Vernacular schools open doors to new opportunities

KUALA LUMPUR – Knowledge has no boundaries especially when it comes to mastering another language that is not your mother tongue.

In fact, it opens doors to new opportunities for those wanting to advance in their careers or aiming to establish themselves as industry leaders.

While vernacular schools and their role in education continue to be a thorny issue in the country, it benefits Malaysians of various ethnicities by being fluent in Chinese and Tamil.

Assoc Prof Mohammad Rahim Kamaluddin, a criminologist at Psychology and Human Well-Being Research Centre, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia attended Tamil primary school in SJK (T) in Menglembu, Ipoh before completing his secondary education at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Anderson, Ipoh, Perak.
