Is Srikandi Bersatu’s vernacular school uproar meant to divert attention from bigger issues?

Letter to editor
BERSATU’S Srikandi (women’s wing) should leverage its annual general assembly to call for reforms to reflect progress and salvage credibility rather than resorting to typical race-bait diversionary tactics.
Srikandi Bersatu chairperson Datuk Seri Rina Harun lacks an inclusive spirit when during her party’s annual general assembly on Sunday (March 12) called for the closure of vernacular schools and to retain only single stream schools.
Regrettably, politicians tend to resort to the typical sputter usually as a diversion tactic on any current issues that affect the image and credibility of their party or members, most notably, the party’s echelon.
There are after all, on-going arrests of and charges against several Bersatu top leaders in relation to the Jana Wibawa alleged corruption scandal.
Other “sensationalistic” topics which politicians may unfurl to divert attention include race, religion, nationalism, citizenship and gender.
Speaking of gender, as the former Minister of Women, Family and Community Development – and given the wide reach of the Bersatu annual gathering – Rina could have used this platform and its publicity to delve into current hot topics.
