In 1957, Malaysia became independent of the British empire, and although it is stipulated in the constitution that all peoples have the right to freely study their mother tongue, the highest objective of education has adopted a standard of "one language and one system." Thus Chinese language schools have received differential treatment in educational funding, the teaching license of Chinese language education enthusiast Lin Lian-yu was revoked, and so on.
一九五七年馬來西亞脫離大英帝國獨立，雖憲法中規定各族人民可以自由學習母語，但最高教育方針卻以「一種語言、一個制度」為準，因而對華文學校教育經費實施差別待遇，及吊銷華文教育熱心分子林連玉的教師執照等。
