Former education minister Maszlee Malik says he is ready to sue Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki over the latter's claims that the Pakatan Harapan government had glorified communists in the Form 4 History textbook.

Maszlee, who is also Simpang Renggam MP, has demanded that Asyraf tender an open apology after the Education Ministry clarified yesterday that the changes in the textbooks were made in April 2018, when Malaysia was still under the Umno-BN rule.
