KUALA LUMPUR: The court's decision to allow MCA to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the legality of vernacular schools has made it the first Chinese political party to uphold the rights of vernacular schools in a legal process, says party secretary-general Datuk Chong Sin Woon.
MCA, represented by Chong, and 13 other organisations have been allowed by the High Court to intervene in the lawsuit made by politician Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz.
Chong said MCA would uphold the tenets of the Federal Constitution that enshrined the rights of minorities in Malaysia to teach and learn in their respective mother tongues, and this includes the establishment and operation of vernacular schools. High Court judge Justice Nordin Hassan made the decision after the applications to intervene did not receive any objections from the applicant here Wednesday .Apart from MCA, the 13 organisations that were allowed to intervene and become defendants in the case are Khairul Azam's own party, Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia ; Gerakan ; Persatuan Tamilar Thirunal Perak ; and Persatuan Gabungan Kebajikan Guru-guru Bersara Sekolah Tamil Malaysia as the third to sixth defendants.
Earlier, Khairul Azam's lawyer Datuk Shaharudin Ali told the court that his client had no objections to the applications regardless of whether they would be favouring his client or the Government.
