立大学一事，董总与教总愿意接受以大马教育文凭考试马来文科优等作为附带条件，这
已充分说明政府承认统考文凭，完全不会影响马来文作为国文和官方语文的地位。

4. 董总与教总强调，承认华文独中统考文凭是一项教育课题，应该让教育回归教育，从学
术层面处理，董总与教总劝请各方面不应加以政治化，蓄意操弄情绪。

5. 我国华文教育运动和华文独中，向来都提倡促进国民的团结、和谐与相互尊重。华文独
中是国家教育体制内的其中一种学校，长期以来为国家培养人才。因此，有关方面实不
应继续排斥或边缘化华文独中。事实上，我国是一个拥有多元民族、多元文化、多种语
文、多种源流学校和多种宗教信仰的国家，这些多元社会特质是国家的资产和优势。我
国的繁荣富强、团结和谐与文明进步，是需要全民的贡献，让来自各种语文、文化、宗
教和教育背景的全体各族人民参与建设，发挥所长，为国家感到自豪，活得有尊严和归
属感。

develop a new state of affairs, in light of the change of government since the formation
of Malaysia. It should employ new way of thinking and new point of view when reviewing

2. Dong Zong and Jiao Zong wish to refute the claims that the UEC syllabus was imported
from Taiwan and thus not in accordance with the context of Malaysia. Such accusation
is misleading and inaccurate. The UEC syllabus was drafted based on the national
