Islamisation in our schools – are the fears justified?
YOURSAY | 'Are other religious groups allowed to set up their respective clubs as well?'
Vijay47: Pardon my French, Education Minister Maszlee Malik, but what the damn hell is wrong with you? What are you up to?
Despite your pretentious denials, you are obviously obsessed with carrying out stealthy Islamic missionary programmes rather than attending to your position of education minister.
The alarm bells first went off when your mentor, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, slyly appointed an Islamic Studies graduate to care for the education of the country’s young impressionable, innocent schoolchildren and sure enough, one of your first achievements was to instruct teachers, who are almost exclusively Muslims, to dedicate themselves to the dakwah onslaught.
I can readily overlook your expertise in black shoes and cinema inspiration as aberrations of a simpleton’s mind lacking in intelligence, but when this misfortune further mutates into cunning religious objectives, we know that you represent the evil face of Islamisation in the realm of learning.
I admit that in a moment of naïve foolishness I, who was totally opposed to the teaching of khat or its alter ego, Jawi, had even agreed that Chinese education group Dong Zong should perhaps re-think their stand. But now, seeing the latest developments you have engineered, Maszlee, I say no way in hell should you and Mahathir ever be trusted again.
You now piteously plead that the Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim) circular was intended only for Muslim students in selected institutions of learning. Pray tell us, who are the target victims of such proselytisation efforts if not non-Muslims? And, if your notice is all that honourable and only in respect of leadership ventures, why is it restricted to just certain institutions?
If your circular was all that virtuous, why is your ministry disturbed that it was “leaked”? And, as I asked earlier, Maszlee, why your obsession with Islamisation in education? Isn’t the RM1 billion budget for Jakim (Department of Islamic Development) enough?
Dong Zong was so right when they viewed you, khat, and Jawi with intense suspicion. They should be ashamed of themselves if they ever sat at the same table as you.
Iiiizzzziiii: I think the education minister is more stupid than he looks. Why do you want to set up an Islamic society in multiracial and vernacular schools, and emphasise on exclusivity? If this is being done in an Islamic school, no questions asked, but in non-Islamic schools? What is the objective here?
Clever words do not masquerade the intention. I think the English word 'hypocrisy' aptly describes the Education Ministry’s latest policy. And I thought education is beyond race and religion. Not in Malaysia.
Just Thinking Aloud: Education is sacrosanct to the non-Malays, especially the Chinese. To keep introducing and encouraging programmes that contradict the ideals of academic excellence and the building of wholesome individuals through education, the minister has done great damage to the goodwill of the rakyat towards Pakatan Harapan.
This will surely cost Harapan extensive loss of support from the non-Malay/urban demographics come GE15.
Hearty Malaysian: Maszlee has no better idea to improve the education system than changing school colour and Islamising the school curriculum. It imposes on others directly or indirectly, if not segregating the students according to religious grounds by injecting more Islamic element into the school programme.
Religious belief and learning can be handled better within the family or at places of worship, instead of schools. We have plenty of government-supported Islamic schools for students wanting to learn. Don’t try duplicate it in our other schools.
Myviews: Irrespective of whether it is Islamisation or not, why is it so important to keep on emphasising on the subject when there are much more important things to pursue?
