KOTA KINABALU: The Education Ministry must refrain from imposing a 30% Bumiputera equity quota on existing tuition centres in Sabah, says Parti Warisan vice president Datuk Junz Wong.
Wong warned that forcing established education providers to restructure their equity, management, and ownership arrangements would disrupt long-standing family-run businesses and undermine the quality of local education.
He urged the ministry to immediately clarify whether centres failing to meet the threshold would be denied licence renewals starting in 2027.
