Does learning Arabic reflect a colonial mindset, says PBB man

PETALING JAYA: A Sarawak minister has hit out at PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang for saying those pushing for the mastery of English are stuck in a colonial mindset.

“It’s unfortunate for PAS to have a leader with such a shallow mindset,” said Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, a vice-president of PBB, the mainstay of the ruling Sarawak coalition.

He said Islam advocates believers to acquire as much knowledge as possible. Being proficient in as many languages as possible would enable better communication with the rest of the world.
