NGO Seni Khat Action Team (Sekat) met with acting director-general of education, Habibah Abdul Rahim in Putrajaya today to discuss the implementation of Jawi lessons in vernacular schools.

Sekat, represented by its secretary Arun Doraisamy was joined by the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Jawi Teaching Special Committee (JTSC) coordinator Eddie Heng Hong Chai.

"We discussed the issues on Jawi which we highlighted during the congress... we shared how we can deescalate the situation now."

"We told her that the best approach is the same as what our leaders had taken in the past, which is to have a dialogue. We suggest for a dialogue to be held with multiple parties, including our Malay friends."

Arun added that both parties agreed that unity would come above everything else.
