The following reports indicated that your ministers are defending the BTN courses because it instill patriotism, nationalism, in line with the 1Malaysia concept, no racial content, inculcate positive values and not a political indoctrination.

If the BTN courses are that positive why then your Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz announced today that the Cabinet has agreed to revamp the Biro Tata Negara (BTN) following rising pressure to shut down the programme, which has been called a tool to spread racist propaganda.

Please tell us truthfully, which is which, BTN courses are good or bad.

Shahrizat said it was not justified to be apprehensive of the content of the BTN course as the people loved the 1 Malaysia concept.

Shahrizat said based on her experience when attending the BTN course there was no racial content.

It has a well-structured course,” he told reporters after receiving 200 Umno membership application forms here today.

He said that as the deputy minister in charge of the BTN, he would ensure that the courses would go on as they were in line with the 1Malaysia concept and had no racist elements.

Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mukhriz Tun Mahathir described the decision by the Selangor government as inappropriate. He said that the BTN courses were neither politically-motivated nor racially-motivated.
