I wonder whether the Assistant Minister is aware that by virtue of attending Madrasa which is the Muslim equivalent of a Sunday school, many of those people he has referred to as illiterate can actually read and write Arabic. I wonder whether while compiling the statistics he takes this into account. You cannot just declare someone illiterate just because he cannot read and write in English and yet he can read and write in other languages. Does the Assistant Minister take that into account?"

By virtue of attending the Madrasa which is the Muslim equivalent of a Sunday school, these people can read and write in Arabic, which is the language in which the Quran is written. When the Assistant Minister compiles his data and says that 44 per cent are illiterate, does he take this into account or does illiteracy mean not being able to read and write in English?"
