Intelok - DPM agrees for a Panel

Press Statement

1. The mandate of the Panel must be enlarged to study whether the book itself is appropriate to be included as a reading material.

2. The panel must include reputable academicians from the Indian Community and its findings made public.

3. The panel must be set up quickly and with a fixed time-frame to give its recommendations.

4. The book should not be used as a reading material until the panel's recommendations are implemented.

5. To avoid such incidents in the future, an independent panel consisting of academicians from all races, including the main ethnic groups from Sabah & Sarawak must vet all the books before it is used as reading material.
