SEPANG: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says Palestine solidarity programmes in schools need to be controlled.
This comes amid reports of students and teachers carrying toy guns in a school as part of displays of solidarity with Palestinians under siege in Gaza.“We have to control this. We discussed this in the Cabinet meeting. We encourage schools to do this but we do not force them.
A 55-second video that went viral on social media showed an event held in a school involving what appeared to be a man wearing a bulletproof vest, a balaclava mask and pointing a toy rifle at students while leading a group of teachers into an assembly. In response, the Melaka Action Group for Parents in Education told the education ministry to provide a stern warning against schools who were involved in allowing the students to bring toy guns for Palestine solidarity week.Magpie chairman Mak Chee Kin said the incident is worrying as children should be instilled with positive values.
