Malaysia: Association wants Telugu reinstated as exam paper

BUTTERWORTH: The Telegu Association of Malaysia is appealing to the Government to reinstate Telegu language as a paper in public examinations in secondary schools.

Its president, Dr Achaiah Kumar Rao, said the paper was dropped from the former Sijil Rendah Pelajaran examination (now replaced by Penilian Menengah Rendah) in 1993 because few students were sitting for it.

“But now, we have at least 800 students who attend Telugu classes in 40 government and Tamil schools nationwide," he said.
