“Don’t you have any compassion for non-Muslim children?” DAP leader asks PAS
PAS and Perikatan Nasional (PN) had once more demonstrated that their political stance is not in line with a multi-cultural and multi-religious country such as Malaysia.
(Focus Malaysia) – BANGI MP Syahredzan Johan has warned the PAS ulama wing against politicising the issue of school canteens after Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek’s announcement that school canteens will continue to operate during Ramadan.
The DAP leader said there are many reasons for school canteens to remain open during the holy month, including the presence of non-Muslim teachers and students who are not fasting, in addition to some Muslim children who are not obligated to fast as they have yet to reach puberty.
“We shouldn’t forget about incidents that were previously reported where non-Muslim students had to eat in school bathrooms and other inappropriate spaces during the fasting month,” Syahredzan said in a statement on Wednesday (March 13).
“Don’t PAS leaders like Datuk Ahmad Yahaya have any compassion for these children?”
