The fear is the eventual withering away of the language, leaving a question mark hanging over the 1Malaysia concept.
There is a a perceived grand plan to purge the Tamil language from the education system through the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and more than 20 national Indian NGOs will stage a protest on Dec 12 at the Wisma Peladang in Petaling Jaya against it.
The perceived grand plan is the government's elimination of Tamil language and Tamil literature under the 10-subject SPM package system from next year.
The joint NGO group organizing chairman A. Thiruvenggadam said Indian students whose mother tongue is Tamil would not be able to sit for subjects in their language because of the restrictive ruling and this is not what 1 Malaysia is all about.
The problem with the 10-subject SPM package arises if if an Indian student sits for nine subjects, he has only one more subject which can be used up for Tamil language and will not be able to sit for Tamil Literature. Worse yet, if the Indian student takes all 10 subjects there is no option at all for both the subjects, A. Thiruvenggadam said in an interview with Malaysiakini.
