt=\"Datuk Sebastian Ting\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dato-sebastian-ting-1-168x300.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dato-sebastian-ting-1-168x300.jpg 168w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dato-sebastian-ting-1-576x1024.jpg 576w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dato-sebastian-ting-1.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Datuk Sebastian Ting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUPP read with grave concern and disappointment of the statement made\u00a0by our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir on the reasons why he and his\u00a0Government could not recognise UEC, going against the promise of such\u00a0recognition as contained in PH manifesto in PRU14, said Secretary\u00a0general, Datuk Sebastian Ting.
