5. Why, after 55 years, MCA is still talking about Chinese education and that it is the sole party able to defend it? Instead, by saying so, MCA has actually admitted it had failed to promote and defend the people’s right to mother-tongue education since 1957. If not, why are we still upset about this issue?2 u8 z [% O _% Q5 s
