Muslim students’ group Gamis accuses Dong Zong of Islamophobia
By Soo Wern Jun
Gamis president Saifullah Baiduri said the remarks by Dong Zong secretary-general Ng Chai Heng, that there was a significant fear among the Chinese educationist group members that introduction of jawi script lessons in vernacular primary schools would"Islamise" students, had no basis. He was responding to Ng who made the remarks during a forum held yesterday in which he reportedly said that minority groups have no issues of learning Jawi scripture as it had already been introduced in history lessons within a multicultural context, but the history books is one of the representations of Islam and has drawn fear from parents of Islamisation within the classrooms.
However Gamis has viewed Ng's remarks as something which did not make sense and was only made to 'save face'.
