KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 ― Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek advised school canteen operators to continue operating throughout the month of Ramadan even if the school has less than 10 per cent non-Muslim students.

“So we don't want a scenario where students eat at the store or by the side of drains, I don't want that kind of situation. Media reports yesterday had quoted PPKSM secretary-general Siti Normah Md Desa as saying that the Ministry of Education should leave the decision whether to open school canteens based on the considerations of school administrations and canteen operators according to the needs of students.

“We have engagement sessions from time to time to ensure that the curriculum meets the needs of Down Syndrome children, in addition to taking into account the progress cycle. At today's event, 30 students with disabilities were the first recipients of the 'Back to School' packs donated by Yayasan Petronas containing vouchers for a set of school uniform, shoes, socks and sports attire, in addition to equipment kits such as school bags, stationery sets, colour pencils and scientific calculators.
