Najib plays education card to lure Chinese voters

As the Chinese turnout at Pakatan Rakyat functions continue to grow, it would appear BN chairperson Najib Abdul Razak has opted to play the education card over the past two days.

On Sunday, Najib told a rally in Selangor that his administration had approved SMJK (C) Confucian's request to relocate to Rawang.

He claimed that his government will also be funding the construction cost of the facility.

Yesterday, Najib was in Johor where he announced that his administration had approved the establishment of a second branch of another reputable institution, Foon Yew High School.

Foon Yew, a Chinese independent school, had applied to establish a branch on a plot of land it acquired in Seri Alam, Pasir Gudang.

"We give things to everyone, Malays get, Chinese get, Indians also get. This is our government, this is the BN government," he said during a BN rally at Kompleks Sentosa, Johor Bahru yesterday afternoon.

Najib said that incumbent Johor Bahru MP Shahrir Samad, who is defending his seat, had made a request for Foon Yew to be allowed to build a new campus.
