PETALING JAYA: The education ministry has shared a guideline for the Palestine Solidarity Week, which bans the use of weapons and promotion of political parties.
In an infographic posted on X , education minister Fadhlina Sidek urged schools to avoid extremist rhetoric, manipulating the facts and blaming specific groups or religions based on the actions of a few individuals.She also said schools should steer clear of anything that may lead to confrontation and refrain from showcasing a one-sided perspective of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
She encouraged schools to organise charity campaigns, forums, and work with NGOs in activities for students. The 55-second clip 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.The ministry said it would not compromise with any activities with “extremist” elements, adding that the use of replica weapons, icons and symbols in a provocative and confrontational manner was “strictly prohibited”.
