Maliki Osman on use of 'Peribahasa' in schools

"Peribahasa" or proverb will no longer be examined as a standalone component in the national examination but it will continue to be assessed within text and passages so that students will apply their inferential skills and understand its contextual use. Students will continue to learn Peribahasa in the Malay Language lessons. Through discussions, presentations and research, students develop an appreciation for the rich values and culture encapsulated in Peribahasa. Second Minister for Education Maliki Osman said this in reply to an MP’s question in Parliament on Friday (Mar 1).
