flag Malaysia's Federal Court upholds the constitutionality of vernacular schools.

flag Malaysia's Federal Court has dismissed an appeal by two non-governmental organizations (NGOs) seeking to challenge the constitutionality of vernacular schools and the use of Chinese and Tamil languages as mediums of instruction. flag The court's majority two-one decision upholds the Court of Appeal's ruling from November 2021, which declared vernacular schools constitutional. flag This means the use of Chinese and Tamil in teaching and learning in national-type Chinese and Tamil primary schools is now considered within the right and protected under Article 152 of the Federal Constitution.
