PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan today criticised the PAS ulama wing for accusing education minister Fadhlina Sidek of sparking an “unnecessary” controversy by stating that school canteens will continue operating during Ramadan.
Syahredzan said there were many reasons for school canteens to remain open, including the presence of non-Muslim students and teachers who are not fasting.“We should not forget about the incidents previously reported where non-Muslim students were made to eat in school bathrooms and other inappropriate places during the fasting month.SPONSORED CONTENT Sabah revenue hits RM6.
He added that non-Muslim students can bring food and drinks to school and eat in a space allocated for the purpose.“That would suffice, without the need for a directive for canteens to remain open, which seems a bit excessive,” he said.Syahredzan said PAS and Perikatan Nasional had again demonstrated that their political stance is not in line with a multicultural and multi-religious country like Malaysia.
